"He just not that into you if..."

Wow, my first trip to the theater in ages, and it turns out I still have a nose for good movies.  Last night, I saw "He Just Not That Into You", which was a phenomenonly feel-good movie.  For women and teenage girls.  I would not advise you to go see this movie if you are not a softie for chick-flicks and/or romantic comedies at heart.  I mean, really, I am one of those girls who likes to curl up with a good chick-flick, and this was my new favorite movie. 

Initially, I was dissapointed by the reviews that were online for the movie.  It averaged between a "B" and "C".  Which spells out "average", for those of you still in secondary school.  And, even being a teenage girl who likes these kinds of movies (um, hello, "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Never Been Kissed"?), I had a gut feeling I was going to be disappointed after all the hype (Drew and Justin started dating while they were shooting the movie, and they've broken up before it came out?).  But really, I wasn't.  

Don't expect a "lawl" (or "lol" or "laugh out loud") throughout movie, because there is a ring of truth behind all the interconnected and messed-up relationships presented.  How many of you (girls) have been told that if a guy is a jerk to you, it means he likes you?  Right?  So, though it's funny at many points, it's at least somewhat truthful, in that cheesy, girls'-night-in kind of way. 

And oh, how many times I wanted Gigi to hold her tongue, I just couldn't count.  But that's something else entirely.

I don't know how everyone else feels about this movie (and if you've seen it [friends], let me know in school), but I am counting down the days until it comes out on DVD.  Then I'll have a movie night.  [Insert girlish squeal here].  (It seems I haven't been able to sober up after that dose of chick-flick.)

Oh, by the way, I also saw "Taken".  TOTAL POLAR OPPOSITES.  Other people I know (ehem, Mom), thought this was a fantastic movie, but then again, I watched it at eleven at night, so maybe I wasn't in the mood for blood and guts and super-spy killing sprees.  But, you know, if you're into that stuff, be my guest.  I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't a teenage girl who happened to have been in Paris last summer, and is going back to Europe this year (you'll understand it you watch it).

Either way, I hope you all see a movie sometime soon, because either of these movies will give you something to talk/think about.
