It's Just Not a Movie Worth Watching

I am not a chick that enjoys 'chick flicks,' so it was surprising to most people that I would even bother to shell out the $10 to go see He's Just Not That Into You.

Despite the obvious warning signs of chick-flickery, such as Jennifer Anniston being one of the lead roles, I went because the trailers alluded to how people have used different text mediums to communicate with the opposite sex. Unfortunatly, only Drew Barrymore's character was using texting, Myspace or internet dating, and even then, the only insight that this particular movie had was already shown in the trailer. Drew Barrymore discussed about how she changed her Myspace profile to attract new types of men. None of this being new information. Anyone can put up some scantily-clad photos of themself and profile views are bound to increase.

Granted I have yet to read the book, and I have seen some horrid movie adaptations and probably shouldn't judge, but I would just like to warn people against seeing this film, especially if you think it will add insight to the way young, single people communicate through text. If you are going to waste 3 hours of your life, at least wait until it's playing on HBO.
