Just got back from seeing it, and loved this movie so much! Everyone in the audience was really into it, gasping and sighing at all the right spots. Outstanding acting from everyone, so good. Of course, Jen was great and Ben, so sweet, but I was really impressed with all the actors. Justin Long was standout, such a great story line between him and Ginnifer's character.
On a side note: I had read some review about how the Baltimore setting was phony and no one has houses that big. Those were really authentic looking houses for B-more, we aren't exactly NYC. They did a good job of capturing the city overall I thought. The only little nitpick was Bradley Cooper's character, saying, dude we're on the Ocean. That is the Bay, and the ocean is a good 8 hour sail away in another state. |

from BBC
Quote: Romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson, has topped the North American box office.
The film, which follows a group of 20 and 30-somethings trying to work out the rules of dating, took $27.5m (�18.6m)in its opening weekend.
Based on a best-selling book inspired by Sex and the City, it pushed kidnap thriller Taken into second place.
Animated adventure Coraline, starring Dakota Fanning, came third.
It was the best performing of the two Fanning films opening this weekend.
Sci-fi thriller Push, in which the 14-year-old plays a clairvoyant on the run from a secret organisation, took $10.2m (�6.9m) to come sixth.
Steve Martin's critically-derided follow up to his Pink Panther remake was the fourth most watched film.
NORTH AMERICAN BOX OFFICE
1. He's Just Not That Into You - $27.5m
2. Taken - $20.3m
3. Coraline - $16.3m
4. The Pink Panther 2 - $12m
5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $11m
Source, Media by Numbers
However, it opened weakly compared to the 2006 film, taking a little more than half the amount that film managed in its first weekend.
Former number one Paul Blart, Mall Cop rounded out the top five.
Strong start
Defying the credit crunch, cinema revenues were up by 19.4% in North America compared to the same period last year.
Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media by Numbers which compiles the figures said: "I've not seen the start of a year this strong in my entire career."
Jennifer Aniston's previous film Marley and Me also topped the North American box office on its release at Christmas.
Producers of He's Just Not that Into You hope the romantic comedy will also benefit from the Valentine's Day audience next weekend.
of course you wouldn't see that because Jen just comeback  |

From Daily Telegraph Sydney. There�s a little video with Justin and Ginnifer at the premier at the link.
Love stinks ... Justin Long talks about his relationship with Drew Barrymore at the premiere of He's Just Not That Into You.
IN THE movie He's Just Not That Into You, Justin Long's character Alex has all the answers to modern dating dilemmas.
But in real life the 30-year-old actor admits he's no relationship expert.
"Go google us and you tell us," said Long, who broke up with co-star Drew Barrymore after making the movie together.
"When it comes to my own relationships personally, sometimes it's hard to see it when you're too close to it.
"You need a couple of months to kind of step back, and that's what I've been doing, and it's been good.''
Long and actress Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays his on-screen sparring partner Gigi, are in Australia to promote the romantic comedy, which opens in cinemas on Thursday.
He's Just Not That Into You centres around a group of 20 and 30-somethings trying to read the signs from the opposite sex.
The movie, which was adapted from the book of the same name penned by Sex and The City scribes Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, features an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson and Barrymore.
It weaves together the stories of a bunch of couples and singles, all centred around Long and Goodwin's characters.
The two Hollywood actors have been friends for eight years, and frequently offer each other advice.
"I'm able to give advice and offer advice to friends, and I do it personally with Gin,'' Long said of Goodwin, who broke up with fellow actor Chris Klein in December.
Goodwin, on the other hand, is more than happy to give her friend's ego a boost when he needs it.
"All the ladies are going to be crushing on you so hard after this movie," she told him.
Long said he used to think the rules of love were universal, but recently realised that the game is played a little differently in some countries.
"I've come to find out that you people, you Australians, are a lot more like me in that we're not so into dating," he said.
"I didn't know that was considered an American phenomenon, this rampant dating that's going on.
"I share your beliefs."
"Is this your way of hitting on the women of Australia," Goodwin interjected.
"Maybe, in a weird indirect way," Long laughed

Ginnifer Goodwin accessorized her Brian Reyes dress with an umbrella when she hit the Australian premiere of He's Just Not That Into You at Sydney Harbor. Goodwin was joined by co-star Justin Long for the rainy Down Under debut.

