Just as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melark were planning to celebrate a fourth week as the number one movie in America, Tim Story’s Think Like A Man interrupted and took home the crown with a $33 million opening weekend beating out The Hunger games.
Think Like A Man is a film adaptation of comedian Steve Harvey’s bestselling book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man.
The film helms an all-star cast of actors.
Comedian Kevin Hart, blue-eyed ladies man Michael Ealy, and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson are amongst the cast.
While some movie goers may be tired of the cliché romantic comedies, Think Like A Man proves to be a pretty well-rounded film.
The men of the film consist of TV personality, Terrance J as “The Mama’s Boy,” actor Michael Ealy as “The Dreamer,” actor Romany Malco as “The Player,” actor Jerry Ferrara a.k.a. Turtle from the hit show Entourage as “The Non-Committer”, actor Gary Owen as “The Happily Married Man”, and superstar comedian Kevin Hart as “The Divorced Guy”.
The ladies of the film consist of actress Meagan Good as the “90 Day Rule Girl,” Scary Movie favorite Regina Hall as “The Single Mother,” Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson as the “The Woman Who Is Her Own Man,” and actress Gabrielle Union as “The Woman Who Wants The Ring.”
Think Like A Man is full of clichés that most romantic comedies have.
Boy meets girl, they date, he messes up, and he wins her back at the end.
With that said, the film is full of eye candy that makes the movie easy to look at.
Kevin Hart keeps the movie flowing with his quick wit and hilarious actions.
Steve Harvey makes a few appearances in the movie.
His appearances are neither entertaining nor boring.
Although, they are necessary to the understanding of his book and what the characters of the book are going through.
Think Like A Man portrays a variety of characteristics and personalities of every race and sex.
IF you love romantic comedies, you’ll love Think Like A Man.
There are great moments and the film is very funny.
It isn’t a must see, but If you’re not doing anything, take a date to the movies and check it out.
