Plot: Actor/comedian Chris Rock directs and stars in this American remake of Eric Rohmer' s classic French comedy Chloe in the Afternoon. Richard Cooper (Rock) is a high-powered investment banker with a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Though on the surface it would appear that Richard could want nothing more out of life, his thoughts always seem to drift toward sex. Whether it's during his daily commute into the city, his endless barrage of meetings, or even his downtime changing diapers at home, Richard's mind is constantly preoccupied by fantasies about the women he sees on the commuter train, on the city streets, and in the boardroom. Richard's daily life has gradually devolved into a blur of mind-numbing banality, and these days sexual fantasy has become his sole means of escaping the constant pressures of work and fatherhood. Though Richard never had any real intention of cheating on his faithful but preoccupied wife Brenda (Gina Torres), a chance run-in with his old friend Nikki (Kerry Washington) -- a drop-dead gorgeous stunner who appears at his office door one day seeking career advice from the successful banker -- finds his steely resolve fast turning flimsy. It's not long before the smitten Richard and the smoldering Nikki are meeting for clandestine lunches, and temptation begins to turn Richard's once-predictable life upside down. As his uncontrollable fantasies begin to lead him down the dangerous path of infidelity, the man who once kept his libido safely in check finds it increasingly difficult to refrain from acting on his impulses. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This film was awesome!!! I would like to see more movies like this on a couple/relationship basis... I think everyone should give this movie a chance.. some of the reviews gave this movie a tough review... It was a nice, peaceful movie about marriage and the things men/women go through.. Go ahead give it a chance and have an open mind.. five stars from me because it sheds light on what men/women really do go through in some marriages/relationships... Enjoy! It really is a five star movie.. it showed the truth.... Chris Rock did an awesome job with this one.. Can't wait to see more from him! Keep doing a great job!!! P.S I love the way this movie ended.. It would be nice if more people throught this way... And realized what they already have....

genius
Added 2/17/2009

This film, and I am calling it a film, understand, not a "movie," which would throw it into the congealed mass of lumpen-entertainments designed to morph the unsuspecting and perhaps even unconcerned consumer into a soul-dead android who veers spastically between somnambulistic acquiesence to the jackhammer-like abuse meted out to him by his hollywooden overlords and incoherent fits of hideous violence punctuated by the retching of his so-called "opinions," is, to put it simply, an unmitigated jewel....a work of uparallelled genius that we, my friends, simply DO NOT DESERVE TO SEE. It urges us toward the sublime and we stand naked and hopeless before it.

You'd have to be black to follow this humor
Added 11/27/2008

It was a decent movie with quite a few laughs. Of course something like this would never happen in real life (a sexy woman comes on to a black man and he refuses [?!?!]), but it was interesting to see the treatment of how something like this *might* have gone down if it actually happened in real life.

Chris Rock's first movie, which we can try to take seriously
Added 9/18/2008

In this relatively unnoticed comedy about family (not necessarily for family in this case) life and the problems that many may face when the lust and thrill in a relationship goes stale, The sometimes halarious Chris Rock goes to work in his first feature film. Chris Rock stars as a succesful businessman in Manhatten, with a wonderful wife and two cute children. What went wrong? The love in the marriage was fading and life for him is clearly not the fun crazy life that it was in his early days.
Then an old yet still young lady friend bumps into him and the cherished days seem tangible, and what do you know, she's still in the game. Entranced by her sexiness and livliness. What is Chris to do? Well, I'll tell you that this is a refreshing imprint on the smoky times that comedy is going through, and is worth a look, maybe even a peak.
