Six Who Might Be Not That Into You
Summary
Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo's bestselling self-help book, He's Just Not That Into You, has gone from the top of the charts to the cultural lexicon, to the point where the titular phrase has become popular shorthand for "wake up and move on, dummy." It's being turned into a movie, of course, courtesy of New Line and Drew Barrymore's Flower Films -- and now The Hollywood Reporter is offering an early rundown of the potential cast. Back to Article

Followed by "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. (Reply to this) |

Circe Prankster writes: on Aug 07 2007 11:20 AM In reply to this comment (#1018189) Ha Hieremias, that's hilarious! You should write a book yourself, entitled "How to Make People Laugh with Snarky Jokes on Comment Threads." You can then sell the movie rights for a pile of cash. :) Actually, this film might be much better than the book it's based on. The self-help advice might be oversimplified and insulting when viewed in the abstract, but if the writers do a good job of placing the concepts in the context of a realistic situation, the film story could be much more meaningful. Hopefully. (Reply to this) |
