Nicely done romantic comedy

Warning: Spoilers
This is a neat little romantic comedy that is based on the battle of the sexes when the man sorta steps out a bit one night and there is plenty of plotting to see who suffers the consequences. What really works here is a technique that is not always done well in films -- the main character "narrating" the story line.

Vivica Fox plays the professional woman who gives the audience advice on how to keep a man (attorney Morris Chestnut) at heel. Chestnut, however, is being coached by his colleague (Anthony Anderson) as to how to take charge of the situation. As you might guess, they do reconcile, but how they get to that point is all the fun.

Vivica A. Fox, who I can take or leave depending on the production, does very nicely here. Morris Chestnut displays a real talent for light comedy here; frankly, he's one of my favorites, although I usually think of him more in terms of dramas. A real plus is the best friend Anthony Anderson...funny as heck here, but also at his pudgiest! It ain't Shakespeare, but it's a fun and entertaining film that's all in good taste.
