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

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.

This is an enjoyable movie very similar to the first one. If you have seen the first movie; your opinion of this movie will most likely mirror that of the original.

The movie is set in Las Vegas where Candace and Michael are set to get married. The movie is set around the night before and the pre-wedding parties of both male and female sides.

I think it is fair to say that there is not anything original about what happens at these parties in fact it is pretty dull relative to the other bachelor/bachelorette movies out there. But that's OK as this movie is more about the characters and the relationships between them. The likability of the characters and their interaction with each other is really what keeps you interested for the duration of the movie.

It is the actors second go at playing these roles and they all play their part and give good performances. Although I did feel some of the celebrity cameos were unnecessary and did feel a bit forced.

Overall this movie certainly will not live long in the memory but it does what it is meant to do by providing some light hearted fun for 106 minutes.

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.

Steve Harvey's best selling book gets a second film adaptation with Think Like A Man Too - which basically throws his concept out the window.

Fans of the original will have fun with the sequel Think Like A Man Too – and Archon Cinema Reviews is guilty as charged.

In Think Like A Man audiences got to see the dynamics of men and women in a relationship power struggle, utilizing the ideas and themes in Steve Harvey's best selling novel. In Think Like A Man Too we do not get to see the next step to this power struggle, though it touches upon marriage and having children, and instead just places these memorable characters and couples in Las Vegas for an all out ridiculous-fest.

Sometimes you go to the theater or pop in a DVD because you just want to laugh and have a good time. Think Like A Man and Think Like A Man Too are made just for that experience – they utilize the charisma and chemistry between the actors and actresses to make for an especially fun time.

There were really two ways the sequel to Think Like A Man could have gone: bigger, louder and more ridiculous with an irreverence for the concept OR smartly rethink and reimagine the concept for a funny but smart film that could stand on its own. Think Like A Man Too goes for the former option with lots of scantily clad beautiful men and women, booze, and an uproariously absurd chain of events.

Fans of the film will be happy and pleasantily surprised by the film – because in reality, Think Like A Man Too could have easily been the most abominable cash-cow creation. And the film does try to integrate the original theme into the sequel but it is too fleeting and too scattered to have a serious impact.

I never review movies, but this one was so bad that I'm writing this as soon as I got home. I didn't expect much, but I knew that there were some well known actors in this movie. I found that Kevin Hart's character was so obnoxious and that the only good part of the movie was the 30 seconds piece with Drake.

I NOT recommend this to anyone--even if they're a Kevin Hart fan. If you like comedies like 22 jump street or the neighbors, you would be wasting your time by going to see this movie as it does NOT compare what so ever.

I am so upset with what I saw and I regret seeing it.

"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-.

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.

Romantic comedies, they come so fast that they always seem to blur together in one tangled mess. This past weekend, we got yet another one, in the form of Steve Harvey's latest creation and sequel: Think Like a Man Too. No shock, the predecessor to this movie didn't have much in terms of originality, but still it was an entertaining movie that many found to be enjoyable. So what in the world did this sequel have in store, and was it worth a trip to the theaters? Read on to find out

Let's state the obvious, this flick is a repeat of what we saw a few years ago, though this time with a little more uniformity in the story. Taking the prequels concepts of multiple relationship issues, this tale added a baseline plot element that helped keep the stories tied together, something Vegas seems to have a strong ability of doing. Although the couples start out separated in that classic bachelor/bachelorette party vintage, their stories intertwine in a mess of gossip sessions, where both parties reveal their insecurities. Though amidst these talks is a plethora of scenes that bring you back in to the world of Vegas partying… again. And surprise, surprise, the plot is predictable with everything ending the way you expect it to be, albeit with a little twist thrown in. Now cool your jets, because I know the plot isn't the main thing you come to see, but as a reviewer I have to state not the most original story I've seen.

