Critics Consensus

In Think Like a Man, an otherwise standard rom-com is partially elevated by a committed -- and attractive -- cast, resulting in a funny take on modern romance.

A solid, comic date movie and surprisingly romantic.

Benefits from a likable cast who lend much-needed zing, almost overcoming the fatuousness of the script. Almost.

As comfort-blanket romcoms go, it is the rare one that will not bring you out in a rash.

2.5/4.0

Think Like a Man ultimately points out the weakness in Harvey's source material and the importance of hiring just the right screenwriter.

Think Like A Man is Tim Story's love letter to laughter, love. . . and Culver City.

Think Like a Man works, largely because it features a huge cast that is both talented and charming. This movie is a lot of fun, even if it is rather predictable.

It's 6 or so couples that use Steve Harvey's book to manipulate their way into relationships. Decently funny - narration by Kevin Hart.

I'm not sure if I should've been insulted or taking notes. What a group of different love stories stuffed into one film

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
