He's Just Not That Into You (2009 Ken Kwapis)

Ginnifer Goodwin (great), Kevin Connolly (really playing E again), Scarlett Johansson (is she our new Marilyn Monroe?), Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck and Drew Barrymore.

Abby Kohn and Mark Silverstein wrote it (How To Be Single is their new film, with Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson - very mixed reviews) rather well.

There are two marks against it. 1. It doesn't need to be in widescreen and in fact huddles most of the action into the centre of the frame anyway. 2. The music e.g. Keane 'Somewhere Only We Know' played far too heavily over what should have been (and is) a key acting moment between Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin.

John Bailey shot it reliably.
