When I saw the trailers for last year�s comedy He�s Just Not That Into You, I have to admit I didn�t have high hopes for it. But when several of you requested that I do a post about the various lofts and apartments in the movie, I gave it a shot. And it was actually better than I expected. (Or not as awful as I feared.)
The movie takes place in a fantasy world (called �Baltimore�) where everyone is young and beautiful, and they all live in hip, modern spaces that feature exposed-brick walls. Lots and lots of brick walls. Well, you�ll see.
Beth & Neil�s Loft:
They cast every hot-looking actor on the planet and somehow crammed them into the movie, even if they were given only 5 minutes of screen time each. They�re all searching for love, or trying to hang onto love, or giving each other advice about love.
Beth (Jennifer Aniston) and Neil (Ben Affleck) have been together for 7 years and share this hip apartment. Beth wants to get married, but Neil isn�t as keen.
Beth�s Dad�s House:
After Beth�s dad has a heart attack, she takes care of him in his beautiful home. I loved all the woodwork.
Alex�s Apartment:
Justin Long plays Alex, a ladies� man who has lots of love advice for Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin). His kitchen looks like it belongs in the back of a restaurant:
Gigi�s Apartment:
Gigi�s apartment is one of the only sets without exposed brick walls. She has a softer, more feminine space, with a bit of a retro feel.
Conor�s Apartment:
Conor (Kevin Connolly) lives in an apartment with plenty of brick that looks like it could be in the same building as Beth�s. All the rooms are open to each other�the bedroom, kitchen, and living area are divided only by partial walls.
Janine�s Townhouse:
Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and her husband Ben (Bradley Cooper) are renovating their townhouse.
After the renovations are final:
The movie was inspired by the nonfiction bestseller He�s Just Not That Into You�a catchphrase made popular in a classic Sex and the City episode (you can see my post about the SatC movie here).
Which of these spaces would you most want to live in?
