Fantastic!
Captivating movie !
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Relationships are a challenge at the best of times, what they are not are games and that's how our leads treat one in this dumb little tale.Vivicia Fox & Morris Chestnut are a couple having all kinds of problems, instead of rectifying them like adults they both play mind games with one another and demonstrate exactly how pathetic some people are when it comes to such things.The very concept is offensive to anyone with 2+ brain cells to rub together and is a fantastic example of why divorce rates are so high if folks really do approach relationships in this way.Also starring Gabrielle Union this sure as hell isn't a romantic comedy due to the lack of romance and absolutely no comedy whatsoever.The Good:Nothing springs to mindThe Bad:Stupid conceptFox is still terribleThings I Learnt From This Movie:People are stupid.....wait.....no already knew that
Just saw this movie on Family Channel last night. Interesting that it was on Family, but oh well. Not a deep movie, really just one plot - romance. Lighthearted and fun. The acting was pretty good, the scenes moved well - I liked the narrative from Shante, speaking to the audience. Not familiar with these actors, but thought they all did a good job.One cliché - the buxom, feisty girlfriend. She was good, and clichés do exist. Not too much detail about the girlfriends and their lives, they seemed more like props. But this wasn't a deep movie with multiple plots. They served their purpose well. Oh, another cliché - the Chinese man delivering an order. But that's a reality, too.There were some great lines. Some good writing. Good job, Mark Brown. One line that stands out: "You play more games than the NBA." (something similar) Wish I could remember the others! Hope this writer is writing more.I don't watch a lot of movies ... just stumbled upon this one. It was good to have a movie with all the principals being African-American. I'm not African-American (Caucasian), so I can't relate to some nuances. But romance is romance, regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. We've all been there!!!
A smart and sassy ad exec, Shante ( Viveca Fox looking very hot ) wants to keep her man, Keith ( Morris Chestnut also looking pretty fine ) in check after he messes up by saying he is "working late" and ends up taking another woman to "their" restaurant for some drinks and dancing. What happens next is Shante's 10 day rules of putting you man in check. We're taken along for hilarious ride as Shante and Keith match wits to see who can get the upper hand. The movie depicts very honestly, and in a humorous way, the games men and women play with each other. Anthony Anderson is a riot as Keith's friend, Tony, who helps Keith battle the very sly Shante at her game. Shante's gal pals, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Mo'Nique, and Tamala Jones, are also pretty funny. Gabrielle Union makes a sexy turn as Shante's nemesis who is after Keith and isn't shy about it. This battle of the sexes romp is hilarious and witty and should just be enjoyed for what it is; a real good time. A great friends get together flick.
of the main character constantly talking to the camera. I thought this was fairly good and funny. I liked Shante's so called rules to getting your man back after breaking up. Some of them seem quite true. FINAL VERDICT: Worth watching if you can catch it on cable. I got a couple of laughs out of it.
