In reducing the rules of romance to a 10-day plan for repairing a breakup, Two Can Play That Game tickles a few funny bones while "keepin' it real" about heartbreak and human behavior. Our hostess through this marathon of head games is 28-year-old Shanté (Vivica A. Fox--emphasis on the fox), who speaks to the camera so much that critic Roger Ebert nicknamed this movie "Waiting to Inhale." In a film packed with positive stereotypes (no crack-smoking gangstas here, thank you), she's a successful marketing executive, and her straying boyfriend is a high-profile attorney (Morris Chestnut). Their turbulent romance survives Shanté's 10-day power play, but not all viewers will be so lucky, since this movie is alternately charming and aggravating, and there's precious little romance while the lovers are plotting their moves. Still, it's a safe bet that many people will appreciate this movie's endearing lesson--namely, that sincere groveling can save you lots of time and heartache. --Jeff Shannon

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: Loved it! Morris Chestnut is, well, Morris Chestnut. However, Anthony Anderson steals the show! He is so funny and carries the film!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Realistic and funny
Comment: My friends and I love this movie. It's realistic to what we go through with the men in our lives. I recommend it to anyone who has to deal with the games single people play. Men are just as bad as we are (if not worse) and that,s also shown in the movie. Gabrielle Union's performance is classic as the "other woman". She's every woman's nightmare who we hope will never cross paths with our man. Give this movie to your girlfriends when they go through a breakup or been cheated on. It will make them realize they should "check 'em" and not spend any more time than necessary hurting over a man.
