Review: Is this what African-American films have to come to these days?
This piece of junk has to be one of the lamest Black films to come out in a minute.It's not really funny and Vivica Fox & Co. seem like they want their check-and that's it!
I don't blame them 'cause if I was in this dumb movie,I'd just show up for the check too!

Summary: This "Game" of love and war just isn't very fun.
Review: "Two Can Play That Game" operates under the notion that relationships in distress call for a set of rules used to keep the opposite sex under control, only to relinquish this concept by concluding with a shot of our two main characters embracing after ninety minutes of cloyed storytelling and little to no comedic relief. But it's perfectly okay for the movie to end on a note of heavenly bliss; after all, when it comes to love, their are no rules. So why have a game? Better yet, why have this movie? The story is carried by a narration from its main character, Shante (Vivica A. Fox), an advertising executive who believes basically that all men are scum. It would appear that she has every right to hold such a belief: each of her three best friends have lousy men in their lives, while she thrives in a trusting, affectionate relationship with wealthy lawyer Keith Fenton (Morris Chestnut). Minutes after her lesson in excuses to cover up cheating ways, Shante notices her knight in shining armor out with another woman when he was supposedly "working late," and so she begins her so-called "10-Day Plan" of games and trickery to bring him to his knees, begging her to take him back. They await phone calls from one another, make unexpected visits to each other's dwellings, avoid appearing somber in front of friends, and resort to drastic measures such as flirting and dating other people in their desperate attempts to win the other back without being the loser of the game. The movie hits a speed bump from the start with its characters, who lack any sort of charm or sparkle to keep us interested in what they have to say. Fox does her best in trying to keep a smooth flow to the cumbersome and cloyed script, but her character's narration is bothersome and intrusive, providing for long periods of dialogue that is mean-spirited when it should be funny. The sole humorous moments of the film come from the four women, who, when in one another's company, generate the kind of laughs and smiles that the film is badly in need of. Another question comes to mind when looking back on the movie: why should we care about whether or not these two people will end up together when we have no reason to embrace them as individuals? As they spend most of their time driving around in expensive cars, with Shante incessantly sneering at the camera and Keith getting his groove on with various women in a pathetic attempt to get over his lost love, we have no reason to suspect that their emotion runs deeper than their vanity. They spend so much time keeping each other at bay with their tactics, that when it comes time for them to reconcile, it's not so much a happy ending as it is just an ending, period. There are small glimpses of a better movie in "Two Can Play That Game," such as the wit of the supporting female cast members and Anthony Anderson as Keith's friend and mentor, but they are buried under a massive heap of battle-of-the-sexes cliché, moronic plotting, misguided narration and unlikable characters. Sure, their lives are nice to look at on the outside, and the actors are easy on the eyes with their suave looks, but when you get right down to it, this game of love just isn't very fun, and lacks the sense of humor needed to justify the movie's near-pointless plot.

Summary: Enough Truth In This Movie
Review: This movie is pretty much on point concerning relationships and the games we play to see how far we can go and to see how much a person cares. Two Can Play That game is a tasteful movie with a lot of Humor. Vivica Fox as Shante does a good job narrating this movie. She acctually gives good advice about how to conduct yourself in some areas of relationship problems. Morris Chestnut, Mr. Fine Himself, also did a good job, potraying how men really feel, it's not always I dont Give a Care about her. Men have feelings too. I can appreciate a movie like this, It's nothing extrodinary, but a movie you wouldn't mind discussing with friends and family. Also, Good Performances by Gabriel Union and Anthony Anderson. Check it Out.

Summary: Hilarious !!
Review: To be honest with you, I was getting a bit tired of the african american films based on relationships but I was pleasantly surprised with this film. The beginning reminded me of "The Brothers" with views of the city and the rest of the film reminded me somewhat of "Boomerang". The content however, was very funny. I liked the way Morris Chestnut was able to exploit his ability as a comedian. The scene after Day 5 (breezing through his office building full of confidence because he had scored an extra point) had me on the floor crying with laughter. I was glad that the film finished with no one getting the upper edge. The problem is that grown adults do play childish games on each other and it is such a terrible waste of life. Let that be a lesson to us all. Other funny scenes:
Michaels teeth, I would not have wasted good money on those fangs. Keith's friend always having the last say. Tracy and her man arguing. And who could forget Tyrone - where did Shante find him???? Must have been desperate times !!

Summary: Charming and light
Review: Smarmy little comedy about a sassy advertising executive (Viveca A. Fox) who thinks she knows everything about men but is one day thrown for a loop when her seemingly perfect, trustworthy boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) is caught on a date with another woman. Fox decides to implement her 10-day punishment program, designed to get the guy down on his knees begging for forgiveness and reinstatement in the relationship. Told in intimate narration style with Fox directing her comments straight at the camera, the film never reaches its full comedic potential, but is extremely enjoyable and amply examples both the male and female side of the conundrum it is exploiting. None of the characters ever become cloying (except for David Krumholtz's annoyingly heartless stereotype of a gay male secretary), though one would wish for more scenes involving Fox's girlfriends, as they provide some real gems for the story (especially comedienne Mo'nique as the self-proclaimed "Ghetto Glamour" girl). No real disappointments here, though.

Summary: Give me a break
Review: This movie had too many production issues. Even though I love to watch Vivica Fox, her narration in this movie annoyed the heck out of me. She talked to the camera WAY too much for the movie's own good. Anthony Anderson was the only character that I truly liked in the movie. His attitude and playful posturings was a refreshing change of pace to the (numerous) annoying crying and whining scenes. I have to ask one question to Morris: Why did you do this movie? Are you that desperate for money? Are time really that bad? It started off really bad, but got interesting towards the middle, then it ended predictably. Hands down one of the worst of the new "blackploitative" films of our era. Do yourself a favor, see this movie when it's in the $1.99, 5 day rental section of Blockbuster. You'll still have overpaid though.

Summary: Two Can Play This Game
Review: This movie was great. Most people wouldn't think this action actually goes on but men and women both play these "I'm not going to let my true feelings show yet I don't want to be hurt" games. This movie wasn't offensive the way some African American cast movies are. It was very sophisticated and depicted careers we now have.
The cast was superb and very funny, especially the insecure women in their relationships. Vivica and Morris created their characters unfolding from beign uptight and unsure to "we are for real." I want to know the type and make of car Vivica Fox drove in the movie. Thanks Mark Brown for being REAL. May God continue to inspire you and increase your worth and talent as an all around artist.

Summary: Fantastic Cast!
Review: I was reluctant to go plop down money to see this movie, having heard that is was exactly like the numerous African American movies that have hit theaters over the past several years. After all too much of a good thing can be a turn off. However, after deciding that it was easier to just go see it instead of continuing to wonder about it, I took in a Sunday matinee. For the duration of the film, I was grinning, shaking my head, and sometimes ever laughing out loud. Vivica Fox has never been a favorite of mine but I have to give it to her: she played the role of Chante extremely well. The supporting cast (the main reason I finally went to see it) were outstanding as well. Doug McHenry has made a career out of producing and directing witty, entertaining films. Great job once again.
