Think like a Man

The movie Think Like a Man is based on the book Act Like a Lady, Think
Like a Man by Steve Harvey. It´s a romantic comedy movie, It was directed
by Tom Story, written by Keith Marryman and David A. Newman.

This movie was released in the United States in 2012.

The movie tells the life of four copuples, they are all very different couples
but they are all friends. The executive relates to a cook who has no job
opportunities but is a dreamer; a divorced woman with an only male child;
the other couples was with a womanizing man and a sexy woman who
wants a serious relationship and the last wedding couple of her life.

Women follow the advice in Steve Harvey´s bestselling book Act Like a
Lady, Think like a Man to solve problems in their relationships. When men
find that their women are following Harvey´s advice, they try to take
advantage of their partners, which later turns out badly.

I recommend this movie because it has romance and comedy, it is very

funny. It is very related to how we act in real life but how these couples get
together could not really happen. The plot of the first film is how these
couples come together and in the second part it talks about their
relationships. I like the first one.
