A Second Sub-Par Trailer fo 'He's Just Not That Into You'

DateFriday, November 28, 2008 at 3:04AM
Color me skeptical of He's Just Not That Into You. For starters, I think the track records of Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Ben Affleck are overpoweringly bad in romantic comedies.

I mean, this one's definitely going for broke, throwing Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long, and Bradley Cooper in the mix, as well, but it's hard to get past those first three names.

Plus, it's from the human hit factory that is Ken Kwapis. Sure, he directed some Office and Larry Sanders episodes, but television is much more a writer's medium than a director's medium, and Kwapis' film resume includes both Dunston Checks In and The Beautician and the Beast...back to back.

OK, you say, but that was a long time ago. Surely, he's done better more recen...

Nope. Sorry to cut you off, but: License to Wed, 2007.

So again, crack open the box of crayons, look for skeptical, and fill me in. The trailer doesn't help.


Blame MovieWeb; that's where I found this

He's Just Not That Into You opens on February 6th, a very busy day early in 2009.
