Think Like a Man Too

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.

'' 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.

"I'm gonna give you the perfect weekend. Nothing is going to go wrong." The gang from the first movie are all back but this time they are in Vegas for the wedding of Michael and Candace. Cedric (Hart) is the best man and wants everything to go perfect so he rents a hotel room, reserves a party bus and has the entire night planned out. Things for the ladies are planned out and everything is starting off smooth and easy. Things quickly start to unravel when the hotel room turns out to be more than expected, two of them get job offers and Cedric starts to lose more money then he wanted to but nothing compares to what Miss Loretta has planned. I have said many times that how much you like a movie depends about 80% on expectations. If you think a movie will be garbage and it wasn't you say you like it. If you are super excited about seeing it and it wasn't as good as you thought you say it wasn't that good. This movie is in the third classification...exactly what you expect. I remember seeing the first one and thought it was pretty funny but didn't need a sequel. I do have to say though that since it was was I expected it wasn't terrible. I may be in the minority in this but I do not think that Kevin Hart is all that funny. He seems to try to hard and just yells a lot. I know a lot of people like him and is the reason that many people will watch this but for me the movie would have been better without him. The movie would be moving along smooth and begin to develop the plot then Kevin Hart would jump in screaming and slow the movie down. Almost all of his scenes seemed to distract from the flow of the movie. If you liked the first one and are a fan of the Why Did I Get Married series than you will most likely like this one. Overall, exactly what I was expecting. I thought it was OK but not really a sequel that was needed and would have been better without Kevin Hart. I give it a B-.

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'll admit it: I wasn't particularly excited about "Think Like a Man Too." Sequels often feel like cash grabs, rehashing the same old plot points with a slightly different coat of paint. But this one surprised me. It's more than just a continuation of the original; it's a film that stands on its own, offering a fresh take on the romantic comedy genre.

The film follows our favorite crew of friends as they navigate the complexities of relationships, this time with a focus on marriage and commitment. While the plot may be predictable, the performances are what truly elevate the film. Kevin Hart delivers his usual brand of humor, but there's a newfound depth to his character that makes him more relatable than ever. The rest of the cast also shines, bringing their unique personalities to the table and creating a believable dynamic.

One of the things I appreciated most about this film was its portrayal of Black relationships. It's a refreshing change from the stereotypical depictions often seen in Hollywood. The characters are complex, flawed, and ultimately relatable, making it easy to root for their happiness.

Of course, there are a few missteps along the way. Some of the humor feels a bit forced, and the pacing can be uneven. But overall, "Think Like a Man Too" is a solid sequel that will leave you smiling. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best relationships are the ones that stand the test of time.
