Well, she’s living with Jeremy, her beau of nine years, but their home looks like a booth at Comic-Con and she fears Jeremy will never outgrow this geeky frat boy stage. Mya, not quite sure what she wants, does know she doesn’t want to jump into bed with the first man she meets. Candace is a hard-working single mom with a son who loves her and a nursing career of which she’s proud, but she wants a man again. On the other hand, our girls are their own worst enemies when it comes to getting what they want that is, until they read Harvey’s book. He had a good thing going with his wife Gail, but believing that being a frat boy for life more fulfilling than a lifelong marriage, he lost the wife, lost the house, lost the money and is now awaiting his final divorce papers while trying to convince himself he loves the single life, hanging with the boys and flopping at Zeke’s fine bachelor pad. Zeke is quite possibly the king of the “”wham, bam, thank you man” date while Michael is tied so tightly to his mama’s apron strings I expect him to die of strangulation. Jeremy likes things just fine the way they are with Kristen, his girlfriend of nine years. Dominic dreams of owning his own restaurant and leading a quiet and fulfilling life. Bonding over basketball, this macho quintet are the perfect stereotypes of Harvey’s theory. And, of course, depending on what your archetype is can be a help or a hindrance when finding the perfect mate and getting what you want.ĭominic, Zeke, Michael, Jeremy and Cedric are lifelong friends. We have The Dreamer, The Player, The 90-Day Rule Girl, The Woman Who Is Her Own Man, Mama’s Boys, The Ring Girl, The Non-Committer, The Single Mom, etc. Men and woman are basically defined by very distinct character traits. And this is exactly what director Tim Story gives us with THINK LIKE A MAN – a funny, funny film filled with heart and laughter.īased on Steve Harvey’s best-selling comedic advice book “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man”, we are presented with multiple intertwining stories of coupledom that serve as examples to support the theories espoused by Harvey, with the difference being a heartfelt cohesive story as opposed to stand alone chapters in a book. While I may not be a Steve Harvey fan per se, I am a fan of all things funny, especially when funny comes in the form of a great ensemble cast, well told organically unfolding intertwining stories and characters, and all packaged as a gem of a film shot in, of all places, the Heart of Screenland – Culver City.
