Synopsis
The balance of power in four couples’ relationships is upset when the women start using the advice in Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, to get more of what they want from their men. When the men realize that the women have gotten a hold of their relationship “playbook,” they decide that the best defense is a good offense and come up with a plan to use this information to their advantage.

Chicago Tribune
Think Like a Man is what it is. But its hangout factor is considerable, because the actors' charms are considerable. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Think Like a Man is so busy tracking courtship as if it were a science project that the bite-size love stories lack spontaneity. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
As executed by an appealing ensemble of smooth operators, this adaptation often hits its amusing marks, but with a weighty running time of two hours, it often feels more like a lecture than an intended romp. - 60
Time Out
Surprisingly entertaining, thanks to the cast's collective chemistry and the film's balance of appealing elements for both sides of the gender divide. - 50
Slant Magazine
Unfortunately, like so many women have prophesized regarding the weaker gender's lack of commitment, there's just not enough follow through. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
The result is a tiresome exercise that circles at great length through various prefabricated stories defined by the advice each couple needs (or doesn't need). - 40
Variety
While the result deserves some credit for finding a creative way to bring the book to life, the overlapping storylines simply aren't compelling enough, despite the best efforts of a game and attractive cast. - 40
Village Voice
Enduring a day-long session of couples' therapy is more fun (and flies by faster) than this film.
