He's Just Not That Into You

Hey Kids!!!

OK I just saw the movie He's Just Not That Into You (HJNTIY). And I must say that I enjoyed every minute of it. It is definitely one of those films that you want to go and watch with a bunch of your good friends. This is definitely a chick flick, so that means the target audience are women and gay men. I find it very interesting and a tad bit insulting that Hollywood has started to understand that when you add some queens into your chick flicks you make more money on them. But hey it is the truth. I mean the only men in the audience tonight were of course my awesome self, some other gay men hanging with their female friends and the straight guys that so obviously didn't want to be there watching this movie. And who knows what their little lady promised them for taking them. Sometimes fellas you have to take one for the team. What I did like is that the guys seemed to be very affectionate towards their gals after the movie was over with. It wasn't the gross hands all over them sort of thing, just the holding hands and gentlemen way of letting others know that she is off limits.

The movie takes place in Baltimore, MD. I wasn't all that impressed with the shots (or lack there of) that were taking of B'More. I expected "More" lol. There is an all star cast. I am not going to name all of them if you want to know, just look at the top of this post at the first picture and it has all the names listed. I will mention a few I was impressed with though. I was happy to see Wilson Cruz (mostly known in "The Community" as Dr. Jenito in the Noah's Arc series) had a small but noticeable role in the movie. He and about two other guys act as Drew Barrymore's co-workers and friends. I think it is so interesting that Drew is an advertising rep for the Baltimore gay newspaper called "Blade". The real paper is called "Baltimore Gay Life".

There are so many different parts that I think a lot of people can relate to in this movie. The star is Ginnifer Goodwin from HBO's "Big Love" fame. She does a pretty decent job considering that she is in a movie with all of these more famous actors. Her Character name is GiGi and she needs to get a clue. She continues to throw herself out there to get rejected and it just seems like she wants more rejections. You actually feel sorry for her at some points in the movie. She becomes friends with Justin Long's character and asks him advice about men's different lines and games she thinks we play. I must say the more movies I see with Justin Long in them, the more of a fan I am becoming of his. He had the funniest lines and scenes in "Zach and Miri Make a Porno". And he is cute in this role and film as well. The Jennifers (Aniston and Connolly) are great like usual. I also realized how much of a fan I am of Jennifer Connolly's. She was great in this movie (like all her movies) and she had the most dramatic scenes to play. She is married to the Ultra HOT Bradley Cooper in the movie. Mr Favorite line in the movie "He has an ass so hot that it makes me want to dry hump!" is referenced to Bradley's character. Scarlett Johansson is in this film too. I have really never understood all the hype about her. I guess you have to be straight to see it. She does actually look pretty great in this movie and I didn't realize that she is so curvy. It works well for her.

The hottest couple in the movie is definitely Jennifer Aniston and my Husband...I mean Ben Affleck. Now those of you that know me know that I have such a HUGE crush on Ben Affleck. I still remember the day I came back from Hong Kong and found out that he had started dating Jennifer Lopez while I was over seas. I was so pissed!! But of course I forgave him because that is what you do when you are in love! And even though most of the movies he has starred in have been terrible I still go and see them all...that is called real love and support people...lol...His character doesn't believe in marriage. He has been seriously dating Jenn's character for 7 years without a marriage proposal. How do you feel about that? I will say that him and Jenn's last scene together had me a little teary eyed. Probably because I was pretending that what he was saying to Jennifer he was saying to me. Yes, chick flicks bring out the girl in me (I am not ashamed to admit that...LOL)! If you love a good romantic film I would definitely recommend that you go see this movie. If you love a good film to go see with your friends so you will have something to talk about before, during and after the movie...GO SEE THIS MOVIE. I know I would of had a BLAST seeing this with some friends.

~Verdict~

Two snaps UP and a CALL ME (make phone call hand signal)!
