SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
kosmasp But 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
KineticSeoul This is a ensemble romantic comedy, without the comedy or real romance. Everything just seemed so forced and rushed to the point, it just took me out of the whole experience. I just can't see how people in their mid twenties can enjoy a movie such as this. I could understand teens that have altered realities, but this is too much. I don't necessary agree with a lot of the insight and perception on males and females. But at least it tried, and to a certain extent I could somewhat understand it. Even if the one dimensional characters ruins it. But with the running time, I guess they did what they thought was right. The climax was super rushed and just seem to happen out of nowhere. Overall, I thought this movie was pretentious and annoying. And almost not watchable, but since I didn't fall asleep while watching this, I give it a 3.5/10. Well at least it's better than "Grown Ups".3.5/10
G K I'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.
MLDinTN This 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.
