- 70Washington PostStephen HunterWashington PostStephen HunterThe movie is hilarious...there's Rock's encounter with Viagra, which I can't describe but has to be one of the funniest scenes of the decade.
- 67The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasThough hampered at times by Rock's limitations as an actor and a director, I Think I Love My Wife stays faithful to the spirit of Rohmer's original, grappling honestly with the uncertainties of settling down and the temptations that lurk outside even the most stable marriages.
- 63New York Daily NewsJack MathewsNew York Daily NewsJack MathewsFor each joke that is fresh, there are at least three that fall thuddingly flat. Rock suffers a problem common to comedians moving from sketches to features; he hasn't quite been able to get his performance level above caricature. To his credit, he's made more of this than you'd expect from the lame premise.
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe results fall short of the grown-up comedy about seven-year itches it could've been, asking the Hamlet-like question: to scratch or not to scratch?
- 50VarietyBrian LowryVarietyBrian LowryThe main drawback is that under director Rock, actor Rock doesn't possess quite the chops to pull off this character, and the humor and flights of fancy are simply too low-key.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumI Think I Love My Wife has got to be the unlikeliest French New Wave classic ever to be retrofitted by a famous African-American stand-up comedian best known for his stinging social commentary -- at least until Dave Chappelle remakes Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" as a hip-hop caper.
- 50Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyPhiladelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyA movie that provokes as many rueful sighs as it does bruising laughs.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttIn I Think I Love My Wife, Chris Rock does something entirely unexpected. He isn't funny.
- 38Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanAttaching Chris Rock to I Think I Love My Wife is like chaining a Kentucky Derby winner to the merry-go-round in a petting zoo. His humor is hobbled, his personality dulled, his energy depleted. Who's responsible for this lapse in judgment? Chris Rock.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceRock capably directs a screenplay graced with one or two chuckles ("You stare at a soccer mom too long and they'll post your name on the Internet") and soured by a whole lot of misogyny.
