Think Like a Man

The film follows four storylines, which each focus on one particular couple. They are titled: • "The Mama's Boy" vs. "The Single Mom" • "The Non-Committer" vs. "The Girl Who Wants the Ring" • "The Dreamer" vs. "The Woman Who Is Her Own Man" • "The Player" vs. "The 90 Day Rule Girl" Each of the women are readers of Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. When the men learn that the women are reliant on Harvey's advice, they try to turn the tables on their mates, which later seems to backfire. ==Cast==

Critical response Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that a major problem with the film is that it takes seriously the advice given in the book it is based upon, commenting that such an approach "might have worked as a screwball comedy or a satire, but can you believe for a moment in characters naive enough to actually live their lives following Steve Harvey's advice? The result is a tiresome exercise that circles at great length through various prefabricated stories defined by the advice each couple needs (or doesn't need)."
