Watch Think Like a Man For Free

Great Film overall

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

When I first watched this movie, I believe I took it a bit too seriously, because it's based on an actual book, from an actual man, who seems to think he actually has all the answers. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, and though enjoyable, I found it thoroughly irritating.Years later, I watched it again, because it was playing on TV and I had nothing better to do, and I found it quite enjoyable this time around, funny too. Steve Harvey still continues to be obnoxiously irksome though. I took it far less seriously, and found myself delighted by its ebullience.The ladies are absolutely gorgeous, and are a magnificent ensemble. The guys also come together very well, and the cast as a whole compliment Tim Story's, well...Think Like A Man is an enjoyable RomCom, though it has quite a few bits about it that are really not all that realistic - Steve Harvey Jibba Jabba.My one wish is for it to have not been based on that "book".

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

Tim Story's adaptation of Steve Harvey's bestseller "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" qualifies a good romantic comedy about relationships that is content to stick with the subject matter rather than stray off on a tangent like "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Story and "Friends with Benefits" scenarists Keith Merryman and David A. Newman has made an entertaining date movie that has more substance than most movies and boasts characters who experience change in their lives instead of staying the same. Aspiring chef Dominic (Michael Ealy) falls head over heels in love with stuck-up Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) who prefers men with six-figure salaries. Man-boy Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) discovers that his girlfriend Kristen (Gabrielle Union) wants to upgrade their relationship and renovate their house. Mya (Meagan Good) wants to string along the player of all players, Zeke (Romany Malco) for 90 days before she gives up what she metaphorically refers to as 'the cookie.' Mama's boy Michael (Terrence Jenkins) stops hanging up with his imperious mother so he can date his new girlfriend Candace (Regina Hall) who is a single mom with a clever little boy Duke (Caleel Harris) who knows more than he should for his age. Finally, Cedric (Kevin Hart) is divorcing his wife, Gail (Wendy Williams), but deep down he isn't prepared to give her up. Story alternates this four couples but he never gives them the short-shrift. Although everything turns out splendidly for all four couples involved, the road to happiness and a relationship with pitted with some pretty big potholes. Mostly, the characters are realistic people in realistic situations, and it is easy for audiences to sympathize with them. "Think Like A Man" benefits immeasurably from Steve Harvey's presence, too, as he explains the way things are in a relationship. The filmmakers have the intelligence to never stoop for the wrong humor. Each character is etched with multiple dimensions. My favorite relationship took place between Dominic and Lauren. Of course, Kevin Hart is so hilarious that you want to laugh every time that he opens his mouth.

I have watched and critiqued my fair share of movies and cannot find any reason that this movie is below a 7.5. First, I do not rate comedies above 7.5 because they do not have the "wow" factor that most dramas or suspenseful films have. I will say, Act Like A Woman, Think Like A Man, was 2 hr and 10 minutes long and I wish it were longer; I enjoyed it that much. The cast was an excellent choice and each character played their role perfectly. It was a great combination of comedy, drama, and romance. I would highly recommend seeing this movie. And again, I do not rate comedies above 7.5 so this movie gets my highest rating! If you see it, I promise you won't be disappointed. Shame on STARZ for rating it 2.5 stars. Give it four stars!
