I Think I Love My Wife (2007): Dir: Chris Rock / Cast: Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, Gina Torres, Steve Buscemi, Edward Herrmann: Here is a romantic comedy that many may relate too about decisions, choices and conflict. It stars Chris Rock as an investment banker whose marriage is going stale and he desires other women. Then Nikki arrives in town and temptation sets in. It follows predictable formula but director Rock pays off with themes regarding marriage and temptation. He also succeeds as a frustrated family man struggling with the possibility of infidelity. He yearns for the forbidden because his wife is too obtainable. Kerry Washington plays the vixen he is fixated on. We know certain things will occur but it is how Rock handles it that make it unique. Gina Torres plays his wife who will give the obvious reaction to Rock's drifting but she plays the role with intelligence and down to earth. Unfortunately Steve Buscemi as a co-worker who cheats on his wife is underused. In one particularly funny sequence he lends Rock Viagra pills resulting in serious consequences. A success for Rock about the importance of honesty in relationships as well as the envy of a new forbidden thrill of outside flings. It proves that he can lend his comedic talents to an insightful theme that indicates his observant view of relationships. Married couples may love this film. Score: 8 ½ / 10

This movie was really good. I have seen it on at least three occasions, and each time I am tearing up with laughter. I find it very easy to relate to, very real, and a good mix of serious story and good old fashioned comedy.The characters played by the various actors in the show were pretty much nailed, with Chris Rock, his wife, his best friend at work, the interested admirer, her ex ... they were all good.The interaction between the characters was really very well portrayed as well. It really is a good lesson for the young career man, how to conduct yourself when confronted with temptation, and the troubles you can find yourself in.Many of the quotes are priceless.Top stuff, a must watch. I can't wait to have an excuse to watch it again soon.

To start off with I'd think I'd have to disagree with most of the public here, I think it deserved more around a 6.5 point average on IMDb. I'm a comedy lover, and so when I heard about this movie I had to watch it and it exceeded my expectations after the movies I've seen recently, it was a great movie, great but not there amongst the best nor deserving a spot in the Top 250. Basically what it boils down to in my opinion is that if you like comedy movies, movies with a moral, or movies involving relationships then i say go for this movie, or if your just bored and have time on your hands then this will be a good way to spend some of it.

The suburban middle class investment banker and family man Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) has been married for eight years with his wife Brenda (Gina Torres) and they have two children. Their marriage is in crisis due to the lack of sex, and Richard is feeling completely bored and dreaming on having sex everywhere with other women. When his sexy single friend Nikki Tru (Kerry Washington) that he has not seen since he was single stumbles in his office in Manhattan asking for a recommendation letter for a job, Chris has lots of fun with her, but he omits her visit to Brenda. Nikki visits Richard on the next afternoons, jeopardizing his position and making Richard rethink about his choices in life."I Think I Love My Wife" is an entertaining movie about a universal situation – the change of the sexual life between couples after years of marriage. Kerry Washington is extremely sexy and is perfect in the role of the smart single girl that uses her friendship seeking for fun. It is very pleasant to see the scenes with this gorgeous actress. Chris Rock plays a silly suburban character that fights for not cheating his wife. However the situations are inconsistent since Richard does not have sex with his wife and has daydreams with women; and when he meets a woman like Nikki he does not have sex with her? Brenda, performed by Gina Torres, is an unpleasant character with her denial of having sex. The moralist conclusion, with Richard and Brenda singing, is simply awful. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Acho Que Amo Minha Mulher" ("I Think I Love My Wife")