OVIE HOLE AUSTRALIA
Clint chats to Justin Long & Ginny Goodwin
Author: Clint Morris Date: Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 Time: 7:06 pm
Actors Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin flew in from New York on the weekend of Australia�s worst natural disaster � the tragic bushfires that have claimed near 200 lives (and that number is likely to increase by the time this interview goes to print) � to promote a movie.
As the Hollywood stars were introducing ''He�s Just Not That Into You'' to a premiere audience in Melbourne, fire-fighters nearby battled treacherous blazes in an effort to save as many people as they possibly could from the horrendous adversity (Alas, those brave firemen were no match for the fierce fires that ripped through townships such as Wandong and Kinglake and many, many homes, not to mention lives, were lost).
�I can�t even wrap my head around it�, says Long, obviously taken back by what he�s heard and seen of the fires on the local TV news. �It�s just terrible. There�s nothing you can say. It�s tragic. And you can�t help but acknowledge it in the interviews we do. And doing all this publicity for a film just seems so insignificant compared to what�s going on this week.�
Goodwin agrees that it feels wrong �just promoting any kind of movie�.
Long, best known for his roles in the films ''Die Hard 4.0'' and ''Jeepers Creepers'', says he�s taken back by the courageousness and amity of the Australian people � and that includes our new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
�I saw some footage of him on TV the other night � and I was taken back by just how sensitive he was. He�s a very eloquent man. He was shedding tears. He seems to be legitimately in mourning. On a human level, he seems to be truly affected by it.
�[Americans] have lived through, and are now trying to cope, from a similar tragedy for the past eight years � and we didn�t really have a guy like that there for us�, Long says, referring to the tragic events of September 11, and former leader George Bush. �Seems we�re both (Australia and America) in better hands now�.
Though the actors say it�s difficult promoting a film in the current circumstances � it is still important that audiences have �an escape� at such times, says Goodwin.
And this is a good �escape�.
The film, based on a best-selling book, tells of a mass of interconnected characters, led primarily by the desperate and dateless Gigi (Goodwin), who weave in and out of the picture, all either stuck in, looking for, or leaving, a relationship.
In the case of Gigi, she�s constantly being either stood up, or used, by men who, for some inane reason, don�t care to see her again after that initial date. In an effort to steer herself away from the hurts again, she seeks advice from relationship guru, Alex (Long), the slick manager of a local bar.
�[The film] is light and people can relate to it � because life is funny�, says Goodwin. �It�s a film that shed�s light on relationships. It�s an intelligent story�.
�As opposed to one of those comedies that�s moronic � with moronic humour. You know, films that get their laughs by having people fall and trip over?�, adds Long, who, as he�ll attest, has starred in his such of such movies � like teenage comedy Accepted and comedy dud Strange Wilderness.
Though the film features a well-known cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore, Goodwin was actually one of the first actors attached.
�[Producers] had seen me on [TV series] Big Love, but mostly, they thought I embodied the character�, the actress, who also appeared in the film�s ''Walk The Line'' and ''In The Land of Women'', says. ��And they were right. I am pretty much this girl.
��I could also relate to Gigi�s plight � I�m humiliated on a daily basis and my heart�s but broken so badly it�s nearly killed me�.
Long couldn�t relate to his character as much � but that�s what interested him about the role. Having played teenagers for so long � and usually geeky ones � the young actor wanted to stretch his wings and show people he was capable of playing other parts; in this case, a slick, confident, well-dressed young man.
Long originally met with the producers to talk about playing one of the other roles in the movie but begged them to let him for read for the charming Alex.
�I thought I could do it - I thought I could play this jaded guy. It was such a great opportunity for me to show audiences another side of me�, he says.
The actor, who shares a home with another 30-something-actor whose still playing teenage roles, ''Superbad'' star Jonah Hill, said it was also a chance to play someone his own age for a change.
�It�s hard to keep playing teenagers when you�re hair line is receding as much as mine is�, says the. �I�m 30 now, and I was 28 years old in [teenage comedy] Accepted. You just can�t keep doing that��
It also works in the film�s favour that Long and Goodwin, who play potential lovers in the film, had a history.
�I�ve known Ginnifer for, like, 8 years. I hadn�t seen her in a while but just knowing she was going to play that role, and therefore hearing her voice in my head whenever I�d read the script, really helped. I knew straight away, because of who Ginnifer is, the tone of the thing. It�s genius casting�.
The film is getting great feedback from critics � due to its realistic [interweaving] storylines and the fact that it doesn�t paint the man (as many of these types of films do) as the bad guy. Even the character that cheats on his wife in the film has been written and performed so well that you don�t necessarily hate the guy � you actually feel for him.
�I was sympathetic to the character�, Goodwin says.
�And I think that�s a testament to how well Bradley Cooper played the part�, adds Long.
�I had one journalist though who didn�t feel that way though � she said �but Ginnifer, wouldn�t you just want to rip Scarlett Johansson�s eyes out if that was your husband?���
��I don�t think someone could say that unless their husband had cheated on them � they�d had to have been there. Someone�s got some issues they need to deal with�, laughs Long. �But that would definitely make for a great headline! �Ginnifer Goodwin wants to claw Scarlett Johansson�s eyes out!�.
