I Think I Love My Wife

Finally! A smart African-American romantic comedy that doesn't disappoint because it has something genuine to say about long-term relationships. Even though the following statement will not say a lot, I am proud to say it: I've never seen Chris Rock so mature in a role... ever. I actually loved him in this movie because he played a real, conflicted husband who just happens to be going through a marriage problem, not just some fool that babbles on and on. Another way this is different from most romantic comedies out there is that this is a story about an African-American family that explicitly tries to integrate itself into the white, dominant society. I found that to be honest because I know families like that. It moved me because it reminded me that we are still living in a world where nothing is really fully accepted. It's so refreshing (and an honour) to view a film like this one. Kudos to all the actors and filmmakers of this movie.
