Think Like A Man (Movie)

First off, it's good to get back into the blogging bit. I've been off for over a week and now I'm ready to do more blog commentary. There has been so much hype surrounding Think Like A Man that I had to go see it. The movie didn't disappoint as it came in #1 this weekend at $33 million. You had an All-Star cast in Michael Ealy, Terrence J, Kevin Hart, Taraji Henson and Steve Harvey. All of them did their thing. It's good to have a black comedy debut at #1 because it's not often that black romantic comedies come out on top. What I liked about the movie is that it was based on Steve Harvey's book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. You had the mama's boy, the overly independent, professional woman, single mother and the player. The funny thing is that many people can relate to the movie as many of the scenarios play out in most relationships. I liked how all the couples came together and squashed their differences. The concept was on point because in order for a woman to have a successful relationship with a man, she must be able to think like one. A woman has to get deep into a man's psyche and find out how he thinks, what he feels, what his outlook is, etc. Once she starts seeing the relationship from his eyes, she will have a better understanding of who he is as a person and will be able to better meet his requirements. Yes, the book is geared towards women but men can also benefit from it as well. I know how men think because I'm one. A woman gains insight about men from her father, uncles, brother(s), male cousins and her guy friends. Steve Harvey did pretty good for his first movie, I look forward to more movies from him especially if they're going to be blockbusters like this one was.
