When comedian Steve Harvey released his book, “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man” in 2009 women were in a frenzy snatching the book off shelves everywhere. On the flip side, men were looking at Harvey side-eyed for giving away their most precious secrets to the opposite sex. But in Steve’s defense, if you already haveth it; the book can’t taketh it away!!!

On April 20, 2012, the world will see the adaptation of Steve Harvey’s best seller, ‘Think Like A Man’ in theaters everywhere. The book, as well as the movie takes women inside the mind of a man; as it relates to relationships and love.

“But remember what drives a man; real men do what they have to do to make sure their people are taken care of, clothed, housed, and reasonably satisfied, and if they’re doing anything less than that, they’re not men.” Steve Harvey

THE MOVIE PREMIERE

On Monday, April 2, 2012, the media was invited to Regal Theaters 16 at Atlantic Station for a special screening of “Think Like A Man”. With an all-star cast (Steve Harvey, Jenifer Lewis, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy, Meagan Good, Gabrielle Union, Gary Owen, Romany Malco, Regina Hall, Jerry Ferrara) and many special appearances (Kelly Rowland, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, La La Anthony), the movie was funny, interested, and extremely entertaining.

In a screenplay adaptation written by: Keith Merryman and David A. Newman; Produced by Rainforest Films’ Will Packer and Rob Hardy, the film is a parallel to the book. Steve Harvey gives women an insight on the mind of men. In the movie, we see examples through the relationships of the main characters.

Some of the issues touched on were: The 90-Day Rule (Meagan Good); The Player (Romany Malco); How to spot a Mama’s Boy (Terrence J); When to introduce your child to your new man (Regina Hall); My man’s still a child (Gabrielle Union/Jerry Ferrara); and the everso famous, I don’t need a man; I’m independent. Unless he’s rich (Taraji P. Henson/Michael Ealy). These issues made for a gumbo of laughter and “Oh no he/she didn’t!!!” moments. The entire cast had their moments and were extremely entertaining. However, my favorite characters had to be Taraji P. Henson, Romany Malco and Meagan Good.
