Vannak, akik azt állítják, kiismerik magukat a világban, de ki dől be ennek. Beth (Jennifer Anniston), Anna (Scarlett Johansson), Mary (Drew Barrymoore) és Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) megpróbálják a lehetetlent: kiismerni a férfiakat. Nézzünk szembe a ténnyel: sosem tudni, mi jár a másik fejében, amikor rád néz, amikor meghív egy italra és elkéri a telefonszámodat. Tudja-e bárki is, miért nem hív vissza, miért tagadtatja le magát, és miért tűnt úgy, hogy akar, és most miért nem akar? A nők tévelyegnek, a férfiak botladoznak, mert az élet nem más, mint a be nem teljesedő kapcsolatok, a félbehagyott, elbénázott, észre sem vett lehetőségek sora. (InterCom)

I didn't appreciate this film until years later, perhaps influenced at the time by whoever was in the director's chair. A hugely enjoyable flick, tasteful, without pandering and with more than one truth of life. Most of all, it's admirable how Kwapis balances the entire film on a fine edge, never slipping into turning his narrative into a shallow cliché. And the character portrayed here by Justin Long is hugely likeable, if I wasn't straight I'd probably fall in love with him :o)

Nice (romantic comedy), but too much talking. It’s fine that the protagonists have thorough knowledge of the theory of interpersonal relationships, but they fall somewhat short in practice. It’s good to hear their bits of wisdom, since they’re not dumb or untrue, but if I just want to listen, I’ll turn on the radio. However, that would deprive me of the opportunity to see the faces (and bodies) of the famous and mostly good actors (and actresses). He’s Just Not That Into You is reminiscent of Love Actually in terms of its runtime and quantity of characters, but not in any other respect, unfortunately. Because the film is basically a series of loosely connected dialogue scenes on a similar theme, I had to figure out what the given characters felt for each other and with other characters with each new scene. Maybe it didn’t really matter in the end, but I wanted to have a clear idea about how the screenplay overrun with living beings in love wasn’t helping me. Unlike other romantic comedies, I was bothered by this film’s inability to “settle into” the story, the protagonists were likable and the minutes spent with them were pleasant. Besides that, He’s Just Not That Into You isn’t as modern a romantic comedy as it tries to pretend to be (modern technologies, women calling men): only heterosexuals pair off, being alone means being unhappy, and infidelity is punished in the end. 70%

Lemonade with some solidly outlined life truths, but in a lighter vein and without pushing the envelope. Considering the ensemble cast, which is without exaggeration fabulous, it’s quite a wasted opportunity to make a stylish relationship drama like Closer, or a black-humoured social satire in the style of the late Woody Allen films. This one oscillates right in the middle, and looking for a distinctive signature would be a waste of time.

I never have high expectations of romantic comedies (good thing I don’t), but I was pleasantly surprised this time. Sure, the film did have those sappy moments that I was counting on, but it didn't go overboard with them. It was funny, it had its dramatic line and didn’t pull any punches towards either men or women. A lot of blockbusters don't have such a great cast, although Ben Affleck... The two hours just flew by, and I was decently entertained all along, so there you have it.

A blast of a diversion that I enjoyed in an unprecedented way. Probably what I enjoyed most was that it maintained an extremely appealing and civil tone throughout its running time, you could sense how much everyone involved enjoyed it, even though they were conscious that they were making a simple romantic comedy. Not that it was particularly ordinary – Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore... a really unprecedented and very enjoyable cast. A nice film that radiates positive energy and will put a smile on many a face. The fact that it manages to do this without using any forced or spasmodic techniques is "just" another big plus.
