The rules are simple. There are no rules.
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) 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 Ten-Day Plan to get her man back in line, save face with her friends and climb back on top of her strained relationship.

-Susan Stark, Detroit News, December 18, 2001Rotten: Fox and Chestnut, with their fine looks and fine wardrobes, are all dressed up for a party that most guests bailed on in the last days of the old millennium.
-Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly, September 14, 2001Rotten: Few recent movies have conceived their central female character more contemptuously -- a fanatic for a lifestyle that appears to have come from the bestselling The Rules and someone who is obviously set up for a satiric fall.
