Warning: Olexa’s audio is bad for half of this episode *womp womp*
This week we review a movie we collectively have seen probably 12 times; it is the 2009 romantic comedy, He’s Just Not That Into You. We take on this late 2000s movie to see if it is really as “sexist” and “superficial” as the Rotten Tomatoes critics and Letterboxd users claim. And honestly, we’ve seen worse. He’s Just Not That Into You is just fine, so leave her alone!
Talking points: Toronto slang, movie budgets, reading reviews from practically every movie review platform, movie budgets, stereotyping in films, engagement rings, a rom-com for adult men, “high school” students in film and television, the diversity of your 20s, and Jennifer Anniston’s quest to bring back rom-coms.
