A snappily fun Mantrap Movie, as films about husband-hunting gals are known, is that rare hybrid of romantic comedy and Super Bowl.

In addition to the film's two extremely likable stars, the strong supporting cast features a who's who of rising African-American actors.

The movie does have charm and moments of humor, but what it doesn't have is romance.

The movie still manages to unearth laughs, some of them pretty big, especially once Shanté's program is under way.

Writer-director Mark Brown ruptures and restores the realism in this romantic comedy with ease, dispensing earnest wisdom with a little tongue in cheek instead of undermining it with a lot of irony.

A sassy romantic battle of the sexes with a refreshing African-American slant.

An endearing romantic comedy that pokes fun at the ridiculous things people do for love.

Women may appear a bit smarter here, but both sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly.

The best scenes are the ones that Fox shares with Tamala Jones, Wendy Raquel Robinson and the full-figured Monique as her sassy girlfriends. There's a ripe, crackling spontaneity when these women get together.

Along comes Two Can Play That Game to demonstrate that antifeminist silliness is color-blind.

Ultimately feels somewhat overprocessed, and its humor is a little too broad at times -- it probably crosses the acceptable threshold of penis and boob jokes.

There probably isn't another actress anywhere who could make that corny self-advertisement work. And there definitely isn't another actress who could make such an overbearing heroine worth watching for an hour and a half.

A likable, featherweight romantic comedy that hardly asks to be taken seriously, but its very triviality is, in some ways, quite significant.

The characters are so cartoonish, it's hard to care on any level -- except that it wastes such talented performers.
