Can Cincinnati Bengals fans learn to love Chad Johnson again?
You'll be more seduced by the Manhattan setting than by the movie, but Will Smith in love is hard to resist. He stars as a "date doctor," who can whip any man into shape romantically. (Long-term relationships only; no "hits and quits" please.) Ironically, he can't follow his own advice when it comes to his romance with hot gossip columnist Eva Mendes.

Still, Smith is as charming as ever, and Kevin James scores points as a hapless, possibly hopeless client. Read the full Review
