ThiefHott Too much of everything
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Python Hyena I Think I Love My Wife (2007): Dir: Chris Rock / Cast: Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, Gina Torres, Steve Buscemi, Edward Herrmann: Here is a romantic comedy that many may relate too about decisions, choices and conflict. It stars Chris Rock as an investment banker whose marriage is going stale and he desires other women. Then Nikki arrives in town and temptation sets in. It follows predictable formula but director Rock pays off with themes regarding marriage and temptation. He also succeeds as a frustrated family man struggling with the possibility of infidelity. He yearns for the forbidden because his wife is too obtainable. Kerry Washington plays the vixen he is fixated on. We know certain things will occur but it is how Rock handles it that make it unique. Gina Torres plays his wife who will give the obvious reaction to Rock's drifting but she plays the role with intelligence and down to earth. Unfortunately Steve Buscemi as a co-worker who cheats on his wife is underused. In one particularly funny sequence he lends Rock Viagra pills resulting in serious consequences. A success for Rock about the importance of honesty in relationships as well as the envy of a new forbidden thrill of outside flings. It proves that he can lend his comedic talents to an insightful theme that indicates his observant view of relationships. Married couples may love this film. Score: 8 ½ / 10
SnoopyStyle Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) is a comfortable middle manager banker. But his marriage is running in problems. He doesn't have sex with his wife Brenda (Gina Torres) anymore, and they are fighting over it. Then a sexy past acquaintance Nikki (Kerry Washington) re-enters in his life and turns it upside down.I am a little shocked that the screenplay was written by Chris Rock, and Louis C.K. I didn't find any of it funny. It may have been too much for Chris Rock to write, direct, and star in this. First Chris Rock look horrible with the stache. The narration is annoying. But more importantly, the morality of this movie is too awkward. Chris and Louis are obviously trying to say something profound about marriage and life. It may have been a great 10 minute stand-up, but it doesn't make good rom-com. I won't spoil the ending, but it's less about love and more about fear.
lastliberal Face it. When a man stops getting what he wants and needs at home, he will start looking elsewhere. The ending to this movie is so unrealistic as to be laughable. There is absolutely no way that it could end up like it did.The movie was funny because you could see Richard (Chris Rock) getting deeper and deeper into trouble. You absolutely knew there was only one way this could end up. I haven't see Rock in a major role since Lethal Weapon 4, and I enjoyed his lines, but, if this is the kind of crap endings that he has in his movies, it will be a long time before I see another.Besides Rock's lines, the best reason to watch this is Kerry Washington. That woman could make the Pope stray, so nor mere mortal man has a chance with her in the room. I was hoping for some She Hate Me action, but it's OK. Just watch her walk is pleasure aplenty.Watch it for the lines, and Kerry Washington, but be prepared for a sucky ending.
maros612 This movie is totally sticking out of the genre. Probably the best appearance of Chris Rock I've seen so far. The story is well written, smart jokes are mastered into details, and the plot is developing fast enough to keep you entertained. Scenes and cast are very well chosen, it's a film of high quality standard. I honestly didn't expect that much of wise entertainment as it offers. And most of all, it feels genuine, not a kind of movie you've seen before and can totally predict. I think I love my wife is an outstanding title which I would recommend to any mature couples or singles. This film wouldn't bore or disappointed you.
