User Reviews

girls vs guys

This movie is about the guys turning the table on the girls, getting caught, then the makeup. So, a group of female friends are taking advice from a relationship book on how to act around a certain guy. Like is he a moma's boy, does he have ambition, does he have a career, the 90 day rule. They go on dates and are puzzles to the guys till the guys discover Steve Harvey's book and realize the girls are reading it and there are chapters based on each of their situations. So the guys start taking the advice of the book and doing what the book says. The girls think they have met their dream guys until they find out the guys are reading the book too. Of course, all of the couples think they really like each other and smooth everything over at the end.

FINAL VERDICT: OK , best for a girls night flick.
