The long awaited DVD release is finally here.
I figured now was as good a time as ever to watch the blockbuster hit, “Think Like a Man”, based on the bestselling self-help book by Steve Harvey, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”. My assessment? “Think Like a Man” was an hour and thirty minutes of watching sexy people be cute, funny, and To be plain, the film is purely for entertainment ONLY. There’s nothing in the film that I could see actually happening in a real life situation. It was completely unrealistic relationship wise. Maybe, I simply refused to have a man tell me how I should behave as a female to get the perfect relationship. That’s not to say it was a bad film. Not at all, actually. The film was entertaining and comedic in almost every opportune moment and a joy to watch. But I wouldn’t call it the self-help film of the year.
My Rating: B
The characters in the movie don’t appear in the book. Rather, the movie us about a group of men and women who all read the book and use it to help their love lives. I can’t assess the amount of self-help this movie could actually give viewers. With such compelling advise as, “Men respect women with standards-get some!”, I think it’s safe to say the flagship book won’t added to any reputable psychologists’ bookshelves. But thankfully, it wasn’t too overdramatic and in your face with lessons about how to have the perfect relationship. In fact, the movie focuses around how trying to follow a prescribed formula for happiness can, and often will, backfire. It was more of a satire of the book it was based off of, which seemed strange to me.
Credit must be given to the great writing and acting in this film. It was a really funny movie with skillfully hidden humor and sarcasm. For example, Michael Ealy, who plays would-be chef Dominic in the film, complains about seeing the movie “For Colored Girls” citing a part where some crazy guy throws his kids out of a window, referring to the role he played as that same crazy guy!
Speaking of Ealy, the star studded cast was a definite distraction from the unrealistic plot. Gorgeous actors and actresses including one of my Favorites, Taraji P. Henson, graced the screen with seemingly good chemistry. Director Tim Story did a fantastic job staying true to the characters’ personalities on and off screen without succumbing to stereotypical portrayals of blacks (except in periodical jest).
At the end of the day, “Think Like a Man” was funny and well put together. It was creative and refreshing in this era of remakes. I’d definitely watch it again.
The “Think Like a Man” DVD is on sale now in the United States.
