Think Like a Man Synopsis: <\/strong>Four friends conspire to turn the tables on their women when they discover the ladies have been using Steve Harvey’s relationship advice against them.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Based on the book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man<\/em> by Steve Harvey, Think Like a Man<\/em> revolves around a group of friends and their respective love interests. In accordance with the book, the four men are labeled as The Mama’s Boy, The Non-Committer, The Dreamer, and The Player, while their women have their own archetypes: The Single Mom, The Girl Who Wants the Ring, The Woman Who Is Her Own Man, and The 90 Day Rule Girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlucky in love or simply wanting more for themselves, the women pick up Steve Harvey’s book and use his rules to try and tame the men in their lives. Kevin Hart<\/strong> and Greg Owen<\/strong> also show up as the newly divorced and happily married guys, providing the movie’s funnier jokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed Think Like a Man<\/em> infinitely better than Think Like A Man Too<\/a><\/em>. The cast remains charming with some solid, comedic performances, but it also feels more natural, even though the couples are actually taking relationship advice from Steve Harvey<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Tim Story did an excellent job of maintaining a nice balance between all four love stories. I never felt like any of them suffered from a lack of development, which is so easy to do when focusing on more than one or two relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the sequel, which tries to fit as many zany shenanigans into its runtime as possible, this movie focuses on the characters and their blossoming romances, which I definitely appreciated. Yes, it’s insanely predictable. Yes, every couple seems to break up around the same time and then find their way back together with the expected grand gestures. However, that’s okay with me because the splits felt authentic enough, not necessarily due to an overblown, minor miscommunication. Even a mediocre romantic comedy can win me over if it gives me some semblance of believability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think Like A Man<\/em> is standard rom-com fodder, but honestly, it’s an entertaining movie I would recommend watching. Skip the sequel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
