This week on Every Rom Com, we go deeper into the self-help movie genre, with a look at an ensemble rom com based on one of the most successful dating advice books of the 2000’s. We’ll explore an all-star cast, including Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long. We’ll talk about the movie and book’s relationship advice and whether it holds up in 2023. And we’ll rank the storylines from worst to best as we discuss the 2009 hit movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You.” This episode features returning guest Jason Kleeberg of the Force Five Podcast!
