Two Can Play That Game is a 2001 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Mark Brown and starring Vivica A. Fox and Morris Chestnut.
Shante Smith (Vivica A. Fox) is a woman who gives advice on how to keep a man in check. Her ideals are challenged when her man, an attorney, named Keith Fenton (Morris Chestnut), threatens to stray. Smith is a well-educated woman who feels that when it comes to men and their tricks, she knows them all.
On the other end, Shante’s boyfriend Keith is being led by his friend Tony (Anthony Anderson), who thinks he knows all the tricks that women play. When Shanté's boyfriend, Keith, is caught red-handed stepping out with a co worker, Shanté institutes her "Ten Day Plan" to get her man in line. The battle soon begins, though at the conclusion of the movie, Shante and Keith get back together.

They should do How to Be a Player next

[@KountryEJ910]

Already did it

[@dariand8100]

@@KountryEJ910 no they haven’t

[@FitnessHypes]

Facts classic film 🔥

[@jay2123ful]

Y'all should do breakin all the rules next.

[@FoxxSportzMedia]

I think y'all are misrepresenting who Keith is, he's the gameless dude that get chicks because of his looks and status. The reason why Anthony was giving him advice is because he's the cat that always pulled based on his game so Keith knows he can trust what he's telling him.

[@msblackloveful]

I'm sorry when you say you give something a one... that's saying it's a bad movie. You can't say it's not a bad movie but it's a one. Tony hates the movie for a reason he has not divulged to us.

[@DymondCityRydaz]

Because its not believable. A percentage of watching a fiction piece is suspending your disbelief. But bad writing can unravel that.

[@MarketingThusfar]

I love this podcast fr hopefully y’all do “deliver us from Eva”

[@MarketingThusfar]

Lol they said they would do it 😂 I just started watchin

[@joemadisonstudios]

This movie blew the spot up for Tone. He started off saying how he always work late and working late = is the main idea of the first three quarters of this movie. Dog house Tone 😂😂😂😂😂

[@KxNG_RxME]

This was one of the first movies I played on my PS2. Memories around this time, we had Deliver Us From Eva & Baby Boy, etc

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

Tone had some real disdain towards Shante's character lol 🤣🤣🤣.

[@princess20131]

This is one of my favorite movies! Monique had me in tears and Gabrielle Union's character Connie Spalding was everything!

[@roots1458]

Take a drink every time Tone says "I don't LIKE her!" You will be under the table.

[@copaseticarts9067]

Speaking of Anthony Anderson , YALL should do “King’s Ransom” & “Kingdom Come” two great black movies

[@copaseticarts9067]

& breakin all the rules ..

[@copaseticarts9067]

Yall gotta do the wash too

[@thegumbonetwork1421]

My lady and I just watched this a few weeks ago. We both agreed Shantae was toxic af.

[@StoneyJames]

Damn Trombone Tone shat all over this movie 😂😂

[@marquishaile8]

Well he's not wrong. Shante wasn't about shit to be quite honest

[@dwaynehaugabrook5780]

Great movie, great cast... overall a good time fiim.

[@montrellbrown9120]

It’s funny about that earthquake y’all had!!! lol I do the same thing y’all did when I feel one but when first moved out here 15 years ago, it scared the shit out of me!!!!

[@jodystar773]

The Movie is about a woman "Casanova" type, Shante is the one who knows what she's doing, not Keith. Keith is a good-looking man, but he's green

[@AyeBynum]

They should review the kingdom come movie next

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

I have not watched this movie in a minute. Fun Facts: Vivica A. Fox & Morris Chestnut were also on the forgotten short lived sitcom Out All Night. Vivica A. Fox, Tamala Jones & Anthony Anderson were also in Booty Call & Kingdom Come. Wendy Raquel Robinson & Bobby Brown were also in A Thin Line Between Love & Hate & Morris Chestnut & Gabrielle Union were also in The Brothers, Breakin All The Rules, The Perfect Holiday & Think Like A Man. Can we please get Blackbusters on the following rom coms: Booty Call Sprung Woo Brown Sugar Deliver Us From Eva Just Wright Jumpin The Broom

[@aTribeCalledBreast]

Anthony Anderson was not in Booty call

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@@aTribeCalledBreast I meant to say that Anthony Anderson was in Kingdom Come.

