Just left Think Like A Man. I did not read the book but the concept created a buzz. The book written by Steve Harvey was number one on the best seller list. I predict that interest in the book will rekindle after
this weekend.
The movie is funny and pointed in it's delivery. Kevin Hart's character has the best lines and is humorous every time he is in a scene.
The other stars in the movie intertwine 4 relationships where the women have expectations that are not being met and use the advice from the book to bring about changes in the men they seeing.
The women range from CEO to single working mom. The men range from unemployed, players and "mama boy".
It is a typical battle of the sexes that the women gain ground but lose it when the men attempt to outsmart them by reading the book. The story lines all conveniently come together as the movie winds up.
Got to remember that it's a movie. It reminds you of a comedic version of Crash with the characters (male and female) having relationships as friends.
Shout out to Megan Good and Romany Malco for their chemistry. Taraji Henson and Micheal Ealy provide the steamiest on screen moments.
The soundtrack includes Jennifer Hudson and John Legend. It is very good and will be released on
April 30th. I recommend a buy for the soundtrack and a "go" see the movie. It will create conversation.
I don't think it was terrible, because it's definitely watchable thanks to it's good cast, but there are just so many moments that feel schmaltzy and contrived mainly because these characters are so thin and barely any development goes into them. Maybe everyone except for Kevin Hart. He's the man. Good review. Glad to finally see a film beat The Hunger Games in the box office though. It was starting to get a little annoying seeing that film #1 every week.
