Think Like a Man Too

I went to see "Think Like A Man Too" last night with a friend of mine. I won't lie, I thought it was going to be some stereotyped "black" movie, and the few white guys that were in it would be the butt of the jokes, and worse, that the "nigga" word would be thrown around like I see it, on occasion, between a few brothers on Facebook, and hear, constantly, in conversations around my very diverse apartment neighborhood and overhear among some African American Soldiers. (I hate the use of that word, no matter who says it to whom, and will not watch movies that dialog it. just sayin'.)

But I digress...Instead of the movies that I have attempted to watch, on occasion, that were what I described above, I found, although this movie could classify as a "Chick-Flick," Think Like A Man Too was really, really funny and very tastefully done. Very little cussing and the one "n-word" uttered in the movie is on a phone call and is barely audible.

This is a great funny movie that really does treat everybody right, the way it should be. Kevin Hart kills his role. Excellent movie for everyone. and unlike one of the reviews I read that said "if you are white and a dude you probably won't get it," All I can say to that is, Wrong. :-)

'' Think Like a Man Too '' is the sequel to ' Think Like a Man '.

The movie is a comedy about the battle of the sexes, with the couples going to Las Vegas for a wedding, and holding bachelor and bachelorette parties for their friends, that end up in disaster and many crazy outcomes.

With a star-studded cast, the movie fails, however, to impress, with a messy pace and poor editing, which makes each scene not flow as organically as it should,d and the movie ends up being a random series of events. At least the performances saved the day!

So, overall, five out of ten, as it was a so-so comedy, but there were some enjoyable parts.

Michael (Terrence J) and Candace (Regina Hall) are getting married in Las Vegas. Their friends and family are gathering for some last singles fun. Best man Cedric (Kevin Hart) is desperate to push the guys to go crazy. The girls are trying to get rid of Michael's controlling mother.

This sequel lives off of the charms and the connection of its talented cast. There is nothing new or all that interesting. It does have the great cast and they seem to have fun together. That joy of being together helps keep this movie afloat. The highlight is a strip club and the subsequent jail time. I don't really care about their various melodramas or the wedding. Non of it ever feels that dire. Quite frankly, this movie missed an opportunity to have a fun jailhouse wedding and quickly wrapping up the movie after getting out. This is fine but it may be last call for this group.

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.

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.
