It sort of reminded me of that movie The Women- it kind of makes us all seem like morons. I find solace in knowing men are just as stupid though- even if it's not depicted at that moment on the big screen :)
He's just not that into you sterotyped women, men, and homosexuals. It doesn't really bother me though- I try to take it for what it is- an hour and a half of mindless entertainment- and go on with my life. It definitley isn't oscar worthy :)
I thought it was really good. When you go to see "these" kinds of movies, you have to know what to expect (especially if you read the book). I consider myself a "modern" independent woman and I wasn't in the least offended by it. It was meant to be funny and, as with most stereotypes, it's based loosely on reality, but exaggerated for comedy sake.
I saw the trailer at the theater and thought it looked hilarious! I was looking forward to watching it and having a good laugh.
I enjoyed the movie, but GOOD LORD, I was annoyed with the people in the theater. I'd say it was 95% women and they all acted ridiculous. FI took me and I felt so bad for him. These women gasped, ooh'd and aah'd as if on cue throughout the whole movie. I just kept thinking "I can't believe this is happening!" Too much estrogen even for my taste. Overall I thought the movie was mostly predictable but had some good ideas. I read the book and loved it so I was interested in seeing how they interpreted it to make a movie. Oh, and Scarlet Johanson's character...don't get me started.
haha, I know, people started clapping at certain points in the movie and it felt like I was watching a Lifetime Movieof the Week or on Oprah or something. Your FI is a good man for going with you. I went for a friend's bday, otherwise probably wouldn't have seen it! The thing is, I liked the general concept the way they showed it in Sex & The City - which I thought was empowering - women learning to stop putting so much energy into the guys. But in this movie, it seemed like the girls would just take any ol guy that was into them, and were just learning how to find him!
I thought it was cute. It did portray women as being man-obsessed in some cases, but isn't that TRUE of some women? Other women (Jennifer Connely's character, Jennifer Aniston's character) in the movie were solid I thought. And it ALSO protrayed MEN as having a lot of mental issues when it came to women. I wasn't expecting that - I figured it'd be entirely about the women. I really loved the ending with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck's relationship... I just about cried, it was sweet. Luckily we did not have a bad theatre experience - when we went it was in a HUGE theatre with stadium seating, and there were only 4 other people in the whole theatre. Those are my favorite!
Jennifer Aniston was def. my favorite of the storylines, because it rang the most true and I liked her character. I didn't love Connely's character who gave her husband an ultimatum and seemed a lot more ok with the cheating than she should have been..... The main character though was just too over the top - I mean she had no interest in the Mac guy until she realized he liked her - and then she seemed to like him for the mere fact that he was into her. I guess it is true in some cases, and for some reason Charlotte's charact on S&TC never bothered me!! and she is as man ob sessed as they come!

I thought it was soooo predictable and made women seem a little pathetic at times! I don't know, just my 2 cents!
I didn't see it -- I'm not a chick flick person at all, and it seemed to me to be just another one of those goofy, predictable girl movies. I usually enjoy Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore, but this one wasn't worth my $10.
I was disappointed that the movie wasn't nearly as snarky and helpful as the book and or its authors. It was totally untrue to its roots and then tied up alllll relationship in a neat little "just believe in love" bow at the end. Which is completey stupid. We're all smarter and cooler than that. I'm chick flicked out between this, bride wars and shopaholic, I need to go see a boy movie!

I was wondering what you all thought of this movie. I saw it last weekend and really, well, was no that into it. I thought it portrayed women as marriage/boyfriend obsessed ninnies and COMPLETELY went against the whole concept of the title in the end. And I normally am very easily amused by movies, so I was suprirsed I didn't just enjoy it, but I found myself pretty annoyed throughout the movie.