Let's push past the story and go into the humor next. Once again the comedy focuses on one man to make us laugh, and that is Kevin Hart. Hart still doesn't waver from his style of screaming like a buffoon, trying to steal all the attention with interrupting insults, and over elaborate actions. Fans of his comedy will love Cedric, as his accident prone, bad luck nature gets the gang into some fun gags. It's old, it's beaten into your head, but still funny at times, often due to the response from the other actors. Speaking of the other actors, well they are Kevin's support group, throwing in occasional jokes to give us a break from Hart's idiotic tendencies.. Some of the jokes are funny, and others are just sad, but they've attempted to throw in some balance that I look for in these movies. A majority of the time though, the cast is merely eye candy, with half naked men and women filling the screen and getting responses from both sexes alike. Again something we tend to see in Vegas movies.

When not looking sexy on the screen though, the rest of the cast is playing the drama role. The same issues that hooked many last time remains, but introduces a few new dilemmas to the mix to keep things "interesting." Mother in law issues, wanting kids, parenting, or perhaps putting love before all else, are some of the issues Harvey addresses in the film. Surely one of these stories will grab hold of your interests, my guess between either the marrying couple's issues, or the job over relationship tale as these were the two tales I was interested in. Despite predictability, it's done well and the drama is enough to keep the plot going, but not take away from the good, fun, attitude the comedy provides. The morals and lessons Harvey preaches will touch your hearts, if you have one for love that is.

Overall Think Like a Man Too was not that bad of a sequel. It's a nice balance of comedy and drama, and does a decent job of developing some of the characters to help keep you into the story. Yes, Hart steals most of the show, but it still doesn't bother me too much with how much the cast gets to act in, as opposed to movies like Valentine's Day that fail so much in spreading out their stars. I had a good time with this movie, but I say again it's no academy award winner, which is perfectly fine. One thing I will admit about Harvey's work it's a movie that can be seen as a group or a date night movie, so if looking for one consider this film.

My scores are:

Comedy/Drama: 7.0 Overall: 6.5

When think like a man was released back in 2012 it became a rather surprise hit based off the Steve Harvey book think like a man act like a lady. This time around the gang reunites for the wedding of Michael and Candace in Las Vegas.lets just say that the bachelor party and bachelorette party ensue hilarious results. Kevin hart is still hilarious as the sues cracking Cedric who is separated from his wife Gail played by Wendy Williams and his character pays a rather hilarious homage to a rather popular scene from the Tom cruise movie cocktail. Other story lines involve Lauren and Dominic being dealt with individual career opportunities. Zeke and Maya are eating with his past relationships. Kristen and Jeremy deal with the prospect of becoming parents. Bennett and Trish try to spice up their relationship. I would say a great film overall.

There is zero humor in this movie. I could tell the cast was putting some effort, especially Kevin Hart but everything just sucked. Watching this movie was like watching grown ass people act obnoxious and stupid for an hour and 40 something minutes. Except, it's not funny and there is nothing that stands out about this dumb flick. I really don't want to do a review on this crap except to warn audiences to stay away from this atrocious crap of a movie. It don't even have to want to forget this flick, since it's already so darn forgettable. I will say this is way way worse than "Hangover 2".

1/10

In 2012, Steve Harvey had his best selling book, Think Like a Man adapted to the big screen. Even with it not being proclaimed as "the greatest comedy of the year" and having the most recognizable cast, its portrayal of psychological warfare between genders and their personalities were displayed in an accurate manner and still performed well as result. The intertwining connections between each relationship led to a story with solid drama and comedy, along with tight editing that didn't allow the audience to linger too much on one particular subplot. Thankfully, the majority of these traits are kept in tact, although there are some issues that the first movie did not suffer from.

Starting where the first movie left off, Michael (the mama's boy) from the dude crew decides that he and Candice should get married in Las Vegas. So to make sure everything goes according to plan, he asks Cedric (Kevin Hart) to take care of the event. Once everyone meets up at Las Vegas, the genders break off in their separate groups again decide how they're going to enjoy their Bachelor(ette) party. However, like most stories, nothing goes according to plan. Michael's mom (yes she tags along) begins meddling with both parties, mainly the females. But even with this, Cedric begins to have trouble convincing his male buds that they need to live it up since it'll be a while before they can be a wild and free crew again. Of course Michael, being the one to refuse going to strip clubs and such. Thus the title, "Think Like a Man Too". Get it? You know, like the guys now have to think more like men should? Yeah it's a vague play on the title but I'm pretty sure that was what the concept the producers were going for.

