Movie Reviews of I Think I Love My Wife
Movie Review: It matters!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether the team responsible for producing I Think I Love My Wife was able to deliver their vision, I am so darn glad they tried! Chris' character is really believable as a guy who sincerely wants his marriage to work and is able to say no to terrific calculated temptation. In the end, the end of the movie so many other reviewers, myself included, found unsatisfying, nobody involved in the film knew how to save a marriage--and Chris himself filed for divorce just months after the release of the film, right? Okay, we have to work on that angle. But the fact that the movie showed an African American guy saying no to the stereotype, showed him loving his kids, showed him saying no to a hot hot HOT lady, showed him trying to connect with his wife, it's worth it. I hope Chris gets back together with his real wife and does not get into the "serial marriage" thing of today, which is so awful and empty for women and for men. (By the way,if Chris wants to consult, I can share that the secret to happy marriage is to keep on creating those beautiful babies, and the secret to being able to do that is, make it safe for women to have babies by coming down hard on divorce and infidelity--and as this film does, coming down hard on the women who prey on married men. 'Cause this movie wasn't kind to Ms. Washington, and good on it.)
This movie showed Chris Rock to be an incredibly thoughtful and loving person, as a comedian and as an actor and as a writer and as a human being, and I hope he doesn't listen to the critics. Listen, the little bit of cussing doesn't take away from that; yes, people talk like that in the real world--way worse.

Summary of I Think I Love My Wife
No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 5-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD
Chris Rock's loose remake of 1972's Chloe In the Afternoon, the latter an entry in French New Wave genius Eric Rohmer?s Six Moral Tales cycle, is a half-silly, half-starchy adult comedy about a buttoned-up money manager, Richard Cooper (Rock), whose staid life at home has worn down his sexual vitality. With two kids and a somewhat joyless wife (Gina Torres), Richard's mind wanders on the job, on the train, virtually anywhere a restless husband can spot beautiful, unattainable women. Still, no harm done, until old friend Nikki (Kerry Washington) shows up in his office, wanting his support and counsel and friendship every minute over subsequent weeks. The two stay out of the sack, which makes it possible for them to be honest with one another. Nikki criticizes Richard for being in what appears to be a loveless relationship, bled dry of passion. Richard calls out Nikki for being flighty, unwilling to commit to anything.
As the relationship wears on, Richard's world is upended, and the havoc takes a toll on his family life and productivity. It's at this point where the film, co-adapted for the screen and directed by Rock, paints itself into a corner, with few interesting alternatives for a way out of Richard's dilemma that feel authentic or, for that matter, funny. A Viagra-inspired visual joke (gee, hard to imagine what that could be) is a crass gift to audience members growing suspicious that Rock has lured them into a chick flick. A soul duet between Rock and Torres appears out of nowhere and throws the emotional balance off at a crucial moment. This kind of thing makes one wonder how seriously Rock took his own project, yet there are signs that he--a very funny and intelligent talent--has a different kind of movie in him. Jokes about Michael Jackson, race, and even racially-slanted comedy are peppered throughout I Think I Love My Wife, harmless distractions in context, yet suggestive of a different kind of movie satire waiting to come out of Rock. --Tom Keogh
