Chique Critique: Think Like a Man

Amanda Verge

This by far has to be the best comedy that I have seen in years. Think Like a Man is based off of Steve Harvey's #1 New York Times Best Seller Book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a man: What men really think about love, relationships, intimacy and commitment. This movie had it all, from a good locking cast of black actors (Chris Brown, Michael Ealy, Romany Malco, Steve Harvey) and actresses (Taraji P Henson, Meagan Goode, Gabrielle Union) to a killer wardrobe, fancy cars and an overall wicked soundtrack. There are so many couples and so many different types of relationships being covered in this movie it is sure to grab and hold your attention for the entire duration of the film. And if that is not enough we can always refer back to the many pieces of eye candy plastered all over this film.

This movie would appeals to an audience ages eighteen to sixty both men and women as both sexes would want to see the movie for different purposes. Men may want to see it to hear exactly what Steve Harvey was telling the general audience about men and love and women would want to see it to see what was the inside opinion on men and love. I definitely wanted to see the movie to know what category of women I fell in to and also the category of men that my significant other fell in to. So as I said everyone had their own reasons behind going to see the movie even after maybe reading the book.

The movie had perfect comedic timing, it addressed more serious issues in a fun way (interracial relationships and sex without commitment) and most importantly brought the female audience into the mind of the man and gave us information that we would not have gotten anywhere else.

A great comedy to see with a bunch of your girl friends or a bunch of your guy friends. This is one movie in particular that will be talked about for years and years to come

Think Like a Man the movie showed the relationships between men and women. It basically portrays what women go through to find the right guy or the "perfect" guy and also what men also do to find that special woman. It does in fact show the different types relationships that men and women have and also how some mothers behave towards potential daughter in laws. The lesson learnt from this movie is that following instructions from a book does not help in a relationship.

Act like a lady think like a man was a humorous film adaptation to the book of the same name by steve harvey. It uses the same concepts that harvey explained in his book .From the story line we see the games that men and women play and it portrayed different types of women as having expectations despite social standing,or social background as well as men as oblivious creatures.the lessons in the film were great perspectives of male female relationships and interactions and the characters were all interesting. the scenes were extremely funny and the movie was well put together.Both men and women will enjoy this movie.

Joamella

This movie was very light and funny and is relatable across all cultures, races, and class. It was so good to see a leading black cast that is not negatively stereotyped. And this movie did a great job conveying issues men and women face, without bashing the opposite sex.

I've seen this movie twice and I would not mind seeing it again. I really thought it was going to be another "bashing" movie on men and women, but it wasn't at all! It really gave a good view from both sides and I loved how it was set in the real world of dating today! The most important above it all was that it was funny!

Furthermore the various types of relationship arrangements are all somewhat relevant, in the movie it was to easy recognise our own relationships and personalities in at least one of the scenarios or characters.

Think like a man is what I consider a free Dr. Phil No Maury/Jerry/Bold and Beautiful relationship guide. Teen girls new to the dating world and women who have been around the block and down street can both learn so much from it and be a profit to both equally. What also makes this movie a complete success is it is not only targeted at the ladies or only useful to women because men have so much to learn from it too.

I 100% enjoyed and loved the characters in this film from the minor ones such as La La aka Sonia who is as empty as a water bottle after a football sweat to major character like Jenifer Lewis aka Loretta the mother-in-law no women ever wants to meet or have to deal with.

I almost died when they revealed who this gracious Gail was. Her bossy demanding character really intrigued me and I was dying to know which woman in her right mind would marry a man so annoying self centred ego trip cheap&a big jerk as Cedric aka Kevin Hart. Having Wendy Williams play that part was a bonus to the movie.

I laughed so hard until I cried when Jerry Ferrara aka Jeremy proposed to Gabrielle Union aka Kristen. "I want to buy you a house. [Step up my man] No I want to by you this house. [Back the Beep up] What I call a hold up/ wait a minute/moment". I also loved the part when Romany Malco aka Zeke (who in my opinion is extremely sexy too fine for his own good what I call a gift to womankind hmm hmm hmm please marry me-Gorgeous) drove off when Mya told him she did not go out with men who did not open up doors for her. If I was in her shoes I would have felt so old and shocked for those two-three seconds he took before he came back. That scene I think was my favourite scene because I loved that Zeke had a sense of humour. I watched this movie 4 times and laughed the next three times like I did when I first took it in. This film was too hilarious.

P.S. Loved her role
