djcarter-926-246180 A great movie for entertainment purposes, you obviously dont have to follow the relationship guidelines that she talks about in the movie. Although, it was all for fun and laughs, some of the tips and advice she gives is actually worth listening to.

vincentlynch-moonoi This is a neat little romantic comedy that is based on the battle of the sexes when the man sorta steps out a bit one night and there is plenty of plotting to see who suffers the consequences. What really works here is a technique that is not always done well in films -- the main character "narrating" the story line.Vivica Fox plays the professional woman who gives the audience advice on how to keep a man (attorney Morris Chestnut) at heel. Chestnut, however, is being coached by his colleague (Anthony Anderson) as to how to take charge of the situation. As you might guess, they do reconcile, but how they get to that point is all the fun.Vivica A. Fox, who I can take or leave depending on the production, does very nicely here. Morris Chestnut displays a real talent for light comedy here; frankly, he's one of my favorites, although I usually think of him more in terms of dramas. A real plus is the best friend Anthony Anderson...funny as heck here, but also at his pudgiest! It ain't Shakespeare, but it's a fun and entertaining film that's all in good taste.

sychonic Here's a romantic comedy that doesn't devolve into utter stupidity or becomed mired in inanity. It moves along at a nice pace, and though it's basically a silly movie, that's entirely forgivable since it never takes itself seriously. The plot line is wafer thin in that it tracks the breakup of two affluent African Americans, but what is very funny is the strategizing back and forth; Vivica Fox of course has, or thinks she has, all the right steps in playing this game, but Anthony Anderson as the adviser to Fox's boyfriend, helps him counter a number of her moves. The fact that Fox's character speaks directly to the character works as a plot device, it moves things along and really gives insights into the character that, inasmuch as she is always scheming whether with her boyfriends or girlfriends, is the only way we'd get that info. The fact that this is a "black" movie is almost entirely irrelevant--there are a couple of scenes where Anderson and Chestnut are going back and forth with terms like "preach it" from what sounds like a black church meeting, but that just adds to the charm, it avoids all those awful ghetto cliches that seem to infuse Martin Lawrence style movies. The movie is kind of a female version of a terrible Eddie Murphy vehicle from a decade ago called "Boomerang" about a womanizing ad executive, who has certain tactics when dealing with women. But it avoids the nasty aspects and plain stupidity of that movie. This one isn't going to win any awards, but its a pleasant time, and everyone knows how what's going to happen in the end, the fun is watching the two go back and forth with their silly tactics--one of the funnier scenes involves some half baked philosophizing about "transferrence of energy." This one is worth the time.

George Parker In "Two Can Play That Game", an upwardly mobile Afro-Am professional woman, Shante (Fox), lays out the "rules" for playing the mating game as she takes the audience step by step, talking to the camera, through her own foible fraught relationship one rule at a time. Meanwhile her befuddled boyfriend (Chestnut) gets his own dose of rules and countermeasures from a know-it-all best friend (Anderson). The 95% comedy in this lively little romp comes from the interaction of the pair of protagonists with their kookie friends. The 5% romance comes at the end when the flick finally gets real. Fun stuff which gracefully straddles the black/white divide and avoids "ghetto", this flick will likely appeal most to females, particularly African-American females. (C+)
