'I Think I Love My Wife' (R) (out of four)

Chris Rock is one of those guys that dares to be different. The great thing about watching Rock, either doing his stand up or in a full-length feature film, is that he's never afraid to take a risk.

While his new film "I Think I Love My Wife" isn't without its foibles, including some serious stereotyping, Rock manages to tell a great story that today's audience can relate to. Rock stars as Richard Cooper, a supposedly happily married man who has it all: nice wife, cute kids, great job and a perfect suburban house. There's only one problem, and it's a biggie: Cooper is bored, bored, bored.

Each day as he takes the subway from his Westchester, N.Y., home to his great investment banker job at Pupkin & Langford, he fantasizes about women: "Look at her," he daydreams. "Those eyes, those cheekbones."

Cooper's lovely schoolteacher wife, Brenda (Gina Torres), is also bored -- so bored in fact that she's sworn off sex, which doesn't bode well for Cooper. When gorgeous Nikki Tru (Kerry Washington) stops by the office for some professional advice from Cooper, who is a friend of her ex-boyfriend, she becomes the answer to his boredom, while creating a whole different set of problems for the suburban businessman, not only in his marriage, but in his work.

While "I Think I Love My Wife" has a primarily black cast, the movie's theme is so universal that married couples and unmarrieds, no matter if they are black, white or another race, will find that all people face the same struggles.

The movie is constantly peppered with four-letter words and you'll count the f-word used more than 50 times. (I did actually keep count.) While the vulgarity is sometimes a turn off, anyone accustomed to Rock's humor will find it par for the course for the comedian. Although it's a bit overboard, it's Rock's way of making moviegoers sit up and take notice.

With the movie set in New York City, director Rock shows shades of Woody Allen and Spike Lee in the film by using the fast-paced frenetic of the city with the rollercoaster ride he takes his main characters on.

There are some laugh-out-loud funny moments including a fantasy sequence where Cooper pretends he's single and naughtily uses some of the worst pick up lines, there's a close encounter with Viagra, and a Rock infested rant on the monotony of eating chicken.

The 94-minute movie flies by and leaves you wanting more. But Rock's very witty ending puts a grand finale on the film. While Rock thinks he may love his wife, there isn't a doubt most moviegoers will like Rock's movie. After all, the comedian has always been a crowd-pleaser and he doesn't fail this time.
