Out tomorrow is the film spawn of the book that came from the Sex in the City one-liner: He Just Not That Into You. Early reviews of the flick, which stars Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson and Ginny Goodwin, are lukewarm but we will still be checking it out since we agree with the philosophy behind the phrase. Whether we're talking spades or bad dates, we prefer the unvarnished and ungarnished versions.

About Us
- My Very Worst Date
- You have to kiss a frog or fifteen before you get to your prince/ss. That part of the bargain you accept, but when the amphibian turns out to be a deviant of sorts, stiffs you with the bill or herpes...My Very Worst Date is a commiseration of the moments when the sweet possibilities of romance turn into a sour struggle to get the hell out of the situation. We strongly believe that airing our (and other peoples) courtship disasters provides comedy, comfort and cautionary tales to bear in mind the next time you say 'yes' to drinks with a mysterious stranger.

I intend on seeing the movie with my husband. Why? Because reading this book changed my life...I know, melodramatic much? But really, when I read this book (in less than 2 days) everything made sense and I was able to forgive myself for stupid boys' indiscrestions. I learned to stop wasting time on the ones who weren't worth it (which I know knew how to judge immediately instead of when I was invested and it was too late) and learned to be open to guys I wouldn't normally consider for one reason or another but was clearly putting in the effort and was Into me. Because of the latter, I gave my now hubby a chance. It was smooth sailing from the get-go and we'll be married for a year in March. So, as lame as it sounds - - this book changed my life. Though, I've read the script of the movie and I don't expect the film to have nearly the same effect on others.
