Critic Reviews

Drastically overlong, burdened by too many stories about too many couples who are too one-dimensional to be relatable.

-Eric D. SniderFull Review

"Think Like a Man" is a surprisingly engaging, entertaining and very funny movie.

-Rafer GuzmanFull Review

The more this alleged romantic comedy begs you to adore it, the more you wish you could block its calls.

-Farran Smith NehmeFull Review

The execution almost overcomes the thinking in "Think Like a Man." Almost.

-Tom LongFull Review

It seeks to rescue contemporary black storytelling from the clutches of men in drag and misogynist moralizing.

-Ann HornadayFull Review

Yes, this movie urges women to "Think Like a Man." But it thinks like an infomercial - and for a pretty old-fashioned product.

-Stephen WhittyFull Review

Pleasantly sitcom-ish - kind of a knowing, urbane variation on the sort thing that would get more earnest treatment from Tyler Perry.

-Bob MondelloFull Review

While using the book as a plot catalyst is certainly not a bad approach to constructing a fictional story from the material, the movie is bogged down from the get-go with too many bits of business and a very lengthy setup.

-Jennie PunterFull Review

Though it is funny - at times, laugh-out-loud funny - this comedy is by and for adults.

-Mick LaSalleFull Review

A running joke is that Mr. Harvey has thrown men under the bus by giving away their secrets. But, gents, if they were secrets they wouldn't be cliches.

-Rachel SaltzFull Review

Even though Think Like a Man espouses something akin to the philosophy in Beyonce's Single Ladies(Put a Ring on It), it makes manipulation more fun than it ought to be.

-Claudia PuigFull Review

I'm not going to claim this is a good movie, in some Platonic-ideal way...

-Andrew O'HehirFull Review

The script ultimately resorts to just counting off comic beats as it creaks through its unfathomable two-hour running time.

-Peter HowellFull Review

"Think Like a Man" becomes as tedious as "Valentine's Day," a movie based on a holiday, or "He's Just Not That Into You," a movie based on putdowns disguised as advice.

-Wesley MorrisFull Review

It wants only to entertain - and it succeeds.

-Carrie RickeyFull Review

[It's] smart, funny and impossibly good-looking.

-Elizabeth WeitzmanFull Review

Think Like A Man isn't the first movie based on a self-help book, but it may be the best.

-Connie OgleFull Review

For all the laughs, Harvey's thesis - that women have to expect more from the arrested-development crowd that make up "the men of this generation" - rings true.

-Roger MooreFull Review

An ensemble piece that packs more easy enjoyment than I was expecting or, even now, care to admit to.

-Richard CorlissFull Review

As romantic comedies based on self-help books go, "Think Like a Man" unfolds pleasantly enough; you know exactly where it's going, but that's probably the case for the book as well.

-Moira MacDonaldFull Review

As cheesy and trite as it comes off from its general outline, the particular pleasures it offers are enjoyable and reasonably consistent.

-Glenn KennyFull Review

One of the more unpromising comedies of the year has turned out ... pretty funny.

-Michael PhillipsFull Review

Anyone who reads advice books about romance has one problem to begin with: bad taste in literature.

-Roger EbertFull Review

You've seen "Think Like a Man" before. In fact, you've seen it dozens of times.

-Barbara VanDenburghFull Review

You have to give "Think Like a Man" credit for not only trying to serve as an alternative to Tyler Perry-style date-night fare, but for even going so far as to make fun of those movies for their soapy conventions.

-Christy LemireFull Review

Enduring a day-long session of couples' therapy is more fun (and flies by faster) than this film...

-Melissa AndersonFull Review

An attractive, game cast helps liven up this handsome but overlong urban rom-com.

-Michael RechtshaffenFull Review

The actors make good company.

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

While the result deserves some credit for finding a creative way to bring the book to life, the overlapping storylines simply aren't compelling enough, despite the best efforts of a game and attractive cast.

-Brian LowryFull Review

Think Like a Man tries to tackle more characters than it can handle, making for a mess of a film that ultimately feels like a two-hour advertisement for Steve Harvey's book.
