Watched this on 21 Feb late night @ Cathay Cineleisure with Sylvia.

Ever since the preview came out 3 months ago, the funny and attractive cast drew my attention and made it a must-watch movie on my list. And after watching it, i wasn't disappointed especially with the impressing group of cast.

The plot chronicles the romantic misadventures of nine individuals in their twenties and thirties. Somehow, all their stories were familiar as they were like happening around me, or even my story. There always be times when girlfriends sitting in a cafe consoling a girl who was unsure. Or a desperate girl hopelessly waiting for her phone to ring. Worst, held your breath while checking your voicemail.

I especially like Gigi who repeatedly misinterprets the signs that men give her about their level of interest in her, and Alex, the manager of a bar and a friend of Conor who rejected Gigi. Alex often gave dating advices. Never did he know that he had slowly fell in love with Gigi through all those phone calls with her.

The many couples in the movie did a good job in delivering their roles. And the in-between statements that further emphasis the movie title "He's just not that into you", with people telling their experience. Women deceiving themselves by telling themselves white lies, men thought they knew everything yet they don't. Really a good movie for both men and women.
