He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

Stereotypes on steroids - steroidotypes?

Relationship cliches and stereotypes, maximised.

It's very difficult to watch this despite the cast, as one scene after another is borrowed from other sources.

There is an odd thing where Hollywood film makers borrow from other films they've seen rather than examining real life. So we have war films like 1917, supposedly "realistic" yet showing people shooting rifles from the hip while running. Similarly this romantic movie just copies lots of ridiculous scenes from other romance movies and maximises them.
