Six Who Might Be Not That Into You
Like Friends, only bigger.
by Jeff Giles | August 07, 2007
Discuss Article
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 cast.

According to the article, Barrymore -- who can be seen in next year's South of the Border, with Cheech Marin and Salma Hayek -- will star as "a woman perpetually confused by dating," and could be joined by...deep breath...Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin. From the article:

Jennifer Connelly plays a woman stuck in a tired marriage with Cooper's character. Kevin Connolly, meanwhile, is a man pining after a woman, still not cast, who is having an affair with Cooper.

Goodwin is a young woman obsessed with Kevin Connolly's character who tries to set up accidental meetings with him only to run across his friend, played by Long, who takes her on as a "My Fair Lady" experiment.


Not a bad group of actors, all in all; the timing is particularly fortuitous for Connolly and Goodwin, who are enjoying small-screen success with HBO's Entourage and Big Love, respectively. No word on when the movie will be hitting screens, but production is slated to begin in September.

So now they're turning self-help books into movies? Huzzah.

Next up: "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" starring Robert Downey Jr and Courtney Love. Followed by "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

This is bad news, because the book is just full of bull****, that mostly misleads instead of helping.

Agreed. The book is fun but I never actually listened to any of it. Mostly selfish garbage that doesn't work in or out of relationships.

Well, they already turned "The Art of War" into a movie with Wesley Snipes. (I know, bad joke. That movie sucked!)

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.
