He's Just Not That Into You is a 2009 Romantic Comedy/Dramedy film directed by Ken Kwapis and Based on an Advice Book. The Ensemble Cast includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore (who was also one of the producers), Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long (among others).The movie is different from your typical romantic comedy in that it features not one, but four storylines going on at the same time, with snippets of people on the streets giving relationship advice on various topics. The film is set in Baltimore and consists of these four story-lines: Gigi (Goodwin) is a hyperactive girl who's desperately seeking a boyfriend to the point of stalking anyone who seems interested in her. After trying and failing with numerous guys, she meets bartender Alex (Long), who knows the ins and outs of relationships and helps Gigi see through the charades of the various men she meets. Little does he realize that he's falling for her in the process. Janine (Connelly) and Ben (Cooper) were married after a rather long relationship and are remodeling their home. Janine is happy and looking forward to having kids, but Ben feels that he is trapped and longs for the freedom he felt before marriage. One night he meets Anna (Johansson) at a grocery store, and what he initially tries to justify as a work relationship or a friendship ends up becoming an affair. Conor (Connolly) is a real estate agent with a crush on Anna. They had a 'Friends with Benefits' relationship in the past, but Anna is more attracted to Ben. Meanwhile, Anna's friend Mary (Barrymore) works in ad sales for a newspaper and helps Conor get advertisements for his company put into the paper. Mary is also seeking a boyfriend through several online dating misadventures. Ben's best friend Neil (Affleck) has been living with his girlfriend Beth (Aniston) for seven years, and she wants him to pop the question. The problem is that Neil is afraid of marriage, and he feels that he's loyal enough and their relationship is serious enough that they don't need to be married. In frustration, Beth leaves him, but she soon sees her sisters' and friends' marriages are not as good as what she had with Neil.

comment
Skewed Priorities: Subverted. On the surface, Janine forgiving Ben for cheating but being prepared to divorce him for smoking seems like this. As the film goes on, however, it becomes clear that she focuses on the smoking because it's easier to deal with than the hurt and betrayal over their failing marriage and his infidelity. Janine also makes it clear that she values honesty. She can forgive his infidelity because he came out and admitted it, but can't forgive the smoking because he lied and tried to hide it from her.

Loving a Shadow: Alex helps Gigi realize that she obsesses about guys she barely knows (like Connor) or don't want to see her because she's subconsciously addicted to the thrill and drama of chasing them. With effort, Gigi stops doing this and focuses on finding guys she actually likes and that, more importantly, like her back.

Central Theme
 He's Just Not That into You / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: Honesty now, especially with yourself, will save you pain later. If you're not that into someone, telling them so up front (politely, if possible) is best. Ben is the prime example of this. If he had been honest with Janine he would not have married her in the first place. Or he would have divorced her before pursuing Anna. Then he lies to her again by performing a Closet Shuffle which is also what causes Anna, the shufflee, to dump him. Finally, he lies to Janine about quitting smoking. The discovery of a pack of cigarettes in his pants after he told her to her face that he wasn't smoking is the final straw for Janine and causes her to divorce Ben. Gigi keeps lying to herself through her fantasies about how into her the men she meets are. Alex is honest with her to the point of being insensitive, and it helps Gigi become more realistic about her relationships. Alex finally gets honest with himself that he is falling for Gigi and they get together. On the rebound from pursuing Ben, Anna saves herself from a loveless relationship and Connor from a great deal of heartbreak by telling him that she can't move into a new house with him before he buys the house. Beth tells Neil that she can't be in a long-term relationship without marriage anymore, and although it causes a temporary break between them it gives Neil the motivation to finally overcome his fear of marriage. Mary has been insulating herself from heartbreak by hiding behind online dating services, voicemail, and texting. When she finally decides that she needs to go connect to someone face-to-face, it works for her.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gigi gives a pretty powerful one to Alex at the end of the second act, calling him out on treating women like they're expendable to him, then acting superior for never putting himself out there or getting hurt, when in reality he's alone, doesn't have any meaningful friendships or relationships, and the women he scorns are a lot closer to finding meaningful connections than he'll ever have since they're at least trying.

Sympathetic Adulterer: Of the "Pay Cheating Unto Normal/Boring" variety. Considerable time is spent developing Ben and Anna's relationship and showing that he's genuinely attracted to her and falling in love with her, despite the fact that he's married to a perfectly decent and beautiful woman. Major case of YMMV, considering how callously he hurts his heartbroken wife. Even Anna eventually grows disgusted with him in-universe.

Deconstructed Trope: Janine goes into a fit of rage over Ben's infidelity, flinging his clothes around and smashing a mirror. At this, her fit abruptly halts as she realizes that now she needs to clean up the mess she's made. Also, Janine's entire relationship with Ben. She tells Gigi at one point that he didn't call her for eleven days after their first date, the only reason they started dating was that she called him, and we learn the only reason they're married is that she gave him an ultimatum. (And they're in a Sexless Marriage.) To the viewer, it's clear he was never that into her, and in the long run, he resents her for pressuring him into something he wasn't ready for. Unsurprisingly, their marriage doesn't work out. Anna doesn't end up with Dogged Nice Guy Connor after realizing that Ben is a jerk because she doesn't love him either.

Let's Just Be Friends: Ben tries to rationalize his relationship with Anna by telling her that being married doesn't mean he is restricted from having friends who are also attractive women. Anna agrees, shakes his hand, and then strips down to nothing in front of him to go Skinny Dipping, inviting him to come join her. I don't think she was fooled.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: When Gigi tells Beth and Janine at work about all the signs a man is "just not that into" a woman that Alex told her about, Beth internalizes that if a woman has been with a man for seven years and he hasn't married her yet, then he's never going to marry her. Gigi is clearly horrified and tries to backpedal, but it still prompts Beth to dump Neil. They get back together in the end.

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places: We're talking to you, Gigi. And let's not forget Anna... hooking up with a married man. Then there's Mary, for trying to find love through digital devices (phone, text, social media, Skype dates, etc.) instead of meeting men in person, even though it never works out for her.

Berserk Button: Smoking is this for Janine because she lost her dad to lung cancer. Ben assures her he doesn't smoke, but when she finds a pack of what Harlan Ellison called "cancersticks" in his jacket... To make matters worse, she finds them after she's learned of his infidelity and in the midst of them trying to work things out. They become symbolic of how much he's been lying to her about everything.

A Minor Kidroduction: In the opening scene, the child version of Gigi is abruptly pushed off a jungle gym by a boy. When she tearfully asks why he did that, he yells, "Because you smell like dog poo!" In trying to comfort her, her mother claims, "Do you know why he did that? Because he likes you!" As an adult, Gigi angrily points out that telling girls this sets them up for years of ill-treatment at the hands of men because of being conditioned to believe that it's actually a sign of affection.
