View all categoriesOur take
Several friends and couples misread each other as they date, marry or drift apart. He's Just Not That Into You is often funny, but its affairs, sex talk and loud arguments are grown-up. There is some swearing and little explicit content. We would watch from 13.
Uplifting themes
Encourages people to value themselves and not settle for someone who does not show up, and shows that honesty matters in relationships. The advice is simple, but it lands well for older teens Some characters are loyal and kind while others lie and cheat, which gives older teens plenty to talk about. Nobody is perfect, and the film lets that be
Story (may spoil tone)
Remember that really cute girl/guy who said they'd call – and didn't? Maybe they lost your number. Maybe they're in the hospital. Maybe they're awed by your looks, brains or success. Or maybe... They're just not that into you.
