Think Like a Man Too

2014 seems to be a good year for Sequels to out due the originals.

Then again, I didn't like Think Like a Man to begin with. The film is no different than The Transformers movie, It's made to sell a product, in this case a book. Because of this, the movie about the war of the sexes always leans more towards women, who the self help book is for, whereas if the roles were reverse it would have been a differently laid out plot altogether.

This is possibly why I like this movie better, because the product is not there to sell, the movie becomes a more fairer battle of the sexes. The Story of the ensemble cast coming to Vegas for a Wedding which starts with a Bachelor and Bachelorette party in which each sex tries to prove who can party harder starts off on a level playing field with out the interference of the book.

Although, like the first film you do have to deal with the interference of Mr. Kevin Hart. He was just so funny, that the men already won the battle before it started. I don't know if he could not be the center of Hilarious, even if he tried.

With that said, the movie is a very stereotypical last hooray set in Vegas, which was too by the numbers for me. I've seen it done just as formulated but a little funnier. Kevin hart is great, but I feel like I did not get more from the characters this time around, and it was not a great enough of a party to forgive that.

Overall, still better than the first,

I never saw the first Think Like a Man(2012), but I enjoyed the sequel, If you are expecting The Hangover(2009) meets Bridesmaid(2011) from what you saw in the trailers, Well it kind of is, but it does not quite go there. This film is only for a entertaining ride, and for anybody just to sit back and forget about your problems.

Kevin Hart was better here then he was in About Last Night, any scenes he is in, he milks it for all it worth. But the rest of the cast are pretty memorable also, the men and ladies really bring it all here. The Las Vegas scene is also good, and becomes it's own character. There are also some good dramatic moments. See this movie with friends, and I hope you have good time.

Useless waste of my time and money. There were maybe three spots that were funny. Most of it was old regurgitated jokes. Black people complain about 'token blacks' and then do EXACTLY the same thing with a white guy. Couple of places I was bored to the point of yawning.

Kevin Hart failed so badly that I was surprised when I heard this made a lot of money in the first weekend.

The first one was hilarious and I laughed all the way through. I barely was able to stay in the theater for this one.

They should have spent more money on the script and more time.

This movie was so bad that I have run outta things to say about it but I have to fill space because for reasons unknown the webmaster thinks a review has to be at least a certain length.

Think Like a Man Too (2014) is the sequel to Think Like a Man (2012) and it was directed by Tim Story with the ensemble cast from that first movie back and it was just very mediocre.

Positives for Think Like a Man Too (2014): The returning ensemble cast does a great job with their performances and they look like they're having fun in this movie. The various scenarios with the men and women are doing their own thing in Las Vegas is certainly interesting. I also liked some of the dramatic moments between characters in the third act. And finally, this movie is good for some background noise while you're doing other things.

Negatives for Think Like a Man Too (2014): There isn't much of a story to this movie and it doesn't really advance any of the characters in any meaningful ways. You have Adam Brody who pretty much does nothing and if you waste Adam Brody, then you have a serious problem. And finally, there is nothing in this movie to justify its own existence aside from the studio wanting franchise with this ensemble cast and to make money.

Overall, Think Like a Man Too (2014) is a very mediocre sequel to an average romantic comedy movie that didn't do a whole lot for me and this sequel justifies that statement for me.

The first one was really great and you can see how excited everyone is coming back to the characters and relationships they loved to play. The end result is not as good as the first one, but you can still have fun. There is a bit of an evolution (though the "mom" still seems to have the same issues, but gets a different kind of story-line/character that will serve her right ...), but nothing too major. The character traits are still visible and some of the issues have gone further (J. Ferrara and Unions characters).

There is fun to be had, although the script is not as good and witty as the first one. Still if you loved the characters in the first one, you should be able to go on that second ride with them. Still not much in the depth department, but I didn't expect that to happen here anyway
