one of my absolute favorites!
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreBut in a fun romantic kind of way. It's not only about suspending your disbelief, but just rolling with it. The movie does not serve anything else than what you should expect from a title like that. To be honest, I thought it'd be worse, but in this case you can feel how much fun the actors had on set. Everyone is clicking and even relationships that seem to have issues, have their strong moments.You can see why there are problems and obviously we do get clichés too. Even the voice over does work (most of the time). Of course you shouldn't have issues with Kevin Hart (I have friends who think he's annoying) or anyone else for that matter. If you can dig them and like seeing people going at it (not literally, no explicit love scenes to make that clear, and the movie is far too light and does not need them) - this movie can be a fun ride for you. Don't expect too much depth of course
View MoreI'm glad I decided to watch Think Like A Man. It may be the funniest film of 2012 and the funniest romantic comedy in a long time. The cast, dominated by black actors, often works wonders. Comedian Steve Harvey decided to bring his 2009 book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man to the big screen. And it was a good decision. The setup is silly because the women in the film take Harvey's suggestions to heart but, surprisingly, it works very well. At its heart it's just a story about four couples who take a funny long time to realize they're in love. Their desire to win and outsmart is what complicates matters. The screenplay by Keith Marryman and David A. Newman is stale at times but the actors take it to another level with Tim Story's direction. Michael Ealy's "the Dreamer" and Terrence J's "the Mama's Boy" are both likable despite their flaws. Meagan Good's "the 90 Day Rule Girl" is funny and good-looking. Taraji P. Henson's "the Woman Who Is Her Own Man" is cool but loving when she needs to be. Romany Malco and Regina Hall are also funny and engaging. But, really, there isn't a weak link in the cast. Even Kevin Hart's loudmouthed Cedric isn't overplayed. Think Like A Man would have been a terrific film if the screenplay was better. Still, it's good as it is. The laughs keep on coming. By the end I was eager to watch it again. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that a sequel, Think Like A Man Too, will be released in 2014, with the cast from the first film reprising their roles. Yes, it's an easy decision for me. I easily recommend Think Like A Man. Harvey, the filmmakers and the cast all did a good job.
View MoreYes, it's clichéd and predictable but that's not why you watch Think Like a Man. Like other movies of a similar mold such as, 'The Brothers' and 'The Best Man,' Tim Story's feature won't win any Oscar's nor will it break box office numbers but it will make you laugh and keep you entertained throughout. Chances are you may even know and relate to some of the characters.With a recognisable cast which play their roles well, combined with eye-candy (Megan Good) for both sexes along with a wealth of chuckles, Think Like a Man is a well executed film sure to leave you with a warm and content feeling. It's one that is worth watching either alone or even on a date .well, maybe.
View MoreThis movie is about the guys turning the table on the girls, getting caught, then the makeup. So, a group of female friends are taking advice from a relationship book on how to act around a certain guy. Like is he a moma's boy, does he have ambition, does he have a career, the 90 day rule. They go on dates and are puzzles to the guys till the guys discover Steve Harvey's book and realize the girls are reading it and there are chapters based on each of their situations. So the guys start taking the advice of the book and doing what the book says. The girls think they have met their dream guys until they find out the guys are reading the book too. Of course, all of the couples think they really like each other and smooth everything over at the end.FINAL VERDICT: OK , best for a girls night flick.
