    Based upon Steve Harvey's best selling relationship
    advice book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" focuses on
    six friends who regularly get together to play basketball,
    and usually are discussing about women issues. Jeremy
    (Jerry Ferrara) is a geeky pothead and comic-book

    pop the question to his girlfriend Kristen (Gabrielle Union) of nine years. Zeke (Romany Malco) is a former musician-turned-businessman
    who is great at picking up the ladies but can't commit to a
    long-term relationship, Until he meets Mya (Meagan Goode.
    Michael (Terrence J) is good looking
    and charming, but his mother still has him wrapped around
    her finger and doesn't want to let him go..
    until he meets Candace (Regina Hall). Dominic
    (Michael Ealy) keeps changing career goals, and while he's
    an excellent chef, he hasn't found a way to make it pay...then Lauren
    (Taraji P. Henson) a good friend of Candace's tells her to step in and assist. Last but not least, short, motor mouthed Cedric (Kevin Hart) is in
    the midst of a divorce and can't wait to be free of his wife.
    Nerdy but well-meaning Bennett (Gary Owen) is the only one
    in a functioning relationship, and he gets a lot of grief from
    his buddies for his happy marriage. Lota and loads of laughs all around for those that can relate to the complexities of relationships. See it...it's fun!

    If it acts so-so and it thinks so-so, chances are that the romantic pastiche Think Like a Man is a Just So-So tale. Granted, there are some zingers and a game cast willing to give them some zing. Also, it's based on a bestselling relationship book by once and future King of Comed... read morey Steve Harvey. Keith Merryman and David A. Newman's screenplay, however, doesn't take the Devil-may-care, caution-to-the-wind chances of, say, Woody Allen's Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex* (*but were afraid to ask). Instead, this Man-handled shtick sticks strictly to the Middle of the Road-laughs, loves, and all. Granted, Allen's 1972 was a mixed bag, but at least it had a set of balls.

    In this PG-13-rated romantic comedy, four interconnected fellows (Ealy, Ferrara, Kevin Hart, Terrence Jenkins) find their love lives turned upside down when their respective ladies start reading Steve Harvey's book on relationships, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.

    Ealy, Ferrara, Hart, and Jenkins give it their all, but they're relegated to filling out stereotypical character types (Mama's Boy, Commitment-Phobe, Angrily Divorced, Happily Married, etc.), as are Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Taraji P. Henson, and Gabrielle Union. The men also play basketball together and show up at each other's improbably posh apartments at the opportune moment like a Conk Shell was blown. The movie makes some great points about modern dating life and is likable and harmless enough, but every single one of the inter-related stories and the patchwork quilt itself is standard issue.

    Bottom line: Act like a malady.

    Can't believe I am gonna say this, but this movie was really funny! Worth a look, if you are willing to pay the money to see it.

    Nothing but fun the whole way through! Think Like A Man doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but its gotta be one of the funniest romantic comedies I've watched in a long time. I've been rooting for this movie since before the trailers started airing and I'm so happy f... read moreor its success. This isn't your typical black comedy. The writers and actors managed to make it accessible and relatable for everyone. This film was funny and light throughout and I enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend it. Even people who don't like romantic comedies will enjoy this film simply because of Kevin Hart's presence.

    Think Like a Man was a great movie that deals with relationships that we all see in this day and age, and it pulled it off pretty well. The story was pretty decent and realistic. The characters were easy to relate to, and I'm pretty sure everyone goes through those situations. My... read more only problem with this movie, however, was the ending. It was too cliched and too hollywood, which makes it your typical rom-com. Luckly, at least the humor and talented cast made it entertaining and well-made. I usually don't like romantic films, but this and a few others are worth the time and money. Overall, it's the best film yet.

    I have to admit that I went into this movie expecting not to like it. It surprised me. It was funny & entertaining. It had all the love & romance that women are looking for combined with enough comedy & eye candy to keep men's attention. Steve Harvey finally made a black roma... read morentic comedy that is worth seeing.

Drastically overlong, burdened by too many stories about too many couples who are too one-dimensional to be relatable. Full Review

"Think Like a Man" is a surprisingly engaging, entertaining and very funny movie. Full Review

The more this alleged romantic comedy begs you to adore it, the more you wish you could block its calls. Full Review

The execution almost overcomes the thinking in "Think Like a Man." Almost. Full Review

It seeks to rescue contemporary black storytelling from the clutches of men in drag and misogynist moralizing. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

Yes, this movie urges women to "Think Like a Man." But it thinks like an infomercial - and for a pretty old-fashioned product. Full Review

Pleasantly sitcom-ish - kind of a knowing, urbane variation on the sort thing that would get more earnest treatment from Tyler Perry. Full Review

While using the book as a plot catalyst is certainly not a bad approach to constructing a fictional story from the material, the movie is bogged down from the get-go with too many bits of business and... Full Review

Though it is funny - at times, laugh-out-loud funny - this comedy is by and for adults. Full Review

A running joke is that Mr. Harvey has thrown men under the bus by giving away their secrets. But, gents, if they were secrets they wouldn't be clichés. Full Review
