“He’s just not that into you.” Why can’t we face that one small truth instead of filling our minds with platitudes on why he didn’t call? That’s what the film He’s Just Not that Into You explores, revealing the neuroses we all have and the games we all play in relationships through the interwoven lives of nine beautiful people.

Movie
Dirty Dancing isn’t so much worthy of a four-star rating based on the film itself, but more because of the iconic status it holds in the minds of women (and maybe even some men).
I won’t waste much time on plot synopsis – we all know it’s a coming-of-age love story set against the backdrop of a foxtrot-dancing, talent-show-holding retro resort, where the staff and teenage daughters of the guests attempt to curb their raging hormones with some after-hours bumping and grinding.

Movie
Oh to be 16 and knocked up again…well, at least half of that.
Not long after this film was released, there was controversy over a gaggle of teenage girls who thought it would be a good idea to get pregnant in high school, just like the teenage star of the film Juno. But it seems if there is one message this film is definitely not trying to send, that would probably be it. Maybe you just have to be over the age of 16 to understand it.
