[imdb he’s just not that into you]I know this film has been out for a while, but I enjoyed the trailer so much, I needed to review it anyway.  I’m not usually a fan of ensemble pieces; I usually get invested in one or two of the characters and get bored when the others are on screen.  However, this film does a really good job of balancing the time and energy put into developing each character. 

The trailer nicely showcases the characters, plot lines, and humor evident in the film.  It gives the audience some very good examples of the jokes they should expect to hear, the banter, the neurotic characters; without the irritating habit most trailers have of giving away the end.

From the trailer, the viewer gets the sense that the film is a little deeper and more heartfelt than your typical romantic comedy, but still a comedy with romance, nonetheless.  However, the trailer doesn’t have a single scene with one character chasing after another one; we are not told outright how the film will end.  If you are a seasoned film-goer, there are many cinematic clues you can glean from the scenes chosen by the trailer author, but even when you’re watching the film, you still do not quite know where it’s heading.

I absolutely love every clip the trailer has of Ginnifer Goodwin.  I must admit that it was mainly her little expressions, like when she dismissively waves her hand towards the phone, that made me really want to see the film.  I must say, I was not disappointed.  Her character alone was enough for me to like the film, despite her innate neuroses.
