New Moon doesn’t really break any new ground and fans of the book are likely to be a little disappointed by how much the film has strayed from the book. Oh, who are we kidding? The movie has Taylor Lautner shirtless and the gorgeous-no-matter-what-he-wears Robert Pattinson so girls of all ages will love it.

Truthfully speaking, I didn’t enjoy the movie as much as I hoped, but considering how insanely excited I was to see New Moon, there was no way it could be anything other that a little disappointing. After repeated watchings I have warmed to it significantly and have found myself enjoying it much more.

If you have read the book and loved the book, prepare yourself for a completely unnecessary fight scene and Taylor Lautner shirtless for no reason other than having him appear shirtless. All and all, it’s a fun watch if not slightly too far away from the Twilight characters we know and love. I felt the same way about the first movie, though so keep that in mind.

All the scenarios are covered here. The explanation, as it so often is in real life, is always the same. He’s Just Not That Into You. Say it. Feel it. Sulk over it. Get over it.

The cast is ridiculous. Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Gennifer Goodwin (she’s the one that looks like a million other actress.), Drew Barrymore, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Connelly and even a little cameo by Kris Kristofferson. I really don’t know what else to say about the cast. Phenomenal.

He’s Just Not That Into You says everything your friends should say when you find yourself in that lonely place called Rejectionville. More than that, it goes a step further and tries to tell you how to avoid ending up there again. Sure there is a bit of a cliched and expected ending, but it feels a little nice to see the boys get a taste of their own medicine.

Necessary viewing for anyone who has ever been the victim of love’s downside.
