JUDGING BY THE TRAILER: 'Think Like A Man'

"THINK LIKE A MAN": Or Turtle.

LOL >>>

The film is called Think Like A Man, and the trailer opens with renowned woman-hospitalizer Chris Brown gleefully skipping out on a girl post-coitus. Ha ha ha ha barf. Thanks, movie, but if that's thinking like a man, er, uh, I'd rather not.

Are you ready for some Adaptation-style mind-freaking? Get this: Think Like A Man is based on Steve Harvey's book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, which appears to be too cliché for comment. BUT! In the world of the film adaptation of Harvey's book, the book actually exists and provides the crux of the movie's conflict. Inception!

Basically, here's the situation: All of the ladies who have been continuously used and fucked-over by every man they've ever met start reading Harvey's relationship advice book, and all hell breaks loose. Suddenly, women become aware that men are the most awful creatures to ever walk this disgusting planet. Their plan is to act even worse than men, because everyone is terrible and dear god why was this movie made?

Of course, men figure out that ladies have been reading that book, and then promptly label Steve Harvey as a "traitor" (which surely must be some weird, internalized guilt on Steve Harvey's part for betraying all that secret men stuff). Their response? Continue the cycle of woman-fearing subterfuge as a means of sleeping with as many randos as possible while avoiding any kind of actual communication that might lead to a greater understanding of the opposite sex and possibly even a fulfilling relationship.

Awesome! Glad we got all that cleared up! What healthy adults we all are! Can I please be excused? I think I have some more Chris Brown puke to work through.

In seven years in Hollywood, Steve Harvey was by far the worst person I met. And I met Jon Peters and David Caruso.

I'm deeply conflicted because I like everyone in the movie (aside from Chris Brown), and the movie tested well in a lot of markets. I feel like it has a lot of potential, but the book didn't have a plot so I'm not sure how this translates into a film. Either way, I did a "Tipsy Book Review" of it on my YouTube channel. It's available here if you care to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxDuNRNj8xU&list=UU3pC_1P11PhzYThH2SnKAcg&feature=plcp
