April 20, 2012 - 3:15 pm by VIBE

Act like a lady...but think like a man. That's the advice Steve Harvey gave the world when he released his 2009 book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. And millions of women all over the country dove headfirst into the book to get a better idea of the way that guys think. But, what happened to all of those women? Did it really help them figure out the opposite sex?

Well, we're about to find out. On April 20, Harvey's book will come to life when Think Like a Man, a Tim Story-directed movie, hits theaters. It follows the lives of four women in relationships who have read Harvey's book and shows what happens when women try to "think like a man." And we're excited to see it when it comes out. So excited, in fact, that we decided to throw together a list of the 5 reasons we can't wait to see Think Like a Man. Before you head out to see it on the big screen, check it out to see what you can expect.

5 REASONS WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE 'THINK LIKE A MAN'

Reason 1: The cast of Think Like a Man is star-studded, to say the least. Before we tell you who is in this movie, let us tell you who isn't...Um, okay, sorry. But, we couldn't come up with anyone! That's because it feels like everyone is in this film. From Taraji P. Henson, Meagan Good, Gabrielle Union, and Arielle Kebbel to Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, Morris Chestnut, and Chris Brown, the movie is packed with actors, actresses, singers, and other famous folks. For that alone, we can't wait to see this film.

Reason 2: Did we mention Kevin Hart is in it? Why, yes, we did. We included him in "Reason 1." But, let us reiterate it: Kevin Hart is in this movie. And he is funny. So funny that we've found ourselves cracking up during the TV trailers—even though we've already seen all of them a dozen times now. If you need a laugh, Think Like a Man is going to give it to you. We guarantee it.

Reason 3: Steve Harvey was involved in this movie every step of the way. Let us be clear: Think Like a Man isn't a book that's been adapted into a movie. It's a movie that points out the way that a book has affected relationships. And, in that way, the movie takes a very innovative approach to filmmaking. Director Tim Story has even gone as far as to use Harvey's narratives to provide direction throughout the film. So, you can see how all the characters interact once they get advice from him and put it to use.

Reason 4: It gives us an inside look into the way that guys really think. Okay, okay. So maybe you're a guy reading this and, at this point, you're thinking, "Why do I need to know what guys think like? I am one!" But that only adds to the fun—especially if you see this with your significant other. And, for all you ladies out there, this movie offers some real insight into the way guys think and feel about certain things. You might want to bring a pencil and paper to the theater, because you'll definitely learn a thing or two while watching this movie.

THINK LIKE A MAN 5

Reason 5: The soundtrack sounds like it'll be just as good as the movie itself. For this movie, the filmmakers haven't just created something that's visually appealing. They've also put a lot of focus on coming up with a solid soundtrack that helps guide the story. So, they tabbed a bunch of big names to help out with the process. Ne-Yo, Jennifer Hudson, and Rick Ross created the movie's title song. John Legend appears on "Tonight (Best You Ever Had)." And there are tracks by Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, and Future, too. Just a piece of advice, though: You will be singing these songs once you walk out of Think Like a Man. Don't say we didn't warn you. See you on April 20th.
