Consensus: Chris Rock's comedic instincts are muted and the female characters are unsatisfactorily drawn in this uneven sex farce/domestic drama mashup.
Theatrical Release:Mar 16, 2007 Wide
Box Office: $12,441,752
Synopsis: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE alum Chris Rock writes, directs, and stars in I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE. Rock's film is a remake of the 1972 Eric Rohmer film, CHLOE IN THE AFTERNOON, which explores a married... [More]
Starring: Kerry Washington, Gina Torres, Chris Rock, Edward Herrman
Director: Chris Rock
There are some raucous set pieces and a lot of frank, jokey talk about sex, but I Think I Love My Wife is not after crude or easy hilarity, and Mr. Rock works hard to hold his aggressive, irrepressible comic personality in check.
Top CriticRock’s breakthrough as a director -- a chance for him to grapple openly with his status as a maturing (but still ostensibly immature) comedian.
A sophisticated look at the tedium of an old marriage and the temptation of a new love that marks a maturing of his humor without any attendant dulling of [Rock's] cutting-edge causticity. (Start taking notes, Eddie Murphy.)
This might be the worst date movie of all time.
A truly universal comedy about relationships that's worth more than a few laughs regardless of your race, gender or marital status.
An entertaining look at a marriage that has become too routine.
One of the best things about I Think I Love My Wife is that the film takes the time to develop the three principals beyond the stereotypes that underlie the characters.
Top CriticSurprisingly mature.
Rock's version is funnier, blacker, hipper, and sexier, but Rohmer's shows a little more skin.
Says all the poignant things that Rock manages to say so well in his comedy act, but does it with more finesse and charm.
I Think I Love My Wife is mainly just another Chris Rock routine, tied up in a fancier, more adult bow.
Here's a French sex comedy starring Chris Rock. Yes, really -- Chris Rock.
I Think I Love My Wife is a surprisingly grown-up film. With only a minimum of gross-out humor - which may disappoint his fans - it gives us an adult take on relationships and a take the younger film audience may not be willing to hear.
Top CriticThere’s a lot to recommend here, and it’s a stepping stone to even more impressive work from Chris Rock.
Top CriticRock finally provides hope he will develop into a genuine force on the big screen. The script is sharp and quick, and Rock's direction is sure-handed and occasionally inspired. He gives us a workday New York that feels real.
Top CriticAs uneven as I Think I Love My Wife often is, it still has an emotional resonance lacking in most films about relationships. By dealing with temptation in even a quasi-realistic way, it affirms that, like comedy, monogamy is hard.
Top CriticOne of the film's key revelations is that his resistance to having an affair comes as much from wishing to maintain his lifestyle (the high-paying job, the nice house, the kids) as from loyalty to his wife. Why sharp observations like that one would need
I Think I Love My Wife is first and foremost a sex comedy. But Rock is sharp enough to set it in a world where people of all races share the same dreams and desires -- if not the same real estate.
Top CriticThe movie is hilarious. ...There's [Rock's character's] encounter with Viagra, which I can't describe but has to be one of the funniest scenes of the decade and should easily push the movie over the $100 million mark by Week 3.
Top CriticAll good stuff. Rock delivers some laugh-out-loud lines, Washington is sexy and dangerous, Torres makes her character something more than a frigid harpy, and the workplace scenes are well-played.
