I think this movie was made to be a theater release and for some reason ended up on Lifetime. You can tell because of the bleeped out curse words and sexual content. Although I wish they toned it down a bit, it worked as a Lifetime TV movie. I think this movie was fun and relatable in some areas, but at times went a bit over the top/silly and unrealistic. The struggles with dating and trying to find a meaningful relationship were mostly genuine. I loved the relationship, support, and "keeping it real" between the girlfriends too. It also was good at showing women and men in different stages of their own relationships (dating, married, celibate, etc) and choices, sacrifices each made for love and their own integrity or values. The movie was predictable but the acting was good. There were some fun laugh out loud moments (laughing with you and laughing at you) and some "oooh, girl I've been there" moments, as well as a few cringe-worthy, "would someone really do that?", and "they could have left that out" moments. All in all, this is a cute chick flick you can cozy up to with a glass of wine or tub of ice cream on a night you find yourself dateless and home alone...In My Humble Opinion 6/10 stars. 2/2017

trubludiva10 January 2021I actually liked the movie. It was meant to be a funny, silly and sometimes over the top movie. I understood what the movie was meant to be. It had room for improvement but it was not bad in my opinion. Those saying it was horrible are being overly dramatic. This movie could've made it to the box office with a few tweaks here and there. I will always support "us" because when we don't it makes it harder for "us" to get financial backing for more movies that have the budget to make a bomb movie that is big screen ready.

BrettErikJohnson7 June 2018I certainly wasn't expecting much from a Lifetime movie about women trying to find romance. Not exactly an original topic to make a movie out of, right? However, the cast was perfect for this film and the writing was fresh and clever. It takes a lot for me to actually laugh out loud but this film had me cracking up quite a bit. Kellee Stewart really stood out. She walked the fine line between catty and sensitive with perfection.
It also impressed me with how it handled relationships and sexuality. It is obvious from reading a few of the childish reviews here that people still have a lot of growing up to do. To this day, many insist that there is no such animal as a bisexual man. They are all supposedly gays 'in denial'. Sheer ignorance. "Love by the 10th Date" handled that stereotype head on in a realistic and poignant fashion.
If you want a fresh take on trying to find love in the modern age, then I highly recommend watching this film. -
drip-141969 March 2017Just now seeing this movie and I created an account just so I could leave a review. It is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was cheesy, corny and cringe worthy. I can't believe they're still making movies like this in 2017. The way it ended, I hope there's not a sequel to it. The open marriage plot was dumb. And the coworker getting with a gay guy was absurd. Don't waste your time.

tisa-0107831 January 2017I usually like movies with Meagan Good, but this movie was totally stupid. She plays a character who's extremely desperate to find a man to the point where it totally consumes her. This is the reason so many women end up in horrible relationships. This movie relays one message loud and clear: if you're a woman without a man, you better start trying HARD to find one under any circumstances. Another example of why I gave this movie 1 star: This main character's coworker ends up dating and then marrying a man they met in a club. Just one problem! He's VERY gay! Now, I have absolutely no problem with men or women who are homosexuals, but why on earth would it be written into the script to have this woman marry a man who's so obviously gay??? This movie sends many very bad and condescending messages to women, and it's very unfortunate considering the times we're currently living in. I certainly wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless they're just bored and have lots of time to kill.

kiwifreund7 February 2021This is a movie that kind of touches on a lot of love and dating issues, not just the one central title issue. That definitely gives it value and depth. Everyone looks gorgeous, there's plenty of fun and a little bit of tears, exactly what you would expect from a rom-com.

