A great rom com of sorts with a light tone and some good laughs. Each couple had good chemistry and the friend group had easy banter. Storyline was expected, but in a good way.

Good chemistry and good laughs
Great laughs but a little bit long
Zeke (Romany Malco) is the Player. Michael (Terrence Jenkins) is the Mamma's Boy. Dominic (Michael Ealy) is the Dreamer. Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) is the Non-Committer. Four women, the 90 Day Rule Girl Mya (Meagan Good),the Single Mom Candace (Regina Hall),Lauren (Taraji P. Henson),the Girl who wants the Ring Kristen (Gabrielle Union) have trouble with men until they discover the relationship book written by Steve Harvey. Rounding out the group is the Happily Married Man Bennett (Gary Owen). Cedric (Kevin Hart) is the Happier Divorced Guy.
Steve Harvey's take on relationships can be very goal oriented. It doesn't always lend itself to be a comedy. However there is enough comedy in the relationships and that's why they got Kevin Hart to spice things up. The best thing about this is the great actors in the cast. I like everybody and their chemistry. I love the fun chemistry between guys. Kevin Hart is hilarious as the idiot. The only relationship I'm not feeling is Jerry Ferrara and Gabrielle Union. They don't fit. I don't see Gabrielle as that girl and Jerry is still Turtle to me. In general, it has some great laughs but it is a little bit long.
It's war
But in a fun romantic kind of way. It's not only about suspending your disbelief, but just rolling with it. The movie does not serve anything else than what you should expect from a title like that. To be honest, I thought it'd be worse, but in this case you can feel how much fun the actors had on set. Everyone is clicking and even relationships that seem to have issues, have their strong moments.
You can see why there are problems and obviously we do get clichés too. Even the voice over does work (most of the time). Of course you shouldn't have issues with Kevin Hart (I have friends who think he's annoying) or anyone else for that matter. If you can dig them and like seeing people going at it (not literally, no explicit love scenes to make that clear, and the movie is far too light and does not need them) - this movie can be a fun ride for you. Don't expect too much depth of course
