Think of everything you would expect to be in this movie, and that's exactly what you'll get. Entertaining, but predictable, "Two Can Play That Game" is full of some good one-liners, but not good enough to be remembered in years to come -- or even days, for that matter. \nVivica A. Fox stars as Shante with boyfriend Keith (Morris Chestnut). Shante's friends are always having man problems and Shante is the one they all run to for advice. Lucky for her, she claims she has her man under wraps.\nShante soon discovers that she does not and comes up with a 10-day plan to teach her man a lesson. This plan predictably backfires with the help of Keith's best friend Tony (Anthony Anderson). Tony has women figured out just as much as Shante has men figured out. The entire movie goes back and forth between the couple, who are never completely honest with each other and are always playing games, which could be one of the only good things about this movie. It shows the obvious mishaps that occur when you play games in a relationship.\nI found myself laughing while watching this movie, but also rolling my eyes. Once it's discovered that Shante doesn't have power over her man she utters, "Why can't men act right?" Which did not make me wonder why men can't act right, but why Fox can't act in this movie. She constantly talks to the camera, which becomes exceedingly annoying by the end of the movie. \nThe conclusion of this production could also have used some work. Everything comes to a close in the blink of an eye with little resolution to any problem. \nI spent my Sunday afternoon watching this "game" between a man and woman in a relationship, when I would have been more entertained watching the Colts game instead.
