I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Great Film overall

Best movie ever!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Ostensibly based on Steve Harvey's best-selling book, this film uses the book more as a springboard for a rather typical battle-of-the-sexes plot that, while rather formulaic, delivers on the charisma and chemistry of its cast. Speaking of the cast, there's a who's who of African-American talent on display, with Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy and Gabrielle Union among the standouts. Everyone here brings their A-game when it came to the comedy, and no one really felt out of place, even the token white guy. Granted, there isn't a whole lot of character development and certain title cards actually play up the stereotype that each person is portraying (originating in Steve Harvey's book), but the actors play their parts very well. Steve Harvey also shows up occasionally to quote his book, essentially providing commentary on some scenes. Of course, the final act has the obligatory melodrama and unbelievably perfect resolution that we've come to expect from this type of movie. It might be sweet, but for me it was a little too formulaic and saccharine. Still, the 90 minutes that preceded it were mostly enjoyable, with lots of great laugh-out-loud moments. This isn't the best romantic comedy in the world, but you could do a whole lot worse. On another note, the soundtrack is great and features a good mix of old-school and modern R&B.

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.

A great ensemble cast of comedic greats, and familiar faces, Think Like A Man is an entertaining, funny film. Based on a 'self help dating' book by Comic Steve Harvey, similar to "The Rules" the plot follows the book's suggestions for women's dating technique in order to get what they want from the men they date.It's predictable, of course, but gripping and amusing. All the actors bring something different, similar to Best Man casting. Comedy Golden Boy du jour Kevin Hart was the main overt comedy of the piece - as the downtrodden soon to be divorced from an overbearing wife character. Gorgeous Meagan Good goes up against the "playboy" character as Mya dating Zeke (Romany Malco), Regina Hall (Friends, Bad Boys II) dates "Commitment-phobe" Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara - Entourage's Turtle), Taraji P Henson plays Lauren the rich business woman, falling for jobless eye candy "dreamer" Michael Ealy. Morris Chestnut also puts in an appearance, playing arrogant high flyer. Jenifer Lewis, a stalwart Black American actress, known for her face and her voice in equal measure plays the Mother to the "Mother's boy" character Terence Jenkins. All the pairs of daters are up against/use the book for their own ends with comic effects.A really fun film. You are quickly involved in the characters - no doubt female watchers would root for the girls, and males the boys - and with the variety of the couples, there is something for everyone to watch, enjoy and relate to. Something for men and women to watch, this isn't like a "chick flick" as it might appear. A very entertaining, laugh out loud watch. I was a little disappointed when it finished.

I remember back quite a long time ago when "How Stella Got Her Groove Back", at work I mentioned that it was very enjoyable movie. My co-workers all said, "But that's a Black movie." To me, and obviously I'm White, a good movie is a good movie. This film -- "Think Like A Man" -- falls in that same category. It has a mostly Black cast, but to me it's just a good movie. Not as good as "Stella", but pretty darned good.As a date movie, it's not a perfect film, however. There are really 3 kinds of scenes in this film -- 1.) where the women are chatting about relationships; 2.) where the men are talking about relationships; and 3.) where the men and women are relating. Where the women are chatting about relationships...well, a little long on dialog. Yes, some dialog is needed in that area, but here it went on too long.The premise of the film is clever -- how different types men conduct their relationships. But it becomes sort of a war of the sexes until the men realize what they have lost. The cast is pretty good. Kevin Hart, a comedian, is pretty for his role as "the happier divorced guy". Terrence J as the "mama's boy" is quite charming. Jerry Ferrara who is still a kid at heart and can't quite make a commitment is very good. Michael Ealy, as "the dreamer", is probably the standout on the male side of the roster. Romany Malco, as "the player" is pretty cool. Steve Harvey as the author about a book about relationships ties the stories together. On the female side of the roster, the standout (isn't she always) is Gabrielle Union...one of the most beautiful women in films. Two guests show up -- unfortunately Chris Brown as an "ex"; he adds nothing to the film other than face recognition. And the always welcome Morris Chestnut.No, you don't need to be Black to enjoy this film. I did...and I'm a 63 year old White guy! A good film is a good film.
