So can the 'player' be tamed by the girl who keeps her 'cookie' on lock down for at least 90 days? Can the single mom get the 'mama's boy' to cut the emotional umbilical cord he shares with his overbearing, over nurturing mother (played pitch perfect by Jennifer Lewis)? And what happens when the fellas realize that they've been 'betrayed' by Steve Harvey and then use the book against the ladies like a sports team with knowledge of the opposing teams plays. Acting on the advice of the book, the women manipulate the men into becoming the type of man they each want and getting the relationships they desire. That is until the women discover and read Steve Harvey's book 'Think Like A Man, Act Like A Woman'. For the most part these guys are blissfully ignorant of the dissatisfaction that the significant others in their lives silently suffer through. The plot revolves around the love lives and relationships of six male friends who fall into very specific roles the player, the mamas boy, the dreamer, the non-commiter, the happily married man and the happy divorcée. There are plenty of laughs interspersed through out romantic conflicts that are resolved without any significant twists or surprises.

This quality film falls more in line with Hollywood's traditional romantic comedy formula rather than Tyler Perry's 'play adapted for film' approach to movie making. I mean conventional as in 'not a Madea' movie. Now I realize that the description 'conventional' may come across as negative but that's not my intention entirely. That song choice serves as a perfect theme for this conventional romantic comedy that chronicles the timeless war of the sexes. Anyone familiar with the song knows the true message of the song is in the lyrics 'but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl'.

Based off the Steve Harvey bestseller, the film 'Think Like A Man'opens with the legendary sound of James Brown singing 'It's A Mans World'.
