This film has mixed reviews. People either love it or hate it. I'm on the side of loved it. I knew it was based on a self help book so I knew it play out like one. There are all these side stories and then the male narrative on how to tell that he's just not that into you by giving advice to Gigi, the typical girl who doesn't pick up the signals that he's just not that into you. I thought Gigi was a bit naive. Even I'm not dumb enough to not pick up on the not interested. But I guess since this was made into a book and then a movie... it seems there are many women like Gigi around blind to the truth. She does make a good point that at least she puts herself out there so that she does find love instead of being like Justin Long's character who just isn't interested in anyone, and so he is no where near finding love like Gigi. I don't know if they named the character Gigi after the movie, but since I can't quite remember I may have to rewatch it so see if my hunch is right. I really liked the in between commentaries the film had as it played out the chapters of scenarios people find themselves in from getting in, to he's not marrying you and so on. It was a cute spin on the classic romcom style. If you know it plays out like a book and if you're dating/married life isn't boring in real life, you most likely might like it. Otherwise you probably won't.
