Movie Review: Think Like a Man Too
Back in 2012, I didn't expect that the Movie “Think Like a Man” would be the hit Movie. As the movie is based on Steve Harvey’s kinda-sorta self-help book titled “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,”.
With the cast featuring Movie stars like, Chris Brown as Alex, Gabrielle Union as Kristen, Kevin Hart as Cedric, Meagan Good as Mya, Regina Hall as Candace, Taraji P. Henson as Lauren
Now two years later (2014), we have “Think Like a Man Too,” a sequel that screams “cashing in again.” From the half-heartedly clever spelling of “Too” in the title to the overly familiar Las Vegas setting to the complete breaks in narrative for music-video style interludes, everything about this film smacks of laziness.
With the cast featuring Movie stars like, Kevin Hart as Cedric, Romany Malco as Zeke, Terrence Jenkins as Michael, Michael Ealy as Dominic, Gary Owen as Bennett, Jerry Ferrara as Jeremy, Regina Hall as Candace, Meagan Good as Mya, Taraji P. Henson as Lauren, Gabrielle Union as Kristen, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Tish, La La Anthony as Sonia, Adam Brody as Isaac, David Walton as Terrell, Jenifer Lewis as Loretta
In Think Like A Man Too, we catch up with our four couples (and some of their mutual friends) in Las Vegas, where they have gathered to celebrate the wedding of “Single Mom” Candace (Regina Hall) and “Momma’s Boy” Michael (Terrence J.). Through some awkward miscommunication, fiery little Cedric (Kevin Hart) got the impression that he – not sensible, suave Dominic (Michael Ealy) – was Michael’s best man, and the resulting plan for the bachelor party reflects Cedric’s over-the-top, half-cooked scheming.
However, the ladies plan to turn it up just as loud as the guys; business gal Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) has pulled out all the stops for Candace’s bachelorette dare list, and the girls are not afraid to step on the guys’ good time in order to make sure their party is the best party. However, during the rowdy night in Vegas, it slowly and surely comes to light that everyone’s happy-go-lucky facade is just that – a facade – as guys and gals both realize that the war of bachelor vs. bachelorette party is nothing compared to the real battles they are fighting in their respective relationships.
The cast makes a strong return, this time much more comfortable with their respective characters, as well as with the general group chemistry. The strongest thespians of the bunch are still Michael Ealy (Dominic), Romany Malco (Zeke), Taraji P. Henson and Regina Hall – while Kevin Hart carries the comedy as a one-man show all his own. Gabrielle Union (Kristen) and Jerry Ferrara (Jeremy) feel somewhat marginalized in this follow-up, while Meagan Good (Mya) and Terrence Jenkins (Michael) are noticeably weaker performers than their co-stars – especially noticeable since both their characters get some of the heavier dramatic arcs.
Watch the Trailer here:
Think Like A Man Too is now playing in theaters. It is 106 minutes long and is Rated PG-13 for crude sexual content including references, partial nudity, language and drug material.
Trust me you should watch the movie its funny and Good...
