Think Like
A Man Too
*
Dir: Tim Story. With: Kevin Hart, Gabrielle
Union, Wendi McLendon-Covey. 106 mins. Cert: 12A
The full-throttle assault
on reason, taste and human dignity that is this sequel to 2012’s
sisters-versus-playas romcom lays on a Vegas reunion for a set of now-married
or engaged characters almost everyone save the Sony beancounters had left
behind. Overcompensating for an absence of honest gags, Tim Story cranks
everything – soundtrack, stag party lo-jinks, hollered life lessons on
“scoring” – 75% louder than the average UK ear will tolerate: the image of
Kevin Hart dancing in his underpants to a Pitbull song may well be emblematic
of where the American mainstream is nowadays, but surely didn’t need preserving
for future generations to recoil from.
Think Like a Man Too opens in cinemas nationwide today.
