So both men and women are provided a roadmap to help traverse the unknown landscape that being in love can be. The men find out that the women in their lives have all been reading this book and are now able to counter the strategies that it suggests. The book upon which this film is based was geared towards women and helping them figure out the men in their lives but this film manages to provide insight into both sexes. I obviously didn’t agree but the debate it sparked was fun and interesting and further added to our enjoyment of the film. I remember when I first watched this film, it was with my girlfriend at the time and she thought I fit into one of the abovementioned five categories. Each of these categories comes with a set of challenges and the women are forced to turn to Steve Harvey’s book to learn how to overcome these challenges and build lasting relationships. For instance Michael is a “mama’s boy” while Zeke is a “player”. Each of the lead characters is placed into a broad category depending on their relationship style. This film is a great date movie because of the insight it provides into the world of dating. Finally Cedric (Kevin Hart) is looking to cut loose now that his divorce is finalised but still finds himself butting heads with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Zeke (Romany Malco) who is only looking for a good time finds himself frustrated when his lady – Mya (Meagan Good – tells him that his ‘good time’ will only come after 90 days. Man-child Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) is forced out of puberty when his long-term girlfriend Kristen (Gabrielle Union) starts demanding a serious commitment from him. Michael (Terrence J) has to find a balance between keeping his new girlfirned, Candance (Regina Hall), and his over-bearing mother happy. ![]() Henson) – a corporate titan looking for a man who’s bank balance matches her own. Dominic (Michael Ealy) is having trouble living up to the expectations of Lauren (Taraji P. Okay, basic plot: A group of five male friends – Cedric, Dominic, Michael, Jeremy, Zeke – suddenly find themselves at war with the respective women in their lives. I still think Steve is great and love that his book – Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man – inspired such an entertaining movie. Apparently Steve spilled a bunch of secrets that only men were meant to know and now women have the upperhand in the game of love. Now I say messiah, most men would say ‘traitor’. I think he’s a genuinely funny guy and has been something of a messiah to women who were struggling in the romance department. My YouTube history is filled with clips from his talk show and Family Feud. I’m personally a huge fan of Steve Harvey.
