I wanted to give this at least a D+ because I sometimes like Justin Long, but no one in this movie is likable and/or funny.  Rob McKittrick wrote and directed.

I tried to watch this once before, since I love Justin Long in Going the Distance, but this movie is so unpleasant and unfunny that a D+ feels generous.  Still, I could kind of see what they were going for, and I didn't actually hate it.  Ryan Eggold wrote and directed.

He's Just Not That Into You

Romcom, Drama

B-

A dozen years ago, in a time of flip-phones and MySpace, but still with some interesting insights (some derived from the self-help book by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo) about relationships.  Of course, this is a world where everyone, even Yoga instructors, can live like they're upper-middle-class while spending hardly any time thinking about their jobs compared to their love lives.  And the need for some of the characters to have happy endings means that the rules don't apply if someone is "the exception."  Still, worth revisiting.  Ken Kwapis directed.
