MPAA Rating: PG-13 Length: 123 minutes
Age Appropriate for: 15+. Cursing and raunchy language, drinking, drug use, and a bunch of sexual references and situations. The film is based on a relationship advice book, so expect a lot of grownup conversations about sex and companionship (most of which are too mature for younger teens who probably haven’t even started dating yet).
Steve Harvey is one lucky guy—’Think Like A Man’ is a two hour-plus infomercial for his 2009 relationship advice book, which attempted to guide women toward a better understanding of men. This film adaptation, however, is your typically ridiculous romantic comedy that pushes its audience’s patience.

How much money do we think Steve Harvey got for “Think Like A Man,” the adaptation of his 2009 advice book, “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment”? Any amount, I’m going to say, was too much, since “Think Like A Man” is the kind of formulaic dumbness that ends up lining Hollywood’s pockets while depleting ours.
