The Original "He's Just Not That Into You"


So, my dear girlies, are you excited about the movie, "He's just not that into you"?

I must admit, I haven't read the book. I somehow never wanted to read the self-help book which was going to tell me all the men that I'd dated were just not that into me. Or I didn't like to categorize all the guys into one book. There might be some truth to it, but I've always believed that every relationships is different, therefore the outcome would be different in the end.

But I just want to talk about the guy who started it all: Jack Berger (Ron Livingston) on Sex and the City.

I've worshiped "Sex and the City" since day one, when the first seriese came out. When Carrie met Berger (Season 5) and started dating him (Season 6), they went out to meet her friends for the first time. Miranda was seeing this guy and she wasn't sure if the guy liked her or not (the guy canceled the first date on her), so she asked Berger man's opinion. Berger told her, "I am sorry, he is just not that into you..., " and he went on to explain why he thinks the guy was not into her. Miranda listened to Berger's advise and later told the guy, "It's okay, I understand, you are just not into me..." with a huge smile. Well, it turned out the guy was really sick, that's why he couldn't make it to the date. Yep, he was into her! See what happens when you listen to guys? They have no clue and they are so not good with advise! LOL. Do you remember that episode, my friends??? I really liked him except the part when he said goodbye to Carrie via Post-It note while she was asleep. Sad:(

Anyway, the book, "He's Just Not That Into You" was written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo (the writer for Sex and the City ) which became a huge hit.... I am sure it has helped a lot of women who just didn't know what to do with their relationships/men, but confused them at the same time... My motto: Follow your heart even when you might cry in the end....

Although I will never read the book, I am thinking about going to see the movie with my girlfriends next week. I love chick-flick, especially a cute story like this one. And, one of my favorite actress Jeniffer Connelly is in it. She is so beautiful!!!

I wish i had something to offer in this comment, but sorry, I can't relate, the blogsphere is a women's world & I'm a dude.

I don't think I'll see the movie, but I like reading best seller books (if the most of the crowd likes the book, it's less likely that it's gonna suck, hahah :D), so maybe I'll read the book if I can find it here.

freeteyme said...

I still watch SATC reruns and i agree, this will be a fun movie to watch with my girlfriends.

Advise from guys? it means more trouble! lol

Grand Pooba said...

I love me some sex in the city! I didn't get into it until all the seasons were over because I didn't have cable, but I rented each and every season, couldn't stop until I saw them all!

Never read the book though, don't plan to either because of said episode but the movie looks funny. I've never been a fan of chick flicks but this one is a must see for me.

Anna Lorraine said...

Kaitlyn said...

I don't plan to read the book either but the movie really does look cute! I also ADORED SATC by the way :)

I so want to see that. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

I'm not sure if I will see the movie, but the line and SATC episode was totally hilarious. Makes a lot of sense. Let me know if you like it.

I loved that SATC episode. Never read the book either but I do like the concept of it. I mean it really sometimes can be that simple with men. Not always but sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I have never had so many comments. I just got home from seeing this movie. I didn't love it, I might have liked the book better.
Warm Regards,

My friends and I went and saw it on Friday - it had us rolling with laughter and the whole theater erupted with awwwwww at a few points too. And I have to say, it probably wouldn't be hard for a guy to sit through this one.

MaricrisG said...

I have yet to watch the movie. I'm not really good at finishing a book or even reading it-I'd rather listen to it{audiobook}- I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Elizabeth Marie said...

I'm not sure if I'd pay to go see the movie (maybe wait for cable), but the book was definitely a fun and interesting read. Even if you're married or in a relatonship, you can still enjoy the book. Cute motto :-).
