An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for romantic-comedies, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be based on a real self-help book which must be one of the most misguided gimmicks in the romantic-comedy genre. However, even if this movie should have been a complete failure, I have to admit that it was actually quite watchable and it mostly had to do with the characters and the cast involved (Kevin Hart, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union, Regina Hall). Indeed, I actually liked these characters who were fairly realistic and, basically, this stupid book was just a lame excuse to create some bogus conflicts between them. Eventually, if they would have removed this book, it would have been actually a much more entertaining movie dealing with 4 couples all starting up their relationships. Concerning Kevin Hart, I have noticed that I’m not really familiar with his work but, even though the guy was pretty funny, it’s too bad that this character wasn’t developed at all and the only thing he did was pretty much to deliver some oneliners from time to time. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look but only if you really like the genre.
