Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
