Terrence J Breaks Out
Recognized best for serving as a host of BET’s 106 & Park, Terrence J has had a phenomenal rise since jumping on the big-screen scene in 2005. Now in his seventh season alongside beautiful co-host Rocsi, Terrence takes on the role of Michael, the Mama’s Boy who can’t seem to leave the cusp of his mother’s breast until love comes along.

Special Guest Features
TLAM is chock full of star cameos—some reported and others not. You’ll see faces of some of your favorite artists, actors and athletes you haven’t seen for awhile grace the screen again. One feature that seemed to shock the small screening crowd was a fan favorite that hasn’t been seen for some years. We won’t spoil it, but this person’s name rhymes with Boris Putt-Putt.

Tyler Perry Had No Role In The Making Of This Film
Over the past few years, movies starring a predominantly Black or Latino cast on the big-screen had a lot to do with media mogul Tyler Perry. Not this time. Aside from what many believe of Perry’s films to exploit racial stereotypes, TLAM stays away from that approach with characters that audience members can relate to—which leads to our next reason….

Developed Storyline
TLAM does well in crossing the four main storylines into an overall message. Thank scriptwriters Keith Merryman and David A.

Good Balance of Comedic Relief And Drama
Some films generally get it wrong when they try to mix comedy and a serious subject but TLAM gets it right. Don’t get us wrong the film is guaranteed to keep you laughing but between those laughs you began to empathize with certain characters especially the 90-Day-Rule Girl, played by Meagan Good.

Lots Of Eye Candy
Think Like A Man boasts swoon-inducing moments for both sexes (During one of our screenings, a guy yelled “yum” upon seeing Meagan Good). The eye candy is on high, and the film doesn’t hold back on showing its lead actors shirtless and its gorgeous actresses in form fitting attire to show off every curve. Amen.

Predominantly Ethnic Cast
Doesn’t it feel great to see a large cast of successful Black and Latino characters portrayed on camera? Well we are. No stereotypical roles here.

It Stays True To The Book
This is either a good or bad thing, depending on your thoughts on Steve’s “think like a man” philosophy. Is it archaic or smart? Meh. Either way, the storyline meticulously follows the chapters of Harvey’s book as a plot device to segue into scenes. Most instances feature Harvey himself as the narrator (insert eye roll for the naysayers).

Relatable Characters
Every character presented in TLAM will remind you of a friend, family member or worst enemy. Whether it’s The Mama’s Boy, The Player or The Single Mom, be prepared to say, “That’s exactly how she acts!”

Kevin Hart Is STUPID
...In the best way, of course. Though every actor holds his and her own, one is the clear scene-stealing breakout. With his pristine comedic relief and obvious ad-lib moments, Hart makes every scene bearable, playing a guy fresh off a divorce. When with his boys, who all seem to be finding love while his is ending, the bubbling thespian makes jest out of every moment to mask the hurt of his divorce. Be prepared for a lot more movies with Kevin Hart center stage.
