Too bad the central character is someone you wouldn't want to spend five minutes with, let alone an hour and a half.

Reviews for I Think I Love My Wife
Surprisingly mature.
03/16/07
Rock's so-so temptation comedy earns its R rating.
11/01/07
It may be cruel to say it, but there's also no getting around the fact that Rock doesn't have the charisma to hold this thing together. He's great at stand-up, and not bad in supporting roles, but he simply doesn't have the stature of a leading man.
03/15/07
Saddled with the weight of an unfocused, cliché-ridden script, a tiresome voice-over narration that drones on and on, and acting by Rock that's as wooden as Pinocchio, I Think I Love My Wife staggers in predictable circles for 94 long minutes.
03/16/07
Top CriticOne 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.
03/16/07
Top CriticI Think I Love My Wife slogs through drama and comedy as though both were a duty as onerous as a sexless marriage. Rarely do characters display anything approaching logic, unless their 180-degree turnarounds are part of a geometry proof.
03/16/07
Top CriticI Think I Love My Wife is mainly just another Chris Rock routine, tied up in a fancier, more adult bow.
03/16/07
The movie could have used some energy overall and possibly an ending that makes sense.
03/16/07
A roly-poly CBS sitcom, only with more liberal use of the f-word.
09/27/07
I'm sure Rock meant well, but the next time he feels the urge to improve upon the French, he should try his hand at baguettes.
03/22/07
Neither stylistically innovative nor particularly entertaining.
03/31/07
Chris Rock is a brilliant comedian. Too bad he's not a brilliant director and actor as well.
03/16/07
Here's a French sex comedy starring Chris Rock. Yes, really -- Chris Rock.
04/17/07
Rock's defining comic characteristic is his no-nonsense honesty, tackling awkward issues head-on with bold, hostile, uproarious insights. Playing a milquetoast, he's tossed away his best weapon.
03/16/07
Top CriticPootie Tang was spikier and funnier
08/27/09
Women don't come off terribly well in I Think I Love My Wife, writer-director Chris Rock's comedic 'update' of the 1972 Eric Rohmer drama, Chloe in the Afternoon. It's not so much misogynistic as it resembles a fossil from another era.
03/15/07
Top CriticThe off-color humor and R-rated language seems an attempt to reach out to his fan base, but in all, this attempt at "realistic" comedy never seems funny or emotionally insightful enough to matter.
03/16/07
Top CriticA truly universal comedy about relationships that's worth more than a few laughs regardless of your race, gender or marital status.
03/16/07
Despite a few snappy one-liners, the film and its humor are episodic and unfocused.
