Really Surprised!
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreI love it! I love it! I love it!!!I happened to watch this movie a couple years ago, right after a huuuge fight with my bf (we're getting married soon, yeeeeey!). And this movie was really helpful. After an hour of desperate crying, it made me laugh! It's fun, with original jokes (no stupid toilet humor), it also has a moment of wisdom, and some actual relationship advises!!! Another great aspect of the movie is Jayson Jorge, who is gorgeous, i really enjoyed his baritone, HOT HOT HOT. I can't agree with such a low credit for the movie. Seriously??? People tend to give 7 and 8 to "big" movies, and 3 - 4 to comedies, which is wrong!!! It's a great comedy, it deserves to be evaluated adequately. My baby hates the movie, (i guess that's for the part where one of the characters says "A man is a dog, ... and a dog can be trained" - but we don't need to take that seriously!!!!)It's one of my favorite movies)))
View MoreGranted, as a retired aging hippie, I'm not this movie's target audience. It's not that I didn't like it, it's that I put me to sleep after about ten minutes (even the first ten minutes had me checking the clock to see how much more there was to endure) and I have no desire to go back and try to re-watch. There were plenty of beautiful people, nice houses, fast cars, everything nice to watch in an escapist romantic comedy. And I like Vivica A. Fox, but she couldn't carry this movie for me. This might be a plot problem. I watched "Someone Like You" yesterday, another movie about the war of the sexes. That was dumb too. These movies prove one of my pet theories: if the writing isn't there, get up and go home or in this case, nap on.
View MoreEntertaining As I like to say, this movie is very entertaining. It is not as great as Rainforest Classics "Stomp the Yard", "the Gospel" or "This Christmas", but I only asked to be entertained when I sat down to watch this film. I was glad to see a film that cast the hilarious Tony Rock, Vivica A. Fox, Jason Winston George, and Jazsmin Lewis all in one film together. I am a fan of Fox, Rock and George although this proved to be a big role for George to carry at this point in his career. Especially under this director whom I must say is over his head with this job. By the way, his movie stands on its own independent of "Two Can Play...". If you want to get in the Rainforest spirit, get your hands on the aforementioned "Stomp the Yard" Stomp the Yard (Widescreen Edition) and "The Gospel" The Gospel (Special Edition).But despite any shortcomings of the film not being a masterpiece of cinema, it was well worth price paid as an entertaining comedy that I enjoyed. I was pleasantly surprised to see the film acting debut of Hot 107.9 Atlanta's Rashan Ali in the movie in a supporting role as one of Jazmin Lewis' character's best friends. Rashan has a bright spirit in the radio studio and as an Atlanta Hawks announcer and she does well in this movie. I'll be looking for her in upcoming projects.Vivica does her regular "thing" in this movie with grand style and her fans will be pleased to see her go through the paces.Another odd but pleasant surprise for me was the prominent placement of Upscale Magazine, one of my favorite magazines. I've been reading that magazine almost every month for many years and it was funny to see it on the big screen as almost a co-star of the movie. Big ups to the Affluent Lifestyle! If you only buy one film every 2 years, this may not be the one for you. But if you like funny, entertaining movies and you like the work of any of the cast members featured, this movie is an easy choice. at the end of the day, this is a movie that is now a part of my collection right next to its predecessor, "Two Can Play That Game". "Hollywood" Will Packer and "Big Time" Bernard Bronner put their stamp on it so I had to check it out. I know I'm on point because I got mine through Amazon Prime but both of my daughters each bought one this week too, one at Wal-Mart and the other at Best Buy.danceability-1, Amsterdam Holland
View More2 can play that game was a good movie with a wonderful cast & and a beautiful, touching ending. it felt so good to see a gorgeous black couple come together so sweetly after going through so many changes (i almost cried...corny, i know). but of course, we can't have a movie with a black couple madly in love ending up together for good on the loose can we? now whenever i watch 2 can play i have to try & dispel the reality of how shante & keith's relationship actually ends up. i heard vivica fought hard so that keith would come across as a strong and sensitive male role model. why did you give up the fight vivica. you could have doled out advice in this tacky 3 can play sequel with keith by your side. way to ruin a happy ending!!