griggsc7628 February 2022This movie, in my opinion, is ridiculous, cheesy, vapid, and was - ultimately - unwatchable. The entire "plot" is ridiculous and the acting is amateurish.
I hope Lifetime never replays it. 👎🏽 -
kayjean_f2 February 2017After watching the movie air on lifetime television, I've been watching it over and over again every night on the lifetime website. I've never hunted down a lifetime movie like I've done this one.I LOVE IT.Keep in mind that it is a comedy and It's funny, romantic, and full of Hope. I love Meagan good's character (Gabby) she's so carefree and full of life.
I love how they incorporated, current and real life situation such as characters Nell & Freddy's Straight/Bisexual relationship because this stuff really happens.
Although I do wish Meagan Good and Brandon T. Jackson's (Dante) character had more on screen romance, I feel like I didn't get to watch their bond grow as much as Gabby & Chris Kellerman's connection, so it made it hard to believe Dante & Gabby's deep deep love, but I love that the underdog prevailed.
I really hope a part 2 comes out because I am a huge fan. -
This movie is horrible. The relationship content is the worst, and so is some of the acting. And for anyone saying these relationship stories are real life to them, is even sadder. It screams desperation like another view mentioned, among other things. I'm even disappointed in Megan Good for directing this movie. I understand this is her field, but you telling me she can't do better than this?

somuchwonders27 April 2018I know I'm kinda late to the party but I'm going to say that this movie is the best ever that I rated it one star and no I won't stop with sarcasm, that's my life. I'm gonna say what's the point of this movie? Going on a date then quit your man because of your lovesick game? Well that's the point of this movie which my one star clearly loves so much. I rarely review but that's what I'm doing now, reviewing that awful movie. Copy of Think Like A Man, clearly should've been called Think Like A Man: The Sequel or anything of this sort.

FelicitySplecidy16 February 2018How many times are they going to do the can't find a man black movies. And they even used some of the same actresses from Think Like A Man...smh.
Predictable, cheesy, and cliche. The only thing different in this is that they put one of the women with a gay sorry "bi" man. So I gave 2 stars for that although it was somewhat disturbing.
Oh and at the end Meagan saying she enough yet got makeup caked up and hair straight to the bone...smh puh-lease -
christinasamaha28 April 2018Most of my favorite actors were in this movie it got me emotional and a laugh by the end of it it's simply super for comedy romance fans

imvaughn16 February 2021Thought the movie was really good. I think the only people who won't like it are people who take movies too seriously. It was a laid back funny movie about love. I saw a review that said the husband and wife scenario was too made up.. but I've seen many couples Hollywood and regular folks who go through this. Thought it was a good Netflix and chill couples night type movie..

robinsonl-9054731 January 2017I seen the movie as motivational and inspirational. I have many reasons! Okay! well women are not known to go after what they want. Sadly women are still til this day intimidated by the ones above them. Meagan Good's character was that way until she realized she's not going to wait for love she's going to search for it. Love doesn't always show up at your door step unknowingly. She embraced her worth with taking a huge step and chance with her job and she end up coming out on top because she realized she was worth it.
Keri Hilson's character I liked also because she knew what she wanted when she married her husband she wasn't ashamed to let her wants and likes to be known. She embraced herself as well. Women are known to put their feelings and wants on hold because of being ashamed of how something may seem to look to others.
As for Keller Stewart I liked her character as well. She showed that love is love it doesn't matter who you end up with. Humans are humans there's nothing wrong with having an attraction to both sexes. They fell for each other's hearts, minds, bodies and souls not the fact that one had dealt with both sexes prior. It's obvious her mate's character was just trying to find himself. I liked that it wanted people to see no one's life is perfect, nothing comes easy and life is all about taking chances hence the reason Meagan Good's character did what she did at the end of the movie regarding her job. -
ericaschwartz-0797626 August 2020I loved this film. I liked how each of these four girls who were friends went through different things in their relationship. I also loved the cast in this film, I loved how it was an all black cast of truly powerful women and they all played their roles well

thecuracaoleangirl19 February 2019Whenever you see a black people movie, that must be funny asf! But Keri Hilson, Kelly Rowlan and Meagan Good? #AMAZING just amazing. I was laughing the whole movie, I loved it!

pinks199231 January 2017I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, because it was not only hilarious but mimicked the ups and downs of a girl's real life. I was surprised to find myself laughing out loud at scenes. I don't think I knew just how funny Meagan Good could be and the women's facial expressions were on point. The problem the married couple had was a bit contrived but I feel people will be able to relate to the other situations on some level. My friends and I have been pining for films that we can relate to and this is one. I think it should have been a theater release. Glad to finally see movies that don't clown our lives and also feature beautiful African American women who are successful and realistic.
