Alarm bells were ringing just from the title alone but thanks to my pointless habit of watching every new film that debuts on Sky Premiere I had to give it a try. What followed was an excruciatingly unfunny two hour (two looooong hours) infomercial masquerading as a romantic-comedy. Based on comedian Steve Harley’s own self-help book, Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man, it’s a table turning film where women learn the secrets of what make men tick and how to get the upperhand in the relationship, and by men I mean stupid petulant men-children.
Think Like a Man has the unusual distinction of being offensive to both sexes. Normally modern romantic-comedies talk down to the women portraying them…

I'm pretty sure Think Like a Man has a story. Well, I'm like 60% sure there was a story. I just can't recall it for some reason. There was at least a point to it all. Probably. Or... maybe this was just an over-achieving self-help video? Am I supposed to be better at dating now? If I get anything less than Michael Ealy with my new skills to unthink my stupid female thinking, I want my money back.
My super convincing list of reasons why I don't give a shit and this movie is the best:
• Michael Ealy's eyes
• Nonsense about being able to relate to this shit or something
• Meagan Goode's got me questioning my sexuality
• MICHAEL EALY SHIRTLESS
• Conrad from Weeds
• Michael Ealy smiled once and I felt lightheaded
• I want Taraji P. Henson's haircutMichael Ealy is in this movie, in case you didn't already get that.

Taking the romantic comedy and "battles of the sexes" formula and blending them nicely together to create a surprisingly good and quite funny film, richly in part to Hart, that crossed multiple characters trying to figure out and unintentionally finding love, all thanks to a book. Though in many ways predictable and a typical “date night” film, it still offered some great elements that made it stand out and worthy of a recommendation.

Meagan Good.

This is one of those films I'd never go see on my own or as my choice, seeing as it's not an art house film, French import, smart comedy, martial arts flick, cinematographer's extravaganza or Oscar-caliber drama.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is seriously funny. If you like goofy, physical humor and slapstick, you'll find this hilarious. (If you prefer subtle, refined humor with nuances, forget it.)
I might be going too far out on a limb, but I believe anyone who is amused by "ethnic" humor will enjoy this film. (By ethnic humor, I mean movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Kung Fu Hustle," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and any Tyler Perry movie.)…

For some reason, I've really wanted to see this film ever since it came out Stateside. (I'm a sucker for emsemble comedy-dramas, sue me.) A limited, unsuccessful theatrical run in the UK followed, never reaching my local, so twelve months of waiting for the DVD to drop in price later, I picked up the disc for £6 on Amazon. "Finally", I thought. "Hope it's worth the wait!"
It wasn't, really, but it was basically a decent movie. If you like the genre, you'll enjoy it. There's a solid cast on good form, here. If you don't like the genre, well, the above anecdote will probably entertain you more fulfillingly.

Yksinäiset sielut etsivät kuumeisesti sitä oikeaa. Mimmit noudattavat tiettyä deittailu-kaavaa, miehet heittää peliin omansa. Tulee ongelmia. Sydämet itkee.
Siirappisuus on viety aivan uudelle tasolle. Kaikkien aikojen lässyttävin romcom. Mieluummin ottaa kaksi tuntia turpaan.

Clearly I only watched this film because of Michael Ealy.

A pretty entertaining film but that's about all you'll get from it is pure entertainment. I found Kevin Hart to be really annoying and unfunny in this.

For a rainy day or a stoned evening.

Funny and romantic

This is the first to enter my diary that was heavily influenced by somebody else (girlfriend) for me to watch. It's not as terrible as I thought it would be and I did do a couple of lol's but overall it's far too cheesy and hopefully something I will never have to watch again. It's fine for a one off date movie.

Someone drank "Newcastle Brown Ale", the ale of my hometown in this film and I still hated it. Need I say more!
