Heidi and I rented He’s Just Not That Into You on BluRay over the weekend. Heidi wanted something pretty light, and it looked to be your basic Romcom.
I enjoyed it much more than I expected to. The acting was amicable and the writing contrasted a number of relationships in order to communicate a few key themes – which I will express here as pseudo-mathematical formulae:
- Commitment > Marriage
- Dishonesty < Infidelity
- Infatuation != Love
I won’t say much else other than I felt it was surprisingly worth watching.
Haha, when we were renting bulk movies a few months back this was one of them. My sisters, their bfs and mum were watching it and I joined them a bit into the movie. I had so much trouble tracking the characters in it, as did the bfs, who probably weren’t paying much attention.
“Wait, so that guy with brown haired girl? And he’s talking to… the girl that’s with the other guy? And she’s the rule or the exception?… Wait- where am I?”
