Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, I like that title. If you like it too, then check this out – according to the latest reports, we'll soon have a chance to watch a big screen adaptation of Steve Harvey‘s bestselling book of the same name!
Fantastic Four helmer Tim Story is in charge to direct the upcoming comedy, and at this moment we know that Little Fockers star Kevin Hart is set to take a leading role.
So, Kevin Hart will star as “self-professed relationship expert”, man who proceeds to lecture his friends and family even though his own marriage is crumbling.
According to Deadline, the production on the film is set to start this July, which actually means that it won't be long before we hear more details about the comedy.
In a meanwhile, here's a little description of the novel: “As a popular comedian, radio host and red-blooded male, Harvey doesn't have the bona fides typical to most women's relationship self-help, but he still manages a thorough, witty guide to the modern man.
Harvey undertakes the tast because “Women are clueless about men,” because “Men get away with a whole lot of stuff” and because he has “some valuable information to change all of that.” Harvey makes a game effort, taking a bold but familiar men-are-dogs approach: if you're “cutting back” on sex, “he will have another woman lined up and waiting to give him what he needs and wants–the cookie.”
Several chapters later, however, he introduces the “ninety-day rule,” asserting that, actually, he won't always have another woman lined up–and the only way to makes sure is a three-month vetting period.
Harvey also tackles mama's boys, “independent–and lonely–women,” and the matter of children in the dating world (“If he's meeting the kids after you decide he's the one, it's too late”). Feminists and the easily offended probably won't take to Harvey's blanket statements and blunt advice, but Harvey's fans and those in need of tough (but ticklish) love advice should check it out (especially the hysterical last-chapter Q&A).”
