Movie Talk- He's Just Not That Into You

If you haven't seen this movie-check out this clip but do NOT read my commentary at the bottom of this...it will give away a lot of plot!

I was also excited to find out that Ginnifer Goodwin is a Native Memphian...check out her bio
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1045423/bio She played Johnny Cash's first wife in Walk the Line and is also on Big Love...I didn't realize she went to Lausanne here in Memphis- did anyone know her? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginnifer_Goodwin



Spoiler Alert- if you continue to read- it might give too much away....

If you have seen the film...I welcome comments....

This movie rocked! Bradley Cooper is in Wedding Crashers- but he is much hotter in this film!What I found most interesting in this movie is that you end up hating the guy (Bradley Cooper) that was married b/c he married for the wrong reasons…and you end up loving the guy that won’t commit in marriage (Ben Affleck) b/c he grows up and realizes that he wants to get married for the right reasons. I thought it was interesting how the “happily married couple” looked so perfect from the outside yet had a very cold/ distant relationship and even their condo was beautiful to look at, but had a very “cold” feel…whereas, the unmarried couple- who appaeared to have issues w/ committment were very close and would do anything for each other- and their apartment was homy and warm…interesting symbolism in my opinion. I think Scarlett Johannson is overated and was glad there were many story lines so I wasn’t having to watch her for 2 solid hours…but at the same time, both she and Bradley’s characters caused the most emotion in the film…you felt sorry for them while hating them at the same time…I liked all the different characters- b/c we all know someone in each category…unfortunately, I have several “Gigi” friends, that need to quit stalking guys- so hopefully they will go see this movie and listen to Justin Long’s character…and take a hint I haven’t read the book, but think it would be very interesting. I went to see this movie w/ a good friend (Beth) and my mom…I don’t think my husband would enjoy it, but I definitely liked it and will see it again!
