Think Like a Man – review

Share
- The week's second reference to the Battle of Gettysburg (see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) comes in this quasi-narrative feature film based on a self-help book that – unlike generic stablemates Eat Pray Love or What to Expect When You're Expecting – doesn't actually make you want to kill yourself. A formulaic spin-off of Steve Harvey's bestseller peddling hackneyed gender-war cliches and laughable (but not in a good way) "insights", this nonetheless benefits from a likable cast who lend much-needed zing, almost overcoming the fatuousness of the script.
