He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

While Ginnifer Goodwin's story is enchanting, the rest of these women seem to be not worth caring about. They are filled with negative, unpleasant character traits or, worse, void of personality altogether. Jennifer Connolly plays an uptight housewife who does not want to let her emotional guard down. She plays her part too well, though, and we never get a chance to see inside her mind and sympathize along with her. The best we can give her is an outside, objective "That's a sad situation" reaction, without feeling anything for her ourselves. There are much better movies along these lines. This is not one to keep around. 2 stars.
