Leave your thoughts about I Think I Love My Wife.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightA film that expends all of its energy canceling itself out ... The flopsweat could be measured in gallons. |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellSuffering through Wife actually makes you miserable. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThis is not a date film, nor is it a chick flick. I'm not sure who it's for,but it's probably not you. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinThe 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. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA truly universal comedy about relationships that's worth more than a few laughs regardless of your race, gender or marital status. |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfWife is profane, awkward, and sprinkled with a strange racial subtext; basically the cinematic equivalent of Rock himself. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinAs 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. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyDirected and written by the talented comic, the movie suffers from the overblown notes of a punch-line-driven routine. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottMr. Rock has not only done his best work as a director and screenwriter but has also made an unusually insightful and funny mainstream American movie about the predicaments of modern marriage. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWhat is missing in depth and philosophical intent is compensated for with humor and humanization. |
