After the battle at the box office this weekend, Steve Harvey’s “Think like a man” ended with the top number of $33 million. This should definitely come as no shocker, the best-selling book may have been getting mixed reviews but numbers don’t lie, movie goers flocked. The movie beat “Hunger Games”, who claimed the top spot for a number of consecutive weeks. Question is did “Think like a man” live up to the hype, and is it a must see?IAMTHEINFLUENC was in theatres this weekend for the much anticipated film, ready to critique and report. Right away from the beginning the audience was captivated by the funniest man in the business right now, Kevin Hart. Hart, throughout the entirety of the movie, mixed in his one of a kind punch lines at the perfect time. The theatre was anything but quiet during his antics, which were unexpected but opportune. No other comedic presence would of blended better with this plot and supporting actors, than that of Kevin Hart.
On to the plot, which some critics harshly critiqued, all in all was well done. Director, Tim Story did an excellent job utilizing the talent of his actors and placing the right role for the right actors and actresses. However this wasn’t that hard of a task, with veteran actors like Micheal Ealy, Taraji P. Henson, and Regina Hall. They meshed well with young actors Terrence Jenkins and Chris Brown. As things started to spice up a little, Story’s plot really was able to grab the attention of the viewers by exploiting the dating situations discussed in Harvey’s book. Women were able to relate, and men, despite being spotlighted, were able to get a good laugh. Needless to say it made for great conversation on the car ride home.
____ As if the film didn’t have enough of Hollywood’s elite, it featured some celebrity cameos. Some of the who’s who included singers, Keri Hilson and Kelly Rowland, comedians, Bruce Bruce and Luenell, and professional basketball players, Matt Barnes, Shannon Brown, Ron Artest, Rashad Butler, Darren Collison, and Lisa Leslie. When it was all said and done, Steve Harvey could add successful film follow up to best-selling book, along with his other long list of achievements. This is without question a must see with no disappoints that completely lives up to the hype. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure u do!
