After surprising everyone with a strong opening weekend in early 2012, Think Like A Man went on to gross nearly $100 million. Audiences loved it and it was just another sign of Kevin Hart’s increasing popularity on the big screen. Sony announced the sequel last summer and now we have our first look at Think Like A Man Too. The entire gang is back and they have upped the ante by taking the action to Vegas.
The first film loosely connected the stories of a group of single guys and they’re dating experiences with a group of women that were determined not to follow the typical “script” for dating and “think like a man.” Now everyone is coupled up and we have a more central story this time with the wedding of Michael(Terrence J) and Candace(Regina Hall) and the simultaneous bachelor/bachelorette parties. We've seen bachelor parties in Vegas and we've seen bachelorette parties in Vegas. I like the premise of both of these parties taking place at the same time and having the two groups compete to see who has more fun.
The emphasis of the trailer is obviously Kevin Hart and if you're not a fan of his I don't see you enjoying this movie. He’s easily the biggest name in the cast and he even does the voice-over for the trailer. The rest of the cast looks just as capable as last time and we even see a couple of threads from the last film carry over. Michael’s mom is still overly involved in his life. Zeke(Romany Malco) is still dealing with his ladies man reputation and trying to prove to Maya(Meagan Good) that he’s a changed man. I had fun with the first film and I don't think this one will be any different. I enjoy Kevin Hart’s manic brand of comedy most of the time and as long as he’s balanced out by the rest of the cast this should be a fun time at the movies.
Think Like A Man Too opens in theaters June 20.
