Two Can Play That Game (2001)
Cute, entertaining
Just saw this movie on Family Channel last night. Interesting that it was on Family, but oh well. Not a deep movie, really just one plot - romance. Lighthearted and fun. The acting was pretty good, the scenes moved well - I liked the narrative from Shante, speaking to the audience. Not familiar with these actors, but thought they all did a good job.
One cliché - the buxom, feisty girlfriend. She was good, and clichés do exist. Not too much detail about the girlfriends and their lives, they seemed more like props. But this wasn't a deep movie with multiple plots. They served their purpose well. Oh, another cliché - the Chinese man delivering an order. But that's a reality, too.
There were some great lines. Some good writing. Good job, Mark Brown. One line that stands out: "You play more games than the NBA." (something similar) Wish I could remember the others! Hope this writer is writing more.
I don't watch a lot of movies ... just stumbled upon this one. It was good to have a movie with all the principals being African-American.
I'm not African-American (Caucasian), so I can't relate to some nuances. But romance is romance, regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. We've all been there!!!
