I Think I Love My Wife (2007)
Genre: Romance/Drama/Comedy
Starring: Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, Gina Torres, Steve Buscemi
Every married man goes through a mid-life crisis at least once. The moment they start ogling at other women, when their wife is not pretty anymore and when their life is a complete bore. Richard Cooper (Rock) is the man in question at the moment. His wife Brenda (Torres) is not interested in making love to him anymore and he is getting increasingly frustrated. He does not want to cheat on her by going to someone else and wishes something would happen that would improve his life. Nikki Tru (Washington) walks into his life one day. Nikki is Richard's best friends ex-girlfriend who decided to pay Richard a visit for old times' sake. Richard gets drawn into Nikki with her curvaceous body and seductive looks and the two quickly become good friends. It's only when things go a bit too far and Richard's personal as well as professional life start getting compromised, things start looking bad, very bad. The movie is a very typical black comedy movie with the usual mix of comedy and romance. There is absolutely nothing special about it and the only saving grace is Chris Rock. At least his presence gives you a reason to watch the entire movie, otherwise it is a whole load of trash.
Thumbs up: Chris Rock is the only saving grace
Thumbs down: Far too plain and simple, boring and dragged
Rating: 5.0/10
