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 behaviour. 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 grovelling can save you lots of time and heartache. --Jeff Shannon

This film is oh so true! Hell, we can play that game, games are not just for men. Put your foot down girls, don't put up with their cr*p... I let my man know that in a subtle way and we got married last month!

I watched this film again last night, and have to say that it has worn
very well. It made me lol several times and I did rewind quite a few jokes! As well as Morris, there is an extra serving of eye candy in the form of the writer/director if you watch the special features. All the actors are good, but Anthony Anderson is absolutely brilliant, and the writing is very sharp. Both men & women should watch & learn!!
Two can play that game: A brilliant film

I found this film extremely refreshing to watch as it is diffrent from the usual gangsta films, where black people are seen as stereotypes. This is a film that uses intelligence , charm and wit to tackle the issues of relationships. Anthony Anderson and Monique are comic geniuses, Vivica and Morris have brilliant chemistry, anybody can watch this film, as it's subjects issues potrayed in the film are not restricted.

An absolutely suberb film. It was a refreshing change to see good blackactors living in nice neighboourhoods with good jobs, as opposed to livingin the ghetto, drug dealing and shot outs every scene. Black people DOhave good jobs, and it is heartening to see this portrayed in this film. Very funny from start to finish, the characters are very easy to identifywith, which makes it a very easy to get into the film.
Morris, Vivica,Monique and Anthony Anderson are brilliant!
HIGHLY recommended.
