This movie is based on comedian Steve Harvey's best selling book. I didn't read it but this movie that it's based on is very funny. The movie follows four friends who conspire to turn the tables on their women when they discover the ladies have been using Steve Harvey's relationship advice against them. Kevin Hart also stars as a man going through a divorce and pretty much steals the movie. This is his breakthrough role.
The other actors also give solid performances and the casting was perfect. Thank God the director didn't cast the handful of tired black actors (Jamie, Halle, Vivica Fox or Eddie) to star in this movie. It's fresh faces and exciting new talent.
There are times when they show Steve Harvey talking to the camera a little too much but that tapers off in the second half of the movie.
The soundtrack is good and the film looks good. With only a budget of $12 million the actors were probably paid peanuts.
I expect Kevin Hart's paycheck to escalate and Chris Rock (who has not been funny in years) to hand over the crown as King of Comedy to Hart.
Verdict:
If you don't know who Kevin Hart is you will.
