Another one of those sappy romance and this time, it's a date movie and a how-to movie too at the same time!

Based off the book of the same name by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccilo, writers of the TV series "Sex & the City". It was a how-to book on how to tell if a guy is just not into you. The movie is different from the book in many ways. The book being a how-to, instructional, the movie had an actual story and the plot is kind of hard to keep track of. There is an all-star cast. The movie "Valentine's Day" is actually like this movie in many ways with an all-star cast, confusing plots, etc. Also, they were both released around the similar date either on or close to Valentine's day.
The ending is absolutely predictable and it was a good ending. The credits rolled with the character commentaries and were slightly funny. Even the beginning where it started with this one character recalling from her own childhood with her first childhood love and then as a teen, a college student, etc. There were even Japanese, African women talking about that guy that is just not that into you. That was pretty cool.

The part I did not like was how the women were portrayed as toys to throw around except for some characters and the men were portrayed as ones who had their own fun elsewhere. I find this one character "Gigi" to be the most fun one. She is also one of the main characters.
