Amazon.com:
Chris Rock's loose remake of 1972's Chloe In the Afternoon, the latter an entry in French New Wave genius Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales cycle, is a half-silly, half-starchy adult comedy about a buttoned-up money manager, Richard Cooper (Rock), whose staid life at home has worn down his sexual vitality. With two kids and a somewhat joyless wife (Gina Torres), Richard's mind wanders on the job, on the train, virtually anywhere a restless husband can spot beautiful, unattainable women. Still, no harm done, until old friend Nikki (Kerry Washington) shows up in his office, wanting his support and counsel and friendship every minute over subsequent weeks. The two stay out of the sack, which makes it possible for them to be honest with one another. Nikki criticizes Richard for being in what appears to be a loveless relationship, bled dry of passion. Richard calls out Nikki for being flighty, unwilling to commit to anything.
As the relationship wears on, Richard's world is upended, and the havoc takes a toll on his family life and productivity. It's at this point where the film, co-adapted for the screen and directed by Rock, paints itself into a corner, with few interesting alternatives for a way out of Richard's dilemma that feel authentic or, for that matter, funny. A Viagra-inspired visual joke (gee, hard to imagine what that could be) is a crass gift to audience members growing suspicious that Rock has lured them into a chick flick. A soul duet between Rock and Torres appears out of nowhere and throws the emotional balance off at a crucial moment. This kind of thing makes one wonder how seriously Rock took his own project, yet there are signs that he--a very funny and intelligent talent--has a different kind of movie in him. Jokes about Michael Jackson, race, and even racially-slanted comedy are peppered throughout I Think I Love My Wife, harmless distractions in context, yet suggestive of a different kind of movie satire waiting to come out of Rock. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating: - I can't believe it
Despite being a horrible script and witnessing the worst acting I've seen in years, this movie still pulled off to be quite charming. I don't know why, I was quite prepared to hate this movie. Still, I caught myself smiling. Check it out for yourself.
Rating:  - What's in a title?
I wonder why this movie wasn't more successful. I think that if the title was narrowed down to something a bit shorter that wouldn't take the complete DVD cover when translated into German might've been a better idea. A title centered on Kerry Washington, who plays Nikki -- the goddess/seductress and menace/heroine in Richard's (Chris Rock) boring life. How about Lingerie Wars or Tempted by Lust? Better yet: Maneater. That'll get people to see the movie, not Chris Rock. And that's just too bad, because ... Read More
Rating:  - funny, realistic and insightful !!
I loved the movie! Chris Rock did a great job directing it. It was funny especially the viagra scene, everytime I watch it i laugh till I can't laugh no more!! It's so easy to relate to his character; although I'm female. Kerry Washington as nikki did a fantastic job!! charming sexy mischevious...just fun!! And of course Mr.Rock was funny as always but he didn't overdo it which sometimes comedians tend to do in their movies. It was perfect and i will recommend it to all my friends.
Rating: - Good Moral But Too Much Foul Language
I did like the moral of this movie, which is fidelity in a marriage is a choice. The main male character, Richard, is a good husband and father who is going about his normal life when an old fried (and hot woman) Nikki shows up at his work. She represents the question that all married people have to deal with at some point in marriage: is the grass greener on the other side? Brenda, his wife, isn't having sex with him (and I do feel sorry for him for that), but she is busy and tired at the end of the ... Read More
Rating: - Your Take Will Depend on Your Experiences
First of all, I watch movies for entertainment and not to offer my personal approval for handing out Oscars OK? If 90 minutes are that critically important to you, then you should only watch what the professional critics tell you to watch...oh and in that case, get used to reading subtitles! Some of the best movies that I have seen more than once were not critically acclaimed (sometimes quite the contrary). Some of the worst movies that I have seen were critically acclaimed.
