Editorial Review:
Vivica A. Fox (Two Can Play That Game, Kill Bill: Vol. 1), Jason George (Barbershop, TV's Eve), Jazsmin Lewis (Barbershop 1 & 2, Deliver Us From Eva), Kellita Smith (Roll Bounce, TV's The Bernie Mac Show), Terri J. Vaughn (Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls, TV's The Steve Harvey Show) and Tony Rock (TV's All of Us) star in this hilariously funny follow-up to Two Can Play That Game. Fox reprises her role as Shante Smith, a relationship expert who uses her knowledge of the male psyche to help women reach their relationship goals.
Three Can Play That Game Reviews:
Playing Games With Men 
2009-07-17 - This is a must-see movie. I loved it. Ladies could learn alot from watching this dvd. Dvd was in excellent condition when it arrived.
Game over 
2009-05-17 - Two Can Play That Game caught me off guard. When I first started watching it I started rolling my eyes. As the movie progressed I was laughing and was enjoying myself. The way the movie ended threw me off completely but that is what made that movie special. It tricks you into thinking you can predict how the movie is going to end up then BAM! Nice surprise. Three Can Play That Game is a soulless, unfunny, and mean-spirited sequel that is just as corny and weak as you would expect a direct-to-DVD sequel to Two Can Play That Game to be.
Story: Byron Thomson is caught by his girlfriend Tiffany(Jazsmin Lewis) in a compromising position with Carla(Kellita Smith), a TV executive. From then on Tiffany seeks the advise provided by Shante Smith(Vivica Fox) to help manipulate Byron and the relationship. Byron uses the advise from his best friend Gizzard(Tony Rock)to manipulate the relationship. Byron ends up using Shante's advise to help him manipulate Tiffany and Tiffany follows the advise of her friends, Linda(Terry Vaughn) and Monica(Rashan Ali) to manipulate the relationship.
As you can see the movie is very and confusing plus it doesnt even have the good intentions of its predecessor. Two Can Play That Game had a great message: You cant turn love into a game to be controlled because you will lose. Plus it was pretty clever in how it conveyed that message. This movie doesnt seem to have much to say plus its quite annoying to see these attractive brothers and sisters act like childish high-schoolers throughout the movie. I wouldnt have a problem if it were a means to an end but its not. Add that to the fact that this movie tries to use the same type of jokes from the first movie and fails.
Vivica tries to inject some personality into her character but she comes across as a huge douche bag(if you can call a female that), whereas in the first one she was a likable person with a wayward view of relationships and men. And her performance in this movie is quite forced. Jason George, Tony Rock and Jazsmin Lewis all give forced performances and it shows. Did I forget to mention that this movie is boring. Lethally boring.
In conclusion Three Can Play That Game is a direct-to-DVD sequel that will join the ranks of other bad direct-to-video sequels like House Party 4 and Home Alone 4. The humor falls flat and the movie doesnt even have heart(which the first movie has). Even if you havent seen the Two Can Play That Game you wont like this one. This is Two Can Play That Game for the Lifetime crowd. Two thumbs down
Just bad and not very clever
2009-03-25 - The first movie was kind of clever but this one was just wack. No man would put up with any of that crap......ever. And the premise that a man is more happy being whipped than being single is total BS. The only real funny part was that Tony Rock was coaching his friend from a book that Anthony Anderson's character from the first movie wrote called " The Man's Guide to Pimpin Panderan and Philanderan" That was the only time I slightly cracked a smile. Oh and Ms. Ford was looking good which might ne worth the price if you pick it out the $.99 used and forgettable bargain bin at the local trade in video hut.
Please rent 
2008-11-13 - I am a huge proponent of Two Can Play That Game and I am a big fan of Vivica Fox but THIS movie is not what's up. I'm sorry... I tried watching it and it took me like 3 days to finish it. I couldn't sit through it... it's difficult to be still long enough. It did not capture my interest and it wasn't really that funny. I gave this movie 2 stars only because my girl Vivica was in it. I suppose if I had not seen Two Can Play That Game, it would have been a little better but I was constantly comparing the two and... well there is no comparison. I wanted to be able to give this movie good reviews but I simply cannot. It's just not good. Jason George is quite handsome, though. :)
dog trainer and puppeteer
2008-06-21 - The Trainee is on the ropes; the boss lady wants her
piece of him, his best friend ( a fly/ player type) wants his perks too.
But his best girl finds a counselor who has a five step
plan. The sparks begin to fly as the relationship progresses
and the games go on.
If a relationship is real, no games are necessary?
Too many hands spoiled to soup pot.
The end is predictable.
