Think Like a Man If you want to watch a movie based on love, romance and comedy then paying $10.50 at any movie theatre near you is worth it. “Think like a man” is at the top of the charts for best movie of the month even possible for the year. Comedian Kevin Hart stars in this movie, which made the movie even more hilarious. This movie has a total of laughs, advice and romance which could have you in tears from laughter or from a sad scene in the movie. This movie is based on a group of four friends that try to turn the tables on their girlfriends when they hear that their girls have been using a book published by Steve Harvey called, “Think Like A Man, Act Like A Lady.” The book is basically about how guys play the game. The ladies use it so they can always be a step ahead of the game. Now the guys feel like Steve Harvey has betrayed them and their manhood by letting ladies around the world know how men think. The guys are now going to switch the game up which makes this film even more interesting. Steve Harvey says there are four types of men: the momma’s boy, the non-committer, the dreamer and the player. Terrence J played the momma’s boy, now we all know that most guys love their mother, but there are a lot of momma’s boys out there. In this film, the momma’s boy brought his mom on his dates, hung out with her every Sunday, spent the night, and she also still does his laundry. In one scene of the movie, the momma’s boy had a girlfriend and he took her on a date for Valentine’s Day, and in addition, he brought his mother. If that’s not a deal breaker, then I don’t know what is. Scenes like this would have you crying with laughter. This movie was made to entertain and to help out most relationships. In one scene, featuring the “non- committer,” he just wasn’t ready to purpose to the girl he has been with since college. They already lived together for many years and he just

    It is a glimpse into how differently a father would raise his children if given a chance to do so without interference or boundaries. It reminds us that once parents learn to listen to each other instead of fighting with each other during divorce proceedings they will finally come around to doing what is best for their children. The movie introduces the viewers to the changing dynamic of the American family. Mothers are no longer stay at home moms who simply tend to children and cook meals. These days women like Miranda Hillard (Sally Field) are career driven heads of industries. It is also not uncommon these days to find a stay at home dad like Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams). The problem with this situation is that even though mothers bring home the bacon, they are still expected to come home and perform their wifely and motherly duties. Something that society has not once, throughout the history or marriages expected from the husband and father. Such a situation indeed takes its toll on any marriage and weakens the foundation of the…

    This movie really depicts the cultural truth-value of gender roles in the current American society. John Tucker is the typical high school jock that is so handsome, athletic, and gets all the girls. All the girls nowadays have an image that every boy that they date should be like that. Also, it is quite a double standard because if a girl were to date 3 guys at the same time, she would be considered a “slut,” but if a guy wants to do that; his boys will say that he is a “stud.” The girls in this film are also depicted as the stereotypical girls who are either the cheerleader for the football or basketball team who get with all the guys, the smart girl who is a nerd, and the girl who is the class “slut” who hooks up with everyone.…

    To act like a “lady” one should walk with confidence, and always remember to look her best at all times. On the other hand, think like a man and play by the rules of the status quo. I believe that a lady should remember to never let her guard down and give off a confident aurora. I’ve had some experience in relationships and dealing with guys that can manipulate a girls’ mind. Women have to learn how to play by the guys rules and think like a man. It’s the only way to avoid getting played.…

    The movie showed instances of gender stereotyping most strongly. Starting with the women characters, there is a laundry list of notable instances, but I will only name a few. We can start with Azteca, Z's friend and fellow "worker". While Z is a typical male who is competitive and wants to move up in the world, Azteca maintains a somewhat "typical" female response. Instead of encouraging him, she tells Z to just smile, and happily accept his place, even if it is an awful life where he is to literally digging ditches his whole life. This example simply highlight the stereotype that women can, in effect, be "yes men", the phrase further illustrating the perception of weakness in females. Another time when this theme appeared was when the Queen was talking to her daughter, who was, in an old-school sort of way, betrothed to a man not of her choosing, the general. While the daughter complained, the Queen simply urged her to be complacent, and accept her fate, because it is "the best thing for everyone". Another instance, and one which I found particularly hilarious, was the woman wasp(no coincidence there, of course). When Z and the princess were in trouble, she insisted to her husband that he help them, because it was the humanitarian thing to do. It was presented in such a way that harkened to the proverbial housewife image, whereby the…

    Feminism, one of the biggest parts of American history. It started all the way back in the 19th century and has continued to change and shape america ever since. There have been three (or for) “waves” of feminism, as they are called. The first one to really be represented in media at a large scale was the third wave. This opportunity for feminism to be planted into media gave women the chance to show people what it is like for them, but now on the big screen. one such movie that falls perfectly into this time period is the great comedy 9 to 5. The movie encomposes three women in a work/ office setting, two have been working there and one Judy Bernly who is forced to get a job after her husband leaves her, so desperate for a job she joins the…

    It's a documentary about how men thinks of themselves as masculine and what parts to show to be manly and not a wimp or a punk. And in the video they asked people what you think a man is, and people’s answers were that a man has to be physical, strong, independent, powerful, commanding, tough, athletic, and muscular. And it's all about being tough to be dominant male and how men always want to be tougher than one another. Studies shown that 85% of Murders are by men, 95% of assault are by men, 95% of domestic violence are by men, and 99% of people convicted of rape in prison are men. And boys are being boxed in when they are being called fag, was, wimp, or dork because it's like taking their masculinity away. And men think they can solve everything with violence because it will make people fear them once they do it, they want a reputation like for example, “look jakes coming remember when he robbed and beat bobby for his Jordan's, he's tough." That's what men want, they want other men to be feared by them because most men tend to get physical with each other when in an argument. Women are more talking about it then getting physical. And it has to change because most these men just act tough as an illusion and when they with like their girlfriend there all sensitive and just act completely different from a tough guy.…
