Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Such a frustrating disappointment
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It's been two years since we last saw the characters of 'Think Like A Man', which was based off of Steve Harvey's book 'Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man'. The first film followed a group of guys and girls falling in love with one another with all of the ups and downs of a relationship. It was funny, charming, and worth the time. Director Tim Story is back in the director's chair again for this second outing. Statistically and historically, if a film on a modest budget does well, more than likely there will be a sequel.'Think Like A Man' was made for under $12 million and ended up grossing almost $100 million at the box office. It seemed like it was the right decision to go ahead with the sequel, but in order to have a sequel, you need to have a thought out story, which unfortunately for this sequel, didn't have. It seemed like 'Think Like A Man Too' was just thrown together over a drunken night and a reason for everyone to get together in Las Vegas to have a fun few weeks. I was so disappointed in this sequel, because I enjoyed the first one so much, but this this sequel was more about Kevin Hart doing his slap-stick routine for 90-minutes than showing an entertaining story.The entire gang is back in again, this time all arriving in Las Vegas for the wedding of Michael (Terrence Jenkins) and Candace (Regina Hall). But the night before the wedding, the guys and girls split off and go all out for their respective bachelor/bachelorette parties, which plays out more like a 'Hangover' film throughout, complete with fights, strip clubs, and jail. You'd think that Jenkins would have a big role here, since this is his wedding in the film, but he receives the least amount of screen time, as I said above, its the Kevin Hart show with him dancing in his underwear, yelling at everyone, and poking fun at his height for the millionth time.Story also decided to put an actual music video in the middle of the film, where the girls sing 'Poison' by Bell Biv Devoe at their bachelorette party, complete with the music video credits and logo in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. There was just no need other than to waste time. But that's what the entire film seemed like, a big waste of time. Sure it was fun to see everyone on screen playing off one another and enjoying themselves, and everyone turns in fun and great performances, but when Story tries to create dramatic tension, it goes nowhere and rushes by to fast as to get to the next scene with Hart making a fool of himself.And of course, just like the first film, we had to check in with every couple for a nice pretty pink bow to wrap up everything nicely. It was all too forced, which made it unfunny. I really wanted to like this sequel, but 'Think Like A Man Too' fell off the cliff and lost the big bet. And yes, Adam Brody is in this film, but he is only in it for maybe less than two minutes and has one or two lines of dialogue. Why give him top billing?
This movie right here brought back some jazz baby. This movie gave the fun in funky. I just love the idea of the beautiful land astonishing setting. I love the idea of having all of these amazing actors. Just a combination of all of them give viewers a thrill. This was a good idea and developed based of a wonderfully made script. If you can please make a third one. This movie gave me life and had you emotionally attached. You com from laughing to happy to sad and then to happy again. This movie has your emotions rolling all over the place. Basically this movie is an emotional roller and I recommend it to anyone that would love a good laugh.
The first "Think like a man" movie was great, I loved it. It was a movie that I had no expectation for and turned out to be one of the funniest movies I watched that year. When I saw there was a sequel my first thought was "Why?" There was no need whatsoever to update us on these characters. This was made purely for money reasons and the story line is boring and over done.I'm guessing that when the actors signed on to make the first film there was something in their contracts that they had to appear in a sequel if one were to be made because most of these actors are A-list actors and this movie was pointless.Did I laugh? Sure. Some of the dialogue and physical comedy were funny but the movie as a whole was boring. Don't waste your time with this sequel.
Think Like A Man Too 4/10- Everyone knows Kevin Hart has really burst into the spot-light over the past year. His brand of humor appeals to many crowds which is why so many like his comedy, including myself. Since Think Like A Man got me nearly on the floor laughing last year, I had high expectations for the sequel. Sadly my expectations were not met, and I left the theater still wanting something more. Although Think Like A Man Too utilizes all of Kevin Hart's comedic talents, the film is still not saved from a under-developed plot and dragged- on scenes. Also, I don't know how else to say this, but in a lot of the scenes, it is painfully obvious that the other members of the cast are not as funny as Kevin Hart. Although this sequel has a knew twist to it, the movie still follows the "battle of the sexes" story much like the first one which starts to get old after a while. The original used this well, the new one, not so much. Instead of producing comedy from all of the dramatic scenes, what follows most of the dramatic scenes is really just more drama which a couple jokes thrown in. The storyline goes off-track so much about the personal lives of the characters and it takes away from the attention from the main plot: the bachelor party. I honestly thought a Kevin Hart movie that revolves around a bachelor party would be drop dead hilarious, but they barely even talk about the bachelor party. This is probably the main problem I have with the movie, but I am not saying it wasn't entertaining.As I said earlier, they used Kevin Hart in this movie as much as they could and this move may have saved the film. Kevin Hart is probably the main reason why I had a little bit of fun watching the Think Like A Man sequel. I am not saying the other actors did not contribute to the movie, I thought that Romany Malco, Regina Hall, and Gabrielle Union increased the level of their performances from the first film. The only time I thought they used Las Vegas to their advantage was in the gambling scenes which are in my opinion the funniest scenes. If they used more of the Las Vegas-Bachelor party concept to their advantage, I have no doubt that it would have been funnier than the original. I am not saying that this movie is not funny because it is still a decent comedy. I recommend though you see this film only if you are a die-hard Kevin Hart fan, otherwise I would wait till it comes out on DVD.For more of my reviews, go to my website at reviewsbywest.com
