The writer of How To Be A Player turns a hilariously candid eye toward the complex and comical issues of dating, relationships and the ongoing battle between the sexes; featuring a happening and sexy cast including Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day, Booty Call), Morris Chestnut (The Brothers, The Best Man), Anthony Anderson (Big Momma's House, Exit Wounds) and Gabrielle Union (The Brothers, Bring It On, Love And Basketball). Shante Smith (Fox) is a beautiful advertising executive who seems to have her life--and her man--completely under control. Her relationship with Keith (Chestnut), a handsome lawyer, is the envy of her friends, until one night when the girls stumble upon Keith at a nightclub with another woman. Now Shante is forced to launch her "10 Day Plan" to get her man back in line, save face with her friends and climb back on top of her strained relationship.
"Fox is winning as the charmingly conniving Shante." Claudia Puig, USA Today
"A likable...romantic comedy..." A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Editor's Note
Shanté (Vivica A. Fox), a glamorous advertising executive, is a heroine to all her girlfriends. She's the one they turn to for relationship advice--Shanté seems to have all the answers when it comes to romance and understanding men. So when she catches her boyfriend Keith (Morris Chestnut) seeing another girl, Shanté will stop at nothing to win back his affections and her own pride. She decides to implement a 10-day plan to eliminate her competition and get her man to mend his cheating ways. As she puts her plan into action, she speaks directly to the camera, very analytically talking us through every trick in the relationship bag. Shanté will "accidentally" run into Keith with a gorgeous Other Man; she'll ignore his phone calls; she'll even seduce him and then cruelly walk out before the deed is done. Problem is, Keith doesn't fall for Shanté's games, and instead he gives her a taste of her own medicine. His friend Tony (Anthony Anderson), who is almost as strategic and savvy as Shanté, is advising Keith behind the scenes. This self-conscious tale of conniving, manipulative modern love hearkens back to the film director Mark Brown wrote in 1997, HOW TO BE A PLAYER.
