Two Can Play That Game: Critic Reviews

Fox and Chestnut, with their fine looks and fine wardrobes, are all dressed up for a party that most guests bailed on in the last days of the old millennium.

It does manage to be more fun than most romantic comedies these days.

Both sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly.

Doesn't anyone get sick of this same old routine?

Offers for most of its length a wickedly funny romp that takes witty aim at traditional gender roles and stereotypes.

The actors all have great charisma and play their parts with verve. The film goes down painlessly, and even the biggest curmudgeon is guaranteed to get at least a couple of laughs out of it.

An endearing romantic comedy that pokes fun at the ridiculous things people do for love.

The movie does have charm and moments of humor.

A listless, witless battle-of-the-sexes movie that's nothing more than a canned sitcom with more sex and 'ho' references.

A snappily fun Mantrap Movie.

Few recent movies have conceived their central female character more contemptuously -- a fanatic for a lifestyle that appears to have come from the bestselling The Rules and someone who is obviously set up for a satiric fall.

We've seen this all before, and better.

Despite its hip veneer, there's something agreeably old-fashioned about this film.

The movie doesn't just hate women; it despises them.

Brown ... doesn't create satirical sex comedies so much as etiquette guides out of Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.

At least Two Can Play That Game has some wriggle in it.

I shudder at the thought of a 14-year old girl watching this film.

"Two Can Play That Game" has some amusing moments, showcases a terrific cast, but falters in real matters of the heart.

A cute little trifle that delivers on the good time it promises.

Anderson's and Mo'Nique's talents make Two Can Play That Game just amusing and light enough to be worth the trouble despite its often trite familiarity.

Even if [the film] is rather like a sitcom, it is like a really good sitcom. Think "Friends."

Brown has done a fine job with the script and direction in that everyone behaves realistically.

Fox gives her all and manages to rise above the material.

A feature-length movie demands a story, and this one barely has the substance of an anecdote.

It's got the kind of friskiness that makes you exchange glances with the stranger seated next to you because both of you know how many things it gets right about relationships.
