Anderson's and Mo'Nique's talents make Two Can Play That Game just amusing and light enough to be worth the trouble despite its often trite familiarity.

Brown has done a fine job with the script and direction in that everyone behaves realistically.

| Original Score: B | Sep 10, 2001

It's got the kind of friskiness that makes you exchange glances with the stranger seated next to you because both of you know how many things it gets right about relationships.
