A group of interconnected, Baltimore-based 20- and 30-somethings navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life. Trying to read the signs of the opposite sex, each hopes to be the exception to the "no exceptions" rule.

He's Just Not That Into You – Enjoyable

He's Just Not That Into You tells a number of different story arcs between couples. Among them, Beth (Aniston) wants her longtime boyfriend Neal (Affleck) to propose to her, Ditzy Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) tries to look for a guy who will call back after the first date, with the unexpected help of the bartender Alex (Long) and Ben (Bradley Cooper) is torn between his wife Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and the beautiful Anna (Scarlett Johansson). The twist here is that all arcs are interconnected in some way.

The movie is fairly enjoyable in the easy, familiar way. It does a good job of keeping all the stories straight without confusing anyone by giving each character a distinct personality and smoothly transitioning between each story. The acting is pretty faultless as well with Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Brendan Cooper and Justin Long displaying some of their best work. Scarlet Johansson is as stunning as ever and plays the temptress well. The only major compliant about the movie is the time it takes to wrap up the various sub-plots. Just when you think things are resolved the film has another plot twist to deal with.