[@aTribeCalledBreast]

@@therealmarlonbellamy he was Jada's husband right?

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@@aTribeCalledBreast Yes

[@darius8l881]

They did brown sugar already

[@CoreyRossArt]

[@edwardstokes4209]

Its very possible it was the streaming copy y’all watched wasnt HD .

[@percyparker1750]

Podcast is dope. I wanna see yall do "Breakin the rules"

[@robertjames6632]

You should do the movie “Trippin” next

[@corey22beardable]

Remember that scene with the "transferring of negative energy"? That shit is real

[@heavybre]

Some Vivica A. Fox or Morris Chestnut movies y'all can review: Booty Call Why Do Fools Fall In Love Not Easily Broken Perfect Stranger

[@aisubjective]

They shot mid-earth quake real player LA type bihness 🤝🏾

[@chacolot1]

I didn't really care for this movie either. I always roll my eyes, when I see it on. Very unnecessary, I don't play games.

[@princeindisguise]

Waiting for the Barbershop to hit.

[@jeromeking3598]

Man this was a great review. I agree with tone on this review. It wasn't a bad movie at all. I think the execution and writing was not good. This movie came out when I was 17 going on 18, and even I was questioning some of the scenes like no this would not happen in reality. But I've watched the movie plenty of times because it's has a lot of comedic value, and I seen what they were doing at the core, but it was poorly executed. But with better writing this could have easily been a 4. But because it wasn't I gave it a 2.5.

[@caseyprice7505]

Keith just came across a new playbook he’d never seen before that’s all…his playa faculties started shuttin down lol ..Tony just tried to get his boy right haha…

[@titoclayton7170]

The three questions was the high school line cohise used

[@brettthomas6327]

Three fist✊✊✊ great comedy, good acting, Tone has to understand the WE ALL play games.

[@KountryEJ910]

Most female lead characters were toxic asf back then lol

[@luckyent1299]

Tone have Set It Off a 3….. so he grade on a bad curve lol

[@tonlow3204]

Yall should compare this movie with breaking all the rules

[@daron0188]

Man i love this show, but they missed so much. Life happens outside of LA

[@leetheaarceneaux8151]

Can you do Trespass, Deep Cover, Rage In Harlem , Ray and Bones ?

[@darrylewilliams6816]

I wanna see yall review Love Dont Cost A Thing , Deliver Us From Eva and Blue Streak

[@devontaecarter5851]

[@djsizzle9712]

Do A Thin Line Between Love and Hate next

[@JLEWIS18]

They already did that one

[@Sin-G]

This movie was the epitome of simpish culture in the 90s, but not a good movie at all. At the highlight of black films coming out like crazy in the late 90s and early 2Ks.

[@ShotbySirPat]

Yall should do Double Take

[@marquishaile8]

Mvp: Tony Lvp: shante boss Overreacting: Philip Thomas Younger me 2001 : 3 👊🏿 now: 2

[@Robj007]

How yall not know its Gabby Union as the bad chick? 😂😂😂😂. Love this podcast and review.

[@cedricwest1487]

That wasn’t Gabriel Union that he got caught dancing with

[@UdaamWright]

I think the whole point is that dudes take terrible advice from other dudes who have no business giving advice…

[@K3ZZI31]

Tone Was Tripping This Movie Was Funny x Fun..Nothing Serious But It’s Not A Terrible Movie..He Jus Got Called By His Ol Ladi x This Movie Jus So Happened To Expose His Ass😆Stop Haiting Tone💯💯‼️

[@CristaAnders]

[@RebelKingfrom1995]

Peak Vivica is Kill Bill

[@caseyprice7505]

Women can hit a brotha with a curve ball and have him acting all out of character and vice versa…why are we surprised it happened to Keith??? It happens to the best of em…

[@edwardstokes4209]

Brown did not direct booty call or Barbershop
