Think like Kevin Hart

Earning an estimated $33 million, the black rom-com with little mainstream buzz topped the box office this past weekend. “Think Like a Man” was witty and hilarious, and few moments passed between outbursts of laughter from the audience.

The film follows the flawed dating lives of six singles who use Steve Harvey’s self-help book, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,” as their dating bible.

The audience delights in watching the plan fail, proving there are no real rules in love.

In his first standout role, Kevin Hart was consistently funny without being over the top. He anchors the ensemble cast as a recently divorced friend. He has been through the hell of dating and settling down and is always there to give his own sage advice.

What sets the movie apart from other rom-coms is its brand of relatable, down-to-earth people. It plays on single-life stereotypes while staying conversational and light.
