Think Like A Man

Based on the self help book by Steve Harvey; Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man, the film can be seen more as a comedic role play than your classic book to film adaptation. Happily for us all, they picked a beautiful crop of actors to help demonstrate the range of scenarios that may insure before during and after the book.

Naturally six degrees of separation is bound to come into play somewhere along the lines of this movie, but for now we have a beautiful crop of women who are each having some form of male trouble. For Candace (Regina Hall) She needs man who won't run away kicking and screaming at the sight of her little boy, Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) on the hand is to picky with the specifications she has for her perfect man; successful and acceptant of her career. Enter Steve Harvey and his book that women are using as their Bible to help not only find the right man but also control them. Naturally the men they fall for are far from what they were looking for, they have their own unique blend of issues that lucky Steve Hrvey has predicted and has helpfully outlined how to iron out.

The men sadly are unaware that they are being manipulated, but men always catch on..... Eventually and they turn their women's Bible into a Playbook to counter manoeuvre their no longer subtle ploys. It's either got to be Touchdown or Hallelujah as only one sex can come out on top as the women are busy learning to Think Like A Man and the Men are learning a thing or two when it comes to Acting Like A Lady.

The movie was not only successful in being comedic, but also had an engaging storyline that although you would think it to be quite predicatable and cliche did a good job of still ridding its own unique wave that was definitely helped by having such a relatable cast that included Gabrille Union, Megan Good, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown and Kevin Heart to mention a few.
