The Book
He's Just Not That into You is a self-improvement book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo that was published in 2004 and later adapted into a film by the same name in 2009. It was a New York Times bestseller and was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The Film
This Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story arcs deals with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior. Various characters navigate the complexities of relationships and dating, often misunderstanding each other's intentions.
Key Differences
The book is a self-help guide focused on dating advice, while the film is a fictional romantic comedy with interwoven stories. The film introduces multiple characters and storylines not present in the book. The tone of the film is more lighthearted and comedic compared to the direct, practical advice style of the book.
Our Verdict
Read the book firstBecause the film takes significant creative liberties and shifts from the book's self-help format to a fictional narrative, it is recommended to read the book first for the original advice and perspective. The movie serves more as entertainment inspired by the book's themes.
