My friend recommended this film and I was doubtfully but after watching it oh I can see where she was coming from this film is so funny and all though it comes across very for woman I think men would also enjoy this film it's funny because it's so relatable and obviously Kevin Hart is just comedy gold anyway. Think Like A Man has a very strong cast with many actors I have been very fond off in a range off different films featuring in it, the film is just enjoyable it's so relatable it's funny there is a character in the film to fit every every person out there. It's simple fun just a film for the girls to watch on a night in maybe even you could persuade your significant other to watch it with you... I did and he enjoyed it!! 7 out of 10 definitely.

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 not a big fan of Kevin Hart, in fact, I don't like his work at allBut this movie is an exception. It could've been better, definitely. As also, I am not a big fan of Steve Harvey either. But he played a good role in this film.The only issue i probably do have is Kevin Hart trying to hard to be funny. But there are a few scenes where Kevin has made me chuckle.I think people only have a problem with this film being a "black movie" but I strongly disagree, I think it's just a normal romantic comedy movie, where majority of the cast is black.Now I liked the cast, excellent choices! No doubt about it.I highly recommend watching it.

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.
