Review of Think Like a Man (2012) by Jazz H — 09 Sep 2012
Just a really enjoyable romantic comedy. So after Steve Harvey wrote the relationship advice book entitled "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man", it becomes an instant bestseller, giving women the edge against men.
This focuses on four relationships where these new tactics come into play. I didn't have any expectations going into this, and right off the bat I was surprised to see something that immediately caught me off guard: African-American actors and actresses in non-stereotypical roles.
It's refreshing to see, and it won me over pretty quickly. These are all talented actors/comedians who know how to land a joke, and while there are certainly funnier movies out there, I was getting very consistent laughs of considerable volume.
Even though Romany Malco (probably best known from his role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin) gives what I feel is the standout performance here, there really isn't a weak performance in the bunch, and this is easily the funniest Kevin Hart has ever been.
All of this has even more support from the fact that there is lots of fiery chemistry between each couple, and you do buy that these people want to be together. I really had a good time watching this, and if I were to have a complaint, it would be that the juggling of storylines is less seamless in the last act, but even that nitpick didn't stand in the way of my enjoyment.
This was really a huge surprise for me, and I really can't see people not liking this.
