I present you, He's just not that into you a.k.a Er steht einfach nicht auf Dich! in Germany.

Ahh, a good ol' chick flick. The typical ROMANCE and LOVE and LUST and even SEX (Which makes me wonder why is it labeled a CHICK flick? Do these categories only attract the chicks? I'm sure roosters out there would love a bit of romance etc too? who labelled it a chick flick anyways? aaanyways OFF TOPIC).

It was out on our screens on the 12 Feb is AussieTraLia. Before watching the movie I had NO CLUE of the casts (Nor am I familiar with much actors anyways...) so throughout the movie I was surprised to see familiar faces but couldn't put their name to them. I did recognise DREW BARRYMORE and that FRIENDS chick JENNIFER ANISTON (...and that was it. haha). The rest, well you could see it on the poster. The story of the movie, and its many characters of whom I got confused with until the middle of the movie is conjured by the concept of MEN'S BEHAVIOUR in rejecting "us poor girls". It cleverly and humourously depicts this concept in not just a one-sort-of-girl but of different cultures (just a hint) and girls in different relationships. It was also all too conveniently but cleverly (I have already used that word but pfft.) had linked all the seemingly unrelated characters together.
As you would expect from a chick's flick there would be romance and light humour. It did have all that but nothing more.

I admit, there was this ONE TIME, ONE SCENE where I really did LOL (like, LAUGHED OUT LOUD) but that was it. It isn't a movie that YOU MUST WATCH, but something to pass the time. But by passing the time, it may involve dissecting all the references and the reactions of "OH MY GAWD THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME or THAT IS SOOO TRUE" to the scenes. Then afterwards, you might become more aware of your own actions, or reflect on your own relationships with the other sex or ponder the very fact that... HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!! Yes you.

The Chicken gives this movie a...
