1.5/5
"this movie will blindside your intelligence."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

C
"The film is a gelatinous mess of tones and characters aching to solidify, only to find the chilly reality of dating and marriage perhaps too isolating to candidly confront."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

C-
"Cheating, trying to get laid, and attempting to wrangle the opposite sex into marriage or something quite like it, never seemed so dull."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

6/10
"He's Just Not That Into You is a standard chick flick, which isn't necessarily a bad thing: it's cute and comic and organized according to fixed, mostly ancient gender roles."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/5
"People often do stupid things for love. That doesn't mean it's worth making a movie about these acts of folly."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

3/4
"Distinctly overlong yet ultimately rewarding..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

3/4
"Unusually perceptive and thoughtful, He's Just Not That Into You nevertheless doesn't pretend to have all the answers when it comes to matters of the heart. That is precisely as it should be."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Easily as generic a chick flick as has come down the pike in many a moon."  Film.com  Eric D. Snider

C-
"A tediously uninvolving ensemble mating-go-round that shuffles together a group of boring Baltimore characters in what's supposed to be--but isn't--an effervescent romantic roundelay."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"Nine twenty- and thirtysomethings in Baltimore wrestle with the mysteries and misunderstandings of sexual politics."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2.5/4
"The comedy is perfunctory, almost as if the filmmakers wanted their child to be a drama but didn't feel confident enough in the material to proceed without a layer of false levity to keep things from becoming too serious."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/5
"Plenty of people are going to hate He's Just Not That Into You, but that sentiment is often the best indicator that a movie is doing something interesting."  AMCtv.com  James Rocchi

2.5/4
"Tangles its large cast of characters and storylines into virtual knots."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"Everyone pitches in, but it isn't enough to rescue a tedious, fragmented, scattershot script."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1/5
"I romantiki gkomenti, poy paei tis romantikes gkomenti se nea epipeda prosbolis ton hazogkomenon poy trabaei ap' ti myti os target group"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

4/5
"It's really a relationship comedy more than a romantic comedy, since a lot of the film is concerned with demonstrating when one should walk away, rather than when to lean in for the kiss and cleave."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

c
"...occasionally sweet and occasionally funny but also infrequently relatable, oddly dated and often downright off putting."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3/4
"Boasts a lot of heart, humor, and honesty."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

3/4
"Despite some definite tendencies toward the formulaic, He's Just Not That Into You actually has half a brain in its head."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B+
"The film balances humor with some sharply observed moments and painfully familiar conversations that are sure to provoke lively debates on the way home from the theater."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

2.5/5
"The "star-studded" cast seems to have been selected according to their Premiere power ranking and/or desperation for exposure."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

1/5
"The women are so unappealing, for the most part, that this may be the first movie in a long time where many viewers will leave the theater wishing that there had been more Ben Affleck."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2.5/5
"Despite a final surge of romantic sweetness, it's just not funny or engaging"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C+
"This plodding, overlong film is like an awkward first date with an attractive setup whose heart isn't in it: polite, dull and seemingly unending."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

6/10
"Bright 'n' breezy, conveying a pop-psychology message about hope, picking up the pieces, starting over and moving on."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
