Based on the bestselling book of the same title by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, this is a comedy about relationships and reading the signals sent by potential or real-life partners. The main characters, played by a star-studded cast, are busy finding or losing love and talking about it. While I still fondly remember the Sex and the City episode sparked by Behrend and Tuccillo’s book (Miranda learns from Carrie’s boyfriend that a guy who doesn’t want to come up after a date is “just not that into you”), I’ll probably soon forget this none too entertaining, formulaic movie.
