He's Just Not That Into You

So Kim… you are not going to like what I have to tell you.

What?

Have you seen the preview for He’s Just Not That Into You?

What? As in Sex and the City?

Same writers. It’s a about a bunch of girls running around trying to figure out why it did not work out.

OH POOOOOHHHHH!!!!

My friend was right. I did not like what he had to say. For weeks, I was worried that this movie is going to scoop my book idea. I was so excited about writing, especially with this blog.

I had plans to see the movie the first day it came out. That some how did not happen. Then I had plans to see it the next weekend. That some how did not happen… oh I remember, we went to the theater but it was sold out (we saw Slumdog Millionaire instead. LOVED IT!!! I might or might not have shed a tear or two at the end). I finally saw He’s Just Not That Into You a couple of weeks ago.

The movie of course was a total chick-flick. I heart chick-flicks. This one, however, I did not enjoy. There were some funny parts, e.g. when Gigi stayed in the bathroom and made her date wait. The accumulation of dysfunctional relationships and female insecurities/paranoia overwhelmed me, making me sad and agitated. The happy endings failed to cheer me up. Of course happy endings are expected in chic-flicks, but these ones felt forced. One thing that I was certainly happy about was that this movie did not scoop me. I was extremely relieved. I began “Chapter One”.
