Critics agree the cliché and 'disposable' plot is strengthened by its ensemble cast. By Fallon Prinzivalli Meagan Good and Romany Malco in "Think Like a Man" Photo: Screen Gems Productions The story line for "Think Like a Man" is nothing groundbreaking. Every rom-com touches on men wanting sex and women wanting a man to sweep them off their feet — with both unsatisfied until everything is tied into a neat bow in the last five minutes. Based on the Steve Harvey book "Act like a Lady, Think like a Man," the film follows a group of men who realize their relationships are being infiltrated by Harvey's self-help book. The women are highlighting away at the pages and using every tactic to get what they want out of their affairs. And while many critics claim the movie looks more like an infomercial, what saves the film is the ensemble cast of attractive, talented actors — Michael Ealy, Meagan Good, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson and Regina Hall, to name a few — who deliver mild lines with wit and perfectly hit the punch lines of every joke. It remains to be seen whether "Think like a Man" will knock "The Hunger Games" off its box-office throne this weekend, but as the reviews pour in, it's looking promising. The Story " 'Think Like a Man' is a romantic ensemble comedy — an excessively populated and chatty two-hour one — spun from comedian and syndicated radio host Steve Harvey's 2009 self-help relationship bestseller 'Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man'...The fact that the movie adaptation uses just the latter half of Harvey's book title is your first clue to its slant. It centers around a fraternity of six friends — each designated in the intro as a particular 'type' (as per Harvey's book) — who regularly meet to play basketball, drink and talk about women. Four of them discover that the women they are involved with (who are also 'types') are applying Harvey's wisdom to the relationship dynamic, so the men study up and turn the game to the home-team advantage for what amounts to a temporary fix." — Jennie Punter, The Globe and Mail The Ensemble Cast "Forget hackneyed clichés about Players and Dreamers and the scheming women who seek to domesticate them. Focus on the pleasures of watching a group of gifted actors spar and seduce each other with genuine warmth, and 'Think Like a Man' just might go straight to your head." — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post "Every primary cast member is appealing, elevating the disposable plot — men and women are in constant battle, yawn — into a funny, sexy take on contemporary dating. Middling lines are delivered with sharp sass; tired stereotypes are ... well, still tired, actually (women manipulate and nag, men lie and evade). But at least the actors offer gentle twists that take away some of the sting." — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News The Laughs " 'Think Like a Man' is occasionally funny, though its dirty riffs — most provided by Kevin Hart as the Happily Divorced Guy — are as formulaic as its earnest parts. The movie isn't liable to surprise you. Nor will it bore or offend you, even if you find Mr. Harvey's shtick more old-school sexist than old-school courtly." — Rachel Saltz, The New York Times The Final Word "These 30-something folks, comfortable in their circumstances and their skins, are allowed to be smart of heart if baffled by the 21st-century courtship game. There's nothing profound going on here; the truisms don't blossom into life-enriching truths. It's more like the person you meet at a bar who, on second glance, is surprisingly attractive. Call 'Think Like a Man' a perfectly satisfactory one-night stand at the movies." — Richard Corliss, TIME Are you planning on seeing "Think Like a Man"? Let us know in the comments!

With more than half the delegates needed for nomination, Romney setting sights on President Obama.By Gil Kaufman Mitt Romney at an election-night rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Photo: Getty Images Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney took a big step toward locking down the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday when he pulled off a clean sweep of the day's three primaries. With decisive victories in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia, Romney appeared to finally vanquish his rivals as he increasingly turned his attention to President Obama. Romney won 42.5 percent of the vote in Wisconsin, outpacing his only remaining threat, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who earned 37.6 percent. Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich were well behind both men in all three contests. In Maryland, Romney took 49.1 percent to Santorum's 28.9 and in Washington, D.C., Romney landed a commanding 70 percent to Paul's 12 and Gingrich's 11; Santorum was not on the ballot in D.C. "This has really been quite a night. We won a great victory tonight in our campaign to restore the promise of America," Romney said. "President Obama thinks he's doing a good job -- I'm not kidding," he told a crowd in Milwaukee while standing in front of a large American flag, according to the New York Times. "It's enough to make you think that years of flying around on Air Force One, surrounded by an adoring staff of true believers telling you that you're great and you're doing a great job, it's enough to make you think that you might become a little out of touch." After once again slamming the president for creating what he deemed a "government-centered society" based on bloated White House policies, Romney promised his followers that he would preside over a different America if he wins in November. "The dreamers can dream a little bigger, the help wanted signs can be dusted off, and we can start again," he said. "And this time we'll get it right." Romney now has 58 percent of the delegates needed to secure the nomination, but his slow, methodical march to the magic number of 1,144 is not quite over, as Santorum vowed that he would stay in the race through the April 24 primaries. Five states will vote on that day, including his home state of Pennsylvania, where Santorum believes he can put up a convincing victory that might pave the way to more wins in May. According to estimates, Romney has 648 delegates so far to Santorum's 264. Even before Romney could celebrate, he got a taste of what the general election might feel like when President Obama singled him out for some criticism while speaking to a crowd of editors and reporters in Washington. Obama slammed Romney for supporting a GOP budget proposal that the president likened to "social Darwinism." "He said that he's 'very supportive' of this new budget," Obama said of Romney, before seeming to mock his potential challenger's one-percent pedigree. "And he even called it 'marvelous,' which is a word you don't often hear when it comes to describing a budget ... it's a word you don't hear generally." He assailed the budget plan put forward by House Republicans for slashing funding for education and infrastructure in favor of more tax breaks for the wealthy. The fiery speech came on the same day that Obama clinched the uncontested Democratic presidential nomination with wins in all three states. With Santorum (not to mention Gingrich and Paul) showing no signs of leaving the GOP contest, pundits predicted that the road ahead for Romney could still be tough, as he must continue to beat back the other contenders in some Southern primaries in May while attempting to focus his fire on Obama.
