    Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips

    Think Like a Man is what it is. But its hangout factor is considerable, because the actors' charms are considerable.

    Think Like a Man is so busy tracking courtship as if it were a science project that the bite-size love stories lack spontaneity.

    Even though Think Like a Man espouses something akin to the philosophy in Beyoncé's Single Ladies(Put a Ring on It), it makes manipulation more fun than it ought to be.
