Every girl likes to think her date went well and that there was a connection, even if there wasn't. Some tend to blow their interpretation of the date way out of porportion and believe there's something more than there really is. If he's not calling you back after the first date - he's just not that into you!

And so the premise of this movie, based off the best selling self-help book.

Our story follows several couples who's lives all intertwine at some point or another. First we have Gigi who has a fabulous date with Connor, or so she thinks. Connor's not really all that interested in her though - he'd much prefer hot Anna, but she no longer enjoys sleeping with him and would rather move on with her life, putting Connor on the backburner, just in case. Anna meets Ben at a convienent store one night and she's smitten with him as he is with her, only he's married to Janine who's busy renovating their home and already starting to question her trust with Ben. Janine also works with Gigi and Beth. Beth has spent the last 7 years with Neil and when her baby sister gets engaged she starts to wonder if Neil is really serious about their relationship and why he hasn't proposed to her. And then there's Mary, Anna's good friend who has trouble keeping a guy past the first date and complains about how men keep rejecting her through various forms of technology (ie: Myspace, text messaging, voicemail, etc). In the midst of it all, after Connor blows her off, Gigi starts taking advice from bar owner Alex (also Connor's friend), who continuously tells her that if a guy isn't doing A, then he's just not that interested and to move along.

It was interesting to see how all the characters lives intertwined with each other and everyone can relate to at least 1 of the multiple story lines - the girl wondering if she's wasting her time on a guy who won't propose, a woman who finds out her spouse is having an affair, never hearing from someone after the first date, reading too much into a situation, and so on.

Even though it's more of a chick flick, the men in the theater were nodding their heads and sharing the occasional laugh, as there's so much truth to what's being said. A good choice for a girl's night out or a romantic date night.
