Well known syndicated radio morning talk show host, Steve Harvey wrote a book titled "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" and it had serious repercussions when four men conspired to get even with their respective women after discovering their ladies have been using the advice given in Harvey's book against them in their relationships. Men seem to forever be in the "fixing" business and don't talk about their issues where as women want to talk it out, and talk some more. This movie is about why the independent spirit in women must be reconnected with the "girl" in each of them so they can make the men in their lives feel necessary. And about talking too much! Men are action oriented and "doers" while women tend to over analyze the details. Armed with plenty of advice from Steve Harvey's book, the women "guide" their men-folk into doing what they should have done to begin with. Fun and a lot lest complicated than it sounds.tarring Kevin Hart (Not Easily Broken, Superhero Movie), Michael Ealy (Seven Pounds, Takers), Chris Brown (Make it Happen, Dance Flick), Meagan Good (Jumping the Broom, The Unborn), Taraji P. Henson (Person of Interest, Eli Stone), and Arielle Kebbel (90210, Marcy).

Joe" Joseph Colton, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (The Other Guys) now plays Roadblock, Channing Tatum (The Dilemma, Ten Year) returns as Duke, and Adrianne Palicki (Women in Trouble, Pop Star) joins in to portray Lady Jaye. s in the first film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra from 2009, the sci fi flick is based on the original G.I. Joe toys and comic books many grew up enjoying for generations.

So when a Middle East Sheik who is passionate about fly fishing for salmon brings up his dream of making that dream come true in the dry deserts of the Middle East, he goes to Jones for help. What sounds like an outlandish request is actually doable with dams and lots of financial backing (which the Sheik definitely has in abundance). Director Lasse Hallström (Water for Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) goes a bit overboard with the clichéd "swimming against the time" but the film is well worth watching.tarring Ewan McGregor (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Angels & Demons) as Dr. Alfred Jones, Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Gulliver's Travels) is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot a management consultant for the salmon fishing enthusiastic Sheik, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Confessions of a Shopaholic) plays Bridgett Maxwell. There wasn't any bridging of diplomatic relations during the filming of this movie, just an entertaining story well acted out.
