I Think I Love My Wife Movie Review
If Eric Rohmer isn't dead, he'll wish he was. "I Think I Love My Wife" is a ridiculously incongruous take on the French classic "Chloe in the Afternoon" and attempts to delve into subjects such as love and temptation, but fails miserably at nearly everything it sets out to achieve. A laugh-less comedy, an unmoving drama, and a ragtag assemblage of pathetic dialogue fused with feeble characters, "I Think I Love My Wife" is an absolute wreck in every conceivable way. <

>Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) is married and has two adorable children. But he is bored with his generic family life and senselessly deprived of sex with his wife Brenda (Gina Torres). Despite a bank job that he enjoys, and meaningless sessions with an unmarried marriage councilor, he can't help but ogle every attractive woman he passes. When an old friend, Nikki, (Kerry Washington) shows up to his office one day, looking absolutely gorgeous and making not-so-subtle passes at him, he must decide whether a passionate affair might solve some of his problems or increase them tenfold...after all, he does love his wife...or so he thinks. <

>Dealing with interesting topics of promiscuity, desire, true love and temptation, "I Think I Love My Wife" somehow failed to evoke any emotion, relation or even pity-laughs from the audience. Loosely based on Eric Rohmer's "Chloe in the Afternoon", this new adaptation is a despicable jumble of genres, none decidedly prominent. At first it feels as though with his exclusive creative control, Chris Rock, who writes, produces and directs, will sculpt the film into a showcase for his offbeat and loudmouthed standup comedy routines, but this is quickly superseded by scene after scene of uninspiring drama. What would normally play out as a form of dramedy is overly pocked by soap opera antics and asinine scenarios. While most of it is all done in the hopes of stirring up a few laughs, the humor is blasé and alternates between bland standup one-liners and arid TV sitcom situations. <

>It's a little misleading to see the likes of Chris Rock in a film like this. From the trailers and the familiarity of his style of comedy, I would have figured this film to be a no-holds barred comedy riot. And frankly that's all I want to see him in. When Jim Carrey and Robin Williams crossed into the realm of serious acting, I couldn't imagine appreciating their roles and most of them failed to be successful. Similarly with Rock, I really only want to watch him do what he does best; and that certainly isn't directing a classic drama rehash. Could anyone else have pulled off an ambitious attempt like this? Maybe not, but poor Rock makes his attempt look premature, ill-planned and disastrous. <

>At several points throughout the film the plot drags and feels like it is avidly driving down the road to nowhere. This was one of the longest 90 minute films I have ever seen. So many scenes and characters felt out of place; the only noteworthy performance was that of Steve Buscemi. One of the most popular character actors of our time, Buscemi has popped up in countless films and is always recognizable, unique and memorable. Most of his characters are offbeat and bizarre, but always appealing. Almost no other characters are present for comedy relief, which was greatly lacking in a film with such a humorless premise and lead characters who couldn't squeeze any laughter from the viewers. When the conclusion involves breaking out into farcical lip syncing to a familiar song, you'll have wished you walked out an hour earlier. <

>It's funny that only a few years ago Chris Rock heckled Jude Law at the Oscars for making too many movies. With this film it appears Rock has made one too many. Unworthy tributes, ill-conceived gags, and confusingly juxtaposed genres force "I Think I Love My Wife" to play out like a mid-life crisis that will strain the fragile threads of audiences' attention spans and decency meters, while simultaneously urging the contemplation "I Think I Should Walk Out Of This Movie." Even die-hard Chris Rock fans may want to skip this languid film equivalent of tripe - it can be used, but only after everything else already has been. <
