At first I didn't want to watch, but having lots of spare time made me watch it to kill the time. It turned out very nice, I ended with laughter, tears, and fell in love to this movie. At the beginning they talk a lot which a little bit boring, but it is the matter of process because this movie contains some stories which connected each others. Lots of things we can learn about relationships from this movie. Worth to watch and the soundtracks are good, too.

Tim Story's adaptation of Steve Harvey's bestseller "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" qualifies a good romantic comedy about relationships that is content to stick with the subject matter rather than stray off on a tangent like "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Story and "Friends with Benefits" scenarists Keith Merryman and David A. Newman has made an entertaining date movie that has more substance than most movies and boasts characters who experience change in their lives instead of staying the same. Aspiring chef Dominic (Michael Ealy) falls head over heels in love with stuck-up Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) who prefers men with six-figure salaries. Man-boy Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) discovers that his girlfriend Kristen (Gabrielle Union) wants to upgrade their relationship and renovate their house. Mya (Meagan Good) wants to string along the player of all players, Zeke (Romany Malco) for 90 days before she gives up what she metaphorically refers to as 'the cookie.' Mama's boy Michael (Terrence Jenkins) stops hanging up with his imperious mother so he can date his new girlfriend Candace (Regina Hall) who is a single mom with a clever little boy Duke (Caleel Harris) who knows more than he should for his age. Finally, Cedric (Kevin Hart) is divorcing his wife, Gail (Wendy Williams), but deep down he isn't prepared to give her up. Story alternates this four couples but he never gives them the short-shrift. Although everything turns out splendidly for all four couples involved, the road to happiness and a relationship with pitted with some pretty big potholes. Mostly, the characters are realistic people in realistic situations, and it is easy for audiences to sympathize with them. "Think Like A Man" benefits immeasurably from Steve Harvey's presence, too, as he explains the way things are in a relationship. The filmmakers have the intelligence to never stoop for the wrong humor. Each character is etched with multiple dimensions. My favorite relationship took place between Dominic and Lauren. Of course, Kevin Hart is so hilarious that you want to laugh every time that he opens his mouth.

Zeke (Romany Malco) is the Player. Michael (Terrence Jenkins) is the Mamma's Boy. Dominic (Michael Ealy) is the Dreamer. Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) is the Non-Committer. Four women, the 90 Day Rule Girl Mya (Meagan Good), the Single Mom Candace (Regina Hall), Lauren (Taraji P. Henson), the Girl who wants the Ring Kristen (Gabrielle Union) have trouble with men until they discover the relationship book written by Steve Harvey. Rounding out the group is the Happily Married Man Bennett (Gary Owen). Cedric (Kevin Hart) is the Happier Divorced Guy.Steve Harvey's take on relationships can be very goal oriented. It doesn't always lend itself to be a comedy. However there is enough comedy in the relationships and that's why they got Kevin Hart to spice things up. The best thing about this is the great actors in the cast. I like everybody and their chemistry. I love the fun chemistry between guys. Kevin Hart is hilarious as the idiot. The only relationship I'm not feeling is Jerry Ferrara and Gabrielle Union. They don't fit. I don't see Gabrielle as that girl and Jerry is still Turtle to me. In general, it has some great laughs but it is a little bit long.
