Think Like A Man (2012)


Think Like A Man has a nicely put together cast with all the actors working well to portray the different types of relationships. This film doesn't just show the good things about falling in love, instead it tackles the low points and how hard it is to make a relationship work. It focuses on four different couples that happen to be from the main group of male friends as the action goes back and forth from the the group of men talking to one of the four men and women dating this highlighting the different types of people and diverse range of opinions.

When a book is released by Steve Harvey giving advice to all women on how to date men and get them to eventually commit and fall in love, the books start flying off the shelves with all the women wanting to know what they can do to land a man. It highlights the distinct types of men such as the mommy's boy, the player and the dreamer and what to do to change them. After the guys all discover what is happening and how they are all being played they decide its game on and they will play the girls at their own game. The film has moments of humour but these aren't displayed evenly throughout, which I think it needed as a film like this needs to keep the atmosphere light although it appears to tackle the subject of people's emotions. It turns out that all the men and women actually did genuinely fall for each other causing them to try and win each other back as they all separate at one point. Therefore it is not the most realistic of stories but ends with a happy ending so if your looking for a film with a cheerful tone then this may just be the one for you as it contains both romance and comedy.
