I haven't seen 'Chloe in the Afternoon' but as a stand-alone, 'I Think I Love My Wife' made me laugh on numerous occasions. As writer and director, Chris Rock knows how to work comedy. The jokes work effectively. The film has some hilarious lines delivered with excellent comic timing.However, it is the writing in the story development and the characterization (of the two women) that suffers. I felt that the ending was rushed and the sudden happy ending where all problems are solved just didn't seem believable. Also, the problems in Richard and his wife's marriage aren't fully explored. As for the two women characters, while we only see them mostly through Richard's point of view, they seem to lack in dimension. Brenda is pretty much the typical housewife and Niki is the typical seductress.Despite this, both Gina Torres and Kerry Washington perform wonderfully. Torres especially does well with the comedy (her 'duet' with Rock at the end had me laughing out loud) and Washington oozes sensuality (I could stare at her for hours if I had the time). They share great chemistry with Rock. Steve Buscemi provides fine support. At first I thought he'd be cast as a typical (token white) friend but he's anything but typical and a delight to watch. Rock is quite restrained and suitably so. His character is far less wacky compared to the roles he's known for but he still makes you laugh when necessary.Despite its shortcomings, Rock has made an entertaining funny film. It's a good date movie. Rock can definitely guarantee laughs.

This film was unfairly panned in my opinion, probably because most people were expecting a comedy. However, 'I Think I Love My Wife' is an effective drama based on Eric Rohmer's 'Chloe in the Afternoon'. Chris Rock successfully sheds his comic persona to play a suburban middle class executive who finds himself straying from his dull married life. Despite occasional missteps, the film uncannily captures a common male viewpoint and feels close to reality. It works as a gentle cautionary drama with some comic asides. Some of the humor is crass and the conclusion feels rushed. Still watchable.Overall 7/10

I have to admit that this film was better than the 7 Year Itch. It tells the story of a guy who is bored with his marriage and begins seeing a woman, a girl he knew from his high school years. Though nothing happens between them, his meetings with her, especially when she comes up to the office, begins to affect his work and his marriage.I found this film insulting to black people when Kerry Washington (the girl he rediscovers) will ask him if he is married, has children or children out of wedlock. She refers to marriage with children as that white thing. Am shocked that black people don't find this offensive.Naturally, he follows her to Washington in a near mad cap escapade and is almost ready for a sexual tryst with her, when common sense and decency prevails.Is this the true caliber of sexual mores and trysts in our society? Methinks not.

I have seen worse movies then this before, but all of those movies did not star Chris rock, but rather carrot top. for an amazing comedian like Rock to make such a watered down attempt at romantic comedy, is down right insulting. Chris Rock needs to get back to his roots, because if he stays on the current path, he will turn into carrot top... and no one wants that. This is like George Carlins attempt in the early 90's to have a Fox TV series, the only difference being that Carlin is still funny, while it appears that rock is in the process of completely burning out. in Summation DO NOT WATCH this movie unless you are ready for a horrible letdown.