Quite honestly, I'm surprised they didn't just label it as "Think Like a Man 2". How do you extend a story beyond its source material anyway? The whole idea behind the first movie was that it flipped the relationship role playing on its head. Now, it's more like a gimmick; but I digress. Having the guys try do more guy activities is a different thing so kudos to director Tim Story for going that route. The problem however, is that the writing doesn't stick to this particular plot line and develop it with its established characters. Instead, the execution starts off like its predecessor with initial conflicts, abruptly leaves them to loosely weave them in for the meat of the story and then finally crams them in at last minute so that there's a sense of closure. This is a bit disappointing considering how effective the first film was when it was defining its characters with such purpose.

What takes control over these character arc subplots are the improvised bachelor(ette) parties. That and Kevin Hart hogged the camera more this time round. The weird thing is, even with more screen time, Hart's character is lesser defined than before from the last movie. One of his particular subplots were not even finished. Hey Mr. Keith Merryman and David A. Newman, your writing's getting a little sloppy. In exchange for the important developmental arcs that involve romance AND comedy, the party scenes are used only for comedic purposes. Shockingly, even with the more importantly dramatic scenes being rather absent, the comedy still is effective throughout the movie. Kevin Hart again steals the show, but there are also times where various crewmembers get into some strange and funny situations. Some of which, I'm not sure anyone would be able to see from too far away.

The music, once again composed by Christopher Lennertz made a decent score. Although I'm sure it'll never be released to the public, the background music was still easygoing - no main title of course. Peter S. Elliot's editing is still tight and keeps the story going which is good. Christopher Duskin's cinematography is also well shot for its location. Even though many scenes take place inside a building (and some out), the view always looks grandiose and has an upper class feel. Of course, along with the main cast, who perform well, audiences will get to see a slew of other celebrities. Dennis Haysbert, better known as the "Allstate guy" plays a minor role. Who would've thought. Also Adam Brody and David Walton have minor roles too, they should be tolerable although I hope they don't turn out being apart of the main cast. There's enough characters already. All in all, it's a decent sequel, but more character development would've been appreciated.

The writing minimizes a lot of the character development and drama in exchange for humor. Although it works, the product of the title doesn't match its premise. Not that anyone will complain too much. It's still a fun ride.

If you don't like this movie then you obviously have dark or dry humor in which case you shouldn't have watched this! It was all a round hilarious ! I would watch a part 3 if it came out. What happened to all the fun and funny movies like these that were wholesome fun and not about killing and outlandish cruelty! I wish they would play more movies like these. That way everyone could enjoy something other then reality shows that's all engrossed on living a Iife that only the rich can obtain. And making people look at their life like that's the way all lives should be lived when it's not at all!

I just came here to say it: don't listen to bad reviews, both parts are fun entertaining romcom movies.

Both made laugh and shed some tears sometimes, both gave a good vibes by the end.

Just simple movies with some characters that one of them would mostly be matching with yourself or one of your boyz, you don't have to think, there are neither adrenaline rush nor some hot-imaginary-unrealistic action scenes.

There are just two relaxing funny simple movies who don't pretend to be anything else, and yes they nailed both times.

Generally i wasn't disappointed by this sequel, actually i was waiting for it, but at the end of the sequel i thought that i should come here and say it because of all these bad reviews i've red before watching.

Critics reviews, sincerely i find it overly prejudiced.

Since the days of Hangover success, more and more people try to make comedy movies in the Vegas theme. Movies use to make sense but now even when you are half way through it, you don't realize what is the meaning or reason of making this movie. Actors look totally disoriented and disassociated with everything. I watched "Last Vegas" few months back and I was shocked to see a most senior cast wasting their potential and our precious time/money.I hope not see more bad comedies this year, because "Bad Neighbors" was also a big let down.

To me this movie is a flop too and makes you bore to death with loose script, plot and acting.

Comedy films are a genre of film that unfortunately have a lot of liberties taken with it. The genre seems to be victim to studio massacres when it comes to pumping out sequels when originals exceed expectations and budgets. The comedic genre is one that is usually produced for much less than the expensive action-adventure and science fiction films during the summer. So when a small-time movie succeeds, bet the house that a lacklustre sequel is on the way, hence, Think Like A Man Too.

