SPOILER ALERT

Imagine a world in which women are neurotic headcases okay with their men cheating on them but not okay with them smoking! Imagine a world in which men are all commitment-phobic romantic retards in dire need of their d***s being detached, stuffed in a jar, and hidden! Imagine a world in which every gay man is a lisping horny wimp who only cares about sex, fashion, and giving bad romantic advice! Now, imagine a world in which Hollywood gets so desparate (like the women in this film) that they have to adapt from self-help books about dysfuntional relationships! Wait...that movie is called HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.

Jennifer Connelly is the neurotic wife okay with her weakling husband Bradley Cooper cheating on her with a skanky air-headed loser (Scarlett Johannson) but not okay with him smoking. Drew Barrymore is the pathetic hopeless romantic depending solely on the Internet to solve her romantic problems. But the biggest insult of them all is the heroine Ginnifer Godwin.

A sad, obsessive, stalkerish, escaped mental patient disguised as a Disney princess living life ONLY to find Mr. Right. Are we really supposed to root for her? Are we really supposed to be at the edge our seats for her to finally match with the shallow, one-dimensional promiscuous bar manager Justin Long? Are we really expected to care? These two psychopaths finally DO get together, but a better ending for him would be gonorrhea and a happier ending for her would be for her to be carried away in a straight-jacket or to hurl herself out a window.

Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck are the only somewhat normal characters worth caring about. But it's not enough to save this shallow chick flick about middle to upper-class wimpy, crying, whiny romantic losers complaining, crying, having sex, complaining some more, crying again, and having more sex.

Imagine a world in which a film like this grosses $175 million worldwide. Yep...2012 truly will be the end.
