The movie has a few too many story threads, but it also has some very funny lines and offers sharp-eyed commentary on the state of relationships in the era of instant messages and MySpace.

The result is a bit like a weightless swirl of cotton candy with a mere second of sweetness before it dissolves on your tongue. But then there's nothing wrong with cotton candy, and besides, the filmmakers never promised more. I guess they're just not into that.
He's Just Not That Into You turns romantic sanity into something so sanitized that it starts to make delusion look good.
No one has anything to distract them from the minutiae of their love lives, which they proceed to incinerate through overanalysis. It's a moral fable, maybe, if you make half a million a year.
This is a very far from perfect movie, and it ends on an unsatisfactory note.
All of this results in way too much relationship chatter and not nearly enough comedy, romance or even dysfunctional relationships. We want to laugh -- but at what?
Whenever faced with another puerile movie ostensibly about women, I play a little game called What Would Thelma and Louise Do?
