This was originally posted on the book review post I did, but I added it as a new post.
Ok, so yesterday I went to see the #1 movie in America Think Like a Man for the second time. It was just as awesome as the first time (I went on opening night when everybody and their momma was at the theatre). I have to say I love Kevin Hart, and SPOILER ALERT!!!! :Wendy Williams. Ok on to my thoughts on the movie and other such items.
First, I love a good Black movie. There is just something about an all star Black cast doing some great acting that just takes be back to the 90's and early 2000's where there was an abundance of great Black movies. To this day I love, love, love Brown Sugar, Poetic Justice, Love and Basketball- just to name a few. Now back to Think Like a Man.
It was expertly written and casted. For once in a long time, I really liked Meagan Good in a movie. Gabrielle Union is back in top form. I have loved her in like every movie she's been in. The hilarious black guy from 40 Year Old Virgin, Baby Mama, Blades of Glory, and the TV show Weeds, Romany Malco has finally gotten his breakout starring role and he was awesome. Not to mention great actors like Taraji P. Henson, that's my girl!!, Micheal Ealy- I loved him in For Colored Girls and as Tea Cake in Their Eyes Were Watching God, and SPOILER ALERT!!!! : the return of the ultra fine Morris Chestnut.
The movie seamlessly incorporates the content of the book with the movie content. The movie takes key chapters and content of the book and shows how the men and women (soon to be coupled off) use Steve Harvey's sage advice. The resulting hijinks, hilarity and reality checks make for a great comedy, rom-com, and Black movie. I have already seen it twice and I ready to go see it again!! If you haven't seen it, here is the trailer, enjoy!!
If you saw the movie, read the book or both, tell me what you think!!
