Dreadfully Boring

Blistering performances.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

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

Zeke (Romany Malco) is the Player. Michael (Terrence Jenkins) is the Mamma's Boy. Dominic (Michael Ealy) is the Dreamer. Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) is the Non-Committer. Four women, the 90 Day Rule Girl Mya (Meagan Good), the Single Mom Candace (Regina Hall), Lauren (Taraji P. Henson), the Girl who wants the Ring Kristen (Gabrielle Union) have trouble with men until they discover the relationship book written by Steve Harvey. Rounding out the group is the Happily Married Man Bennett (Gary Owen). Cedric (Kevin Hart) is the Happier Divorced Guy.Steve Harvey's take on relationships can be very goal oriented. It doesn't always lend itself to be a comedy. However there is enough comedy in the relationships and that's why they got Kevin Hart to spice things up. The best thing about this is the great actors in the cast. I like everybody and their chemistry. I love the fun chemistry between guys. Kevin Hart is hilarious as the idiot. The only relationship I'm not feeling is Jerry Ferrara and Gabrielle Union. They don't fit. I don't see Gabrielle as that girl and Jerry is still Turtle to me. In general, it has some great laughs but it is a little bit long.

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.
