Review: I enjoyed this movie. I Thought Viveca played her part well. Although, I do like Viveca. She's really convincing. Morris Chestnut, is soooooooooooo fine. I really enjoyed looking at him. But overall, i liked this movie. go get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Two Can Play This Game
Review: This story is great. It will make you laugh out loud and it can make you cry. Morris Chestnut and Vivica A. Fox are wonderful together in this movie. It's one you'll watch over again. It's packed with action, love, great music. The story tells of problems you can have in any relationship. It's how you choose to deal with then that counts.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yawwwwnnnn .... zzzz ... snore ... cough ... etc.
Review: I am part of an African-American book and media club. We try to support all A-A entertainment. I was told be another member to go watch this as a movie. Boy was I sorry. DVD is no better.

I like Vivica Foxx. But she plays in some lame movies, starting with Booty Call. In this movie, her character kept talking to us (narrating) by looking directly into the camera. This was annoying but was sorely needed for a poorly scripted movie. Also, the upclose camera shots of Foxx showed her as an AGING actress, perhaps too old to be Morris Chestnutt's lover. When will Vivica be a producer/director of films instead of an actress/employee?

This movie was supposed to be funny. But what was funny about Morris Chestnutt receiving [bad] advice from his thuggy friends? Also, I never felt that Foxx/Chestnutt are "successful" in this movie. All Chestnutt did was sit behind a desk during "working hours" gossipping with his "homies" about Foxx. Good example for young Blacks hoping to make it in the corporate world, right? Oh, and Foxx? She's wealthy for no reason. During one of her so-called corporate office scenes, she has to "sneer" into the camera again to TELL you she is an executive -- evidence that the script and acting and even background setups were all faulty in this movie.

In a leading African American magazine with Fox and Chestnut featured on the cover, Fox mentions her attempt to "turn out" Hollywood by being the leading lady of this film. (Translation: Oh, please, please, Black moviegoers, I need a job so come see my otherwise stupid, little movie!) Well, with a poor script, overdone stage setting and Foxx's swearing, Vivica honey you will continue to be an aging actress. Please grow up professionally.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must See Comedy Drama!
Review: This movie is an excellent way to tell how relationships really are. I like the way the "ten step process" was carried out because the way it was displayed is exactly what we do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST
Review: THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE. THE KIND OF MOVIE YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE WITH YOUR GIRLS. ITS ABOUT THE GAME OF THE RELATIONSHIP. IT WAS A NICE COMEDY, NOTHING TO SERIOUS. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SAYING "I DID THAT BEFORE." YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE RULES IN THE MOVIE. THIS MOVIE WILL LEAVE YOU SMILING WHEN ITS TIME FOR THE CREDITS TO ROLL.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 3.5 stars...
Review: Granted I wasn't expecting the setup. Fox moreorless narrates the movie. Men and Women playing games when they think MOTOS is playing out of the field that they are allowed to. "Shante" (Fox) finds her supposed to be well respected man on the dancefloor with another women when he said he was going to be at work late. From there Shante plays the waiting game, let's him call and moreorless begs to communicate with her, she leaves him hanging to make him keep calling back.

Sooner or later, he gets tired and starts to really play the field-though it looks like only to get back at her. It turns out that he is just playing the game that she is. Do they meet up again in the end? Well that's something you will have to watch the movie for.

Funny in some parts but overall just basic fact on what happens when men and women's emotions get involved when they think the member of the opposite sex is playing around. Or when they really are playing around. I give it a 3.5 stars out of 5. I, like many others, felt that there would have been deeper roles than this, given the actors and actresses playing the parts. But anyways-it's a relationship chick flick. It wouldn't hurt to rent it, if it interest you!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok but I expected more
Review: First of all, I just could not picture Vivica Fox as a "Shante". For the most part, I'm not really one for THE RULES, but I expected a fun, more in depth movie given the cast. There were some (okay...just a few) funny scenes; esp. those featuring Bobby Brown.........Maaannn, what a transformation!!
Morris Chestnut did a great job as the boyfriend (Keith) trying to stay one up w/Shante. Anthony Anderson did a good job as supporting actor playing Chestnut's good friend and "relationship coach".

It was interesting to see the "game" played in the form of a Tennis Match so to speak. She does this then he does that. But as is evident, too much game playing proves to be childish, unwarrented and ultimately hurtful. Save your time and your heart...be real and be true...

Communicate to one another. Either the relationship was meant to be or it wasn't.....PERIOD!

Overall, no matter what, it's a pleasure to see movies where our peers are successful and competing in Corporate America. That part at least sends out a positive message to the viewing audience.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Liked it but.....
Review: See, that's the problem with the sexes today. Everybody wants to control the other. Now, here you have a woman who saw her man and another woman in the club dancing(after He said he would be working late), and this girl got this brother alternating from calling her often to going out his mind. What happened to sitting down and setting it straight?? I liked this movie, but between all these head games that Vivica A. Fox and Anthony Anderson was doing, chile, you would have thought they were corporate merger headhunters, not playing in the delicate game of
love, and what did she accomplish?? Almost loosing ol' boy to a high class skeezer. This is too,too much. Folks need to come correct here. Now, what is the benefit of all those rules when you don't have no one to be with at the end of those 10 days???? Where was your purpose then? Now, I don't date, and maybe that may one of the reasons, but we put ourselves under too much darn stress over each other. Get real and get straight. Life is too darn short.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute and Funny
Review: I didn't think I'd like this movie. As it takes real genius to pull off a "narrative" or the story teller aspect, which this director was obviously lacking the talent to do... However, putting that aside, I thought the over-all movie was funny, the acting was ok, the concept was great... and was well worth buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The TRUTH
Review: The truth shall set you free. I kept hearing mixed reviews. Some said they liked it, others said they didn't. I liked it. It was better than I thought it would be as a matter of fact. If you are having doubts...get the movie. I AM!!! It is good!
