YMMV / He's Just Not That into You

• Tear Jerker: Janine, upon discovering that her husband cheated on her with Anna, immediately starts assuming it's her fault for not being "fun" anymore even when Gigi and Beth try to tell her it's not.
• Unintentional Period Piece:
  • This film is practically a time capsule of what dating was like right before the explosive popularity of smartphones in The New '10s, and with them the rise of dating websites and apps, specifically in Gigi's story.
  • Some aspects of the film already looked dated when it came out, given it was shot in 2007. Most of the young cast still had landline phones in their homes, and had work numbers that they gave to dates. The film shows voicemail as the primary communication method, and the existence of text messaging is only briefly mentioned. Mary's rant about being rejected on seven different devices also became dated fairly quickly when smartphones consolidated it down to one for most people.
  • This film also came out at the latest possible time anyone was still using MySpace.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Everyone in the Anna/Ben/Janine triangle:
  • Janine: Willfully ignored from the very beginning that Ben wasn't that interested in her and essentially forced him into marriage by giving him an ultimatum.
  • Ben: Didn't have the balls to tell Janine that he wasn't that interested in her and married her rather than breaking up with her, then cheated on her rather than having the balls to divorce her first. He’s definitely the worst of the three.
  • Anna: Yes, the Closet Shuffle Ben pulls on her is humiliating. But she was fully aware that she was sleeping with a married man. Did she really expect him to be faithful to her?
• The Woobie: It's hard not to feel bad for Gigi when Alex tells her that yet another guy doesn't like her.
  Gigi: So, what? Now I'm just supposed to run from every guy who doesn't like me?
  Alex: Yes.
  Gigi: ...There won't be anyone left.
