Movie Reviews: Think Like a Man
Despite its peculiar provenance, Think Like a Man is receiving a fare share of positive reviews.
Carrie Rickey predicts in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
“it will entertain women and amuse men.”
Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel suggests that the movie is all about:
“funny people in funny situations delivering funny lines with … zippy timing.”
And Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune, taking note of the fact that the movie is based on a self-help book written by Steve Harvey, writes:
“Considering its source, though, one of the more unpromising comedies of the year has turned out … pretty funny.”
But some critics suggest that the movie amounts to little more than an infomercial for Harvey’s book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.
Rachel Saltz in the New York Times writes that the movie:
“isn’t just based on the book, it’s also a two-hour advertisement for it.”
Ron Batzdorff in the New York Daily News comments that it often:
“feels as though we’re stuck inside an infomercial Harvey made about himself.”
And Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times comments:
“This movie must be one of the greatest examples of product placement in history.”
