Watch Two Can Play That Game For Free

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Just saw this movie on Family Channel last night. Interesting that it was on Family, but oh well. Not a deep movie, really just one plot - romance. Lighthearted and fun. The acting was pretty good, the scenes moved well - I liked the narrative from Shante, speaking to the audience. Not familiar with these actors, but thought they all did a good job.One cliché - the buxom, feisty girlfriend. She was good, and clichés do exist. Not too much detail about the girlfriends and their lives, they seemed more like props. But this wasn't a deep movie with multiple plots. They served their purpose well. Oh, another cliché - the Chinese man delivering an order. But that's a reality, too.There were some great lines. Some good writing. Good job, Mark Brown. One line that stands out: "You play more games than the NBA." (something similar) Wish I could remember the others! Hope this writer is writing more.I don't watch a lot of movies ... just stumbled upon this one. It was good to have a movie with all the principals being African-American. I'm not African-American (Caucasian), so I can't relate to some nuances. But romance is romance, regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. We've all been there!!!

Some may think this movie is like another male bashing movie. But it bashes males and females, when love turns into a battle of the sexes. The story starts with Shante Smith(Vivica A. Fox) a beautiful advertising executive who feels she has the perfect life and perfect boyfriend named Keith Fenton(Morris Chestnut) a handsome Lawyer. Shante becomes the envy of her friends. Until one night, while out with her girlfriends, Shante catches Keith dancing with another women. Keith working late, and was invited to go out to eat by a co worker, who just happened to be an attractive female. Although Keith claims nothing happened and in a way pleads for forgiviness. Shante starts punishing him with a 10 day plan, to get him back in line. For a while her plan is working. Then her plan starts going awry, when Keith starts turning the tables, Thanks to his friend Tony(Anthony Anderson) who helps Keith see right through her plans. A fun romantic comedy, Vivica A. Fox and Morris Chestnut give charming performances, but its Anthony Anderson who steals the picture has Tony, who seems to know more about women then Morris Chestnut's character. He has the funniest one liners in this film. Gabrielle Union is also good has Connie,the rumored tramp.

I didn't know what to expect when I rented "Two Can Play That Game," but it turned out to be the best random DVD I have rented in a long time. The writer/director Mark Brown really studied his classic romantic comedies, and it pays off. The story moved quickly. The film was consistently funny. There was sexual tension. The 4th Wall technique reminded me of "The Seven Year Itch," and it made the movie. Brown also had a classy, visual sense. Vivica A. Fox, Morris Chesnut, and Anthony Anderson were uniformly excellent. I never would have guessed I would have liked this film as much as I have. I have already seen it three times.

Two Can Play That Game Morris Chestnut/Vivica A. Fox/Anthony AndersonI recently rented this disappointing movie from first time writer/director Mark Brown. I make it a general practice to rent on DVD. Once watching the movie, I then review the Director's commentary. I couldn't get through the second scene of the commentary. Mr. Brown is definitely new to the game of film making.While the movie was well casted, Morris Chestnut, Anthony Anderson, Monique, Bobby Brown, Gabriella Union (who was miss-casted) and others, Anthony Anderson saved the movie. Keith (Morris Chestnut) is a successful Attorney and Anthony Anderson is his colleague and friend. Anthony's character coaches Keith in dealing with a `smarter than the average woman'.The idea of a trimmed down and toned Vivica A. Fox speaking directly into the camera throughout the entire movie, turned me off. While the idea of this successful Black woman, living large and in charge, the epitome of respect from her girlfriends is appealing – the character falls real short. She spends the entire movie giving advice as if it came from that stupid book, `The Rules' yet at the end (when she realizes the big plan may have backfired - she flips the script and punks out) To be honest I was very disappointed with the ending.Mr. Brown's vision was to show the games we play in love. The games played in this movie are some of the oldest tricks in the book and ones I would think a professional woman wouldn't need to play. A disappointing first effort by Mr. Brown. I can say this much, it was much better than `How To Be a Player'.
