I Think I Love My Wife
Claudia PuigIn I Think I Love My Wife, Chris Rock plays a bored suburban husband. In turn, the moviegoer is bored by this mundane take on marriage and infidelity.
The movie, full of wan gags and tedious situations, is directed blandly by Rock, who also co-wrote the script, a remake of the French-language Eric Rohmer film Chloe in the Afternoon. Noticeably lacking is the energy and edge of Rock's stand-up act.
Rock plays Richard, an investment banker with a nagging seven-year itch. He is married to Brenda (Gina Torres), who, by his own assessment, is a beautiful, intelligent woman and a devoted mother to their two children. But Richard is a man obsessed.
As he travels to and from work, he indulges in sexual fantasies fueled by the lack of intimacy ...
No story - Not funny
Chris Rock is mildly amusing three times, for three seconds a time, in this dull, predictable, tedius film. One plot, no sub plots and just goes on and on and on. Don't waste your time, unless you really, really have nothing better to do - like lick the road clean with your tongue!
I Think I Love My Wife
Kevin Crust My Wife is Chris Rock's most mature effort, and the most dated. Women don't come off terribly well in I Think I Love My Wife, writer-director Chris Rock's comedic "update" of the 1972 Eric Rohmer drama, Chloe in the Afternoon. It's not so much misogynistic as it resembles a fossil from another era.
As buttoned-down investment banker Richard Cooper, suffering from an acute case of the seven-year itch, Rock finds himself caught between his perfect if sexless wife, Brenda (Gina Torres), and an amoral temptress named Nikki (Kerry Washington). It's the old madonna/whore dichotomy.
The whole scenario feels dated, and not simply because it's a remake of a 35-year-old French movie. Richard's antecedents go back even further. Like the protagonist of Irwin...
