Think Like a Man Too (2014)

Director:

Tim Story

Starring:

Kevin Hart

Gabrielle Union

Wendi McLendon-Covey

Michael Ealy

Plot:

All the couples are back for a wedding in Las Vegas, but plans for a romantic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event.

Review:

Wow this movie is a whole bunch of romantic comedies rolled up into one. It’s like they couldn’t decide which one to do so they just did them all.

Are you looking for a commitmentphobe who learns to commit?

Or maybe you would like to see a wedding ruined because of Bachelor night hijinks?

How about a couple having issues trying to have kids but finally succeeding?

What about a couple that’s gotten boring and finally learns how to liven things up?

 

That isn’t even all the situations, I just got tired of writing them down.

It was amusing, sometimes, but not something I would ever watch again or even recommend. Maybe it would mean more to me if I’d seen the first movie, but I doubt it.

2/5

Ride Along (2014)

Director:

Tim Story

Starring:

Ice Cube

Kevin Hart

Bruce McGill

Tika Sumpter

Lawrence Fishburne

Plot:

Security guard Ben must prove himself to his girlfriend’s brother, top cop James. He rides along James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta.

Review:

Some shit went down in Atlanta. Who knew Serbians like to smuggle arms though there?

Anyway, Kevin Hart was funny, Ice Cube was a menacing older brother, and Bruce McGill was an angry but understanding police chief. Overall it was fairly funny, some moments more than others.

I did think the short jokes were overdone, we get it he’s short can we move on?

Story was alright, not overly believable but who cares?

Great explosion.

Favorite Line:

Ice Cube:”Give me your belt.”

Kevin Hart: “I got shot and you’re going to whip me?”

3.5/5

Grudge Match (2013)

Director:

Peter Segal

Starring:

Sylvester Stallone

Robert De Niro

Kim Basinger

Kevin Hart

Plot:

A pair of aging boxing rivals are coaxed out of retirement to fight one final bout — 30 years after their last match.

Review:

This movies was… honestly right after I finished watching it I started to forget it. I remember the story and who was in it but the movie was just sort of eh. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good. It was just there.

I thought Kevin Hart’s part would be bigger based on the trailers. I hadn’t even realized Kim Basinger was in it until she showed up.

I watched this shortly after watching Rocky, so I got the Rocky references.

It was a solid 3 star movie.

3/5