Now whats worse than having a successful comedy film for a studio? Having a huge rising star that can be forcefully placed into any comedy for a studio. Take one of my all time favourite, generation-defining original comedies, American Pie as an example. Pie, which was made in 1999, inspired a slew of sequels, spin-offs without the original cast members, and a whole generation of laughs which have made its way up to audiences in 2012 with American Reunion. Now, there is always a stand-out comedian that steals the show and becomes an icon for a generation of audience members and adolescents, and for the Pie series, that character was undoubtedly Steven Stifler, played outrageously by Seann William Scott. Stifler was such a huge comedic force for the series that, by the time American Wedding came around four years later, the movie might has well been called Stifler: The Movie since the narrative followed the missteps and redemption of the outrageous character more than the actually wedding at hand. Scott, who was thankfully a star for his portrayal as the limitless frat-boy, was quickly exhausted and eventually forgotten by the time the much needed career boosting reunion was announced.

Now with the surprise, box-office champion Think Like A Man, expectations for the comedy were low, which came a surprise when it reigned supreme at the box-office. As the film almost reached $100 million domestically and movies like Ride Along and About Last Night made Kevin Hart a certified box office force to be reckoned with, it seemed like a no-brainer for the movie to inspire a sequel. Not surprisingly, Think Like A Man Too is a loud, obnoxious cinematic overindulgence during a time of movie gluttony at the multiplexes.

There is no denying that Kevin Hart is one of the hardest working comedians in Hollywood today. Earning his place and working over a span of twenty years trying to make it to the top, Hart is a relentless actor who seems to always get the attention on him. In Think Like A Man Too, Hart's annoyance reaches a new high, and that is saying a lot. The ridiculousness of his character are unbelievable, his scenes of unequivocal loyalty are poorly conceived, and his high-stake redemption plot points are subsequently brought to him on a silver-platter by other characters. Think Like A Man Too may not be all Hart's fault, but when it comes down to it; his voice-over throughout the film, face in front of all the marketing and high-ranking comedic position sure makes his the easiest target for one of the worst comedic missteps of the summer.

Not really thinking like anything or taking to heart any of the subject matter from the source material which the film is based off of, Think Like A Man Too finds the group of friends in Las Vegas for Michael (Terrence J) and Candice's (Regina Hall) wedding. And like any good weekend in Vegas, there is always the overbearing presence of having the best wedding ever, but, as per usual, chaos ensues. You would think that any wedding deciding to have their bachelor and bachelorette parties the day before the big day have learned from various pop culture disasters not to do that, but hey, no one said any of these characters were rational.

Taking too many of the wrong cues from the last Hangover film and not enough from the first trend-setting film, Too feels like too much of the rehashed failures of so many other movies before it. Thankfully, the original cast was able to return for a trip to Sin City, but unfortunately, no one is able to make matters any better as the jokes fade fast, the laughs come sporadically and the cast members seem to be cashing in like so many of the extras acting around them.

Michael Ealy, who seems to be Hart's yang when it comes to his presence on the big screen, does what he can with the emotional scenes and heart-wrenching moments of love. Ealy, whose doe- eyes are the perfect balance to the stark comedy Hart offers, does what he can, and that is bringing the ladies to the theatres. The real stand out of the ladies is the always sidelined La La Anthony, who plays Sonia, a friend invited to the bachelorette party but not given any space in the bridal party. Sonia steals so many of the scenes with the girls offering some real-world girl fun and comedy to a movie that seems have its head in the stars.

Director Tim Story, the man behind bringing the action-filled The Fantastic Four to the big screen shows he is able to handle large casts and overwhelming star power on-screen. His earlier film Barbershop showed us his impressive use of subtle black comedy and how effective it can be with the right cast and story, dealing in culturally pivotal locations and with contemporary generational issues with magnum success. Usually, film directors make their big breaks from directing music videos for influential artists. Story, who decides to include a music video type scene in the film, not only butchers a classic Hip-Hop song, but uses outdated, poorly executed and improper use of the effects that make retro music videos so much fun. Watch out for this scene or decide to take a bathroom break here, because this is surely one of the worst in the film.
