Movie Reviews of Two Can Play That Game
Movie Review: Charming and light
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Movie Review: off the heezy for sheezy

Summary: 2 Stars
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.Movie Review: Two Can Play This Game
Summary: 4 Stars
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. Yvonne
Movie Review: Fantastic Cast!
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
