Think Like a Man (2012)

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Directed by: Tim Story

Starring: Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good

Running time: 123 minutes

A group of women are using Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, to get control over their relationship with their men. Their plan backfires when the men realize what is going on and decide to pretend like they give the women what they want so they can finally get them in the sack. Like it is bound to happen when you play games with affairs of the heart, problems ensue.

This movie is filled with clichés and stereotypes about the types of men and women you can find out there. The mama’s boy and the single mom, the man afraid to commit and the girl who wants the ring, the dreamer and the woman who is her own man or the player and the 90 days rule girl.  There are not too many nuances to be found here. Still, this romantic comedy manages to be funny in some spots, before getting a little cheesy in the end.

Some light-hearted entertainment for those slow nights where one does not want to think too hard about what he is watching on the tube.
