Think Like a Man brought Steve Harvey's relationship advice book to life with an all-star ensemble cast. Here's how to watch the romantic comedy series in order.

Inspired by Steve Harvey's bestseller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, the 2012 film follows a group of women who use the book's advice to gain the upper hand in their relationships, until their partners discover the book too. Directed by Tim Story, it features Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson, Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union, and Romany Malco. The ensemble returned for Think Like a Man Too, a sequel set during a chaotic wedding weekend in Las Vegas.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order lets you follow the couples from their first dates to the big wedding.

  1. Think Like a Man (2012)
  2. Think Like a Man Too (2014)

The sequel brings back the core cast and picks up their story a couple of years later, so the timeline flows naturally.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Think Like a Man Too follows the gang as they gather in Las Vegas for Michael and Candace's wedding, building on the relationships established in the first film. Story chronology and release order are the same.

  1. Think Like a Man (2012)
  2. Think Like a Man Too (2014)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch Think Like a Man first. Its battle-of-the-sexes setup introduces all the couples and their quirks, and many of the sequel's jokes depend on knowing where each relationship stands. Think Like a Man Too is a looser, party-style comedy driven by Kevin Hart's energy. If you enjoy ensemble comedies like these, Barbershop, Ride Along, and The Best Man are great choices.
