Four friends conspire to turn the tables on their women when they discover the ladies have been using Steve Harvey's relationship advice against them.
The talent in front of the camera (Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union) help detract from faults behind it but any film that gives Curb Your Enthusiasm’s J.B. Smoove little more than a walk-on needs more thought.
The film overestimates the appeal of its limited laughs. Someone needs to think like an editor.
More certain of its tone than Tyler Perry's melodramatic rom-coms, it's a good-hearted comedy of modern manners that provides a chuckle or two.
Self-help guru Steve Harvey appears to be self-helping himself all the way to the bank with Think Like a Man, a glossy two-hour book commercial lightly disguised as a romantic comedy.
A 'how to' manual, on film.
The cast isn't bad, and in the case of Romany Malco, the story's smooth operator, is all-out funny.
Benefits from a likable cast who lend much-needed zing, almost overcoming the fatuousness of the script. Almost.
Race and the romcom: is Think Like a Man realistic or racist?
