While Think Like a Man is quite memorable for being an ensemble play, it is the unrecognized performances of women like Taraji P. Henson that cut through the heart of the work. Henson plays Lauren here, a rather sensible career woman drawn into a player's games on love, comedy, and emotional seriousness blending in fluid harmony. It is based on Steve Harvey's self-help book, but Henson's nuanced performance turns the story away from its assumptions and into a level of realism that infuses so much relatability into the rom-com formula.
