I Think I Love My Wife is a 2007 film directed by and starring Chris Rock. It is a remake of the 1972 French film, Love in the Afternoon by Éric Rohmer. Rock also co-wrote the screenplay with Louis C.K.

Plot

Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) is a happily married man, professionally successful, perfectly content with his home life, his lovely wife Brenda (Gina Torres), and his two young children. He finds his life great, yet he is extremely bored. He and his wife never have sex anymore, which is a constant theme around the movie, and this causes him to be rather sex starved. During those dull days at the office, he occasionally fantasizes about other women, but never acts upon the rather harmless impulses. However, an encounter with an incredibly sexy old friend of his (Kerry Washington) suddenly casts doubt over his typically resilient self-control. At first she just wants to be his friend, or so she claims, but she begins to show up consistently at his office just to talk or have lunch. When the woman begins to deliberately seduce Richard, he doesn't know what to do. Later in the movie he is forced to muster up all his strength just to resist her and remain loyal to his wife.

Production

Charles Stone III was slated to direct the film but dropped out of the project.[1]

This is the second time Chris Rock and Kerry Washington have been paired on screen, the previous time they were in Bad Company playing a couple.

Mumbai based UTV Motion Pictures made their entry into the American market by co-producing the film.
