Synopsis
Shanté (Fox) is an expert at relationships, or at least she and her friends think so. When she loses her boyfriend (Chestnut) to her arch-rival, Conny (Union) she sets up a ten day plan to get him back. While the plan is in effect and she is busy cooking him great meals, wearing sexy lingerie among other things in her arsenal, she discovers he is getting advice from a buddy who is a player. The interference increases the challenge and Shanté soon realizes she is not the only one playing the game of love.

Critics' reviews
- "The movie does have charm and moments of humor, but what it doesn't have is romance."
- "In addition to the film's two extremely likable stars, the strong supporting cast features a who's who of rising African-American actors."
- "The movie still manages to unearth laughs, some of them pretty big, especially once Shanté's program is under way."
- "Writer-director Mark Brown ruptures and restores the realism in this romantic comedy with ease, dispensing earnest wisdom with a little tongue in cheek instead of undermining it with a lot of irony."
- "A sassy romantic battle of the sexes with a refreshing African-American slant."
- "Women may appear a bit smarter here, but both sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly."
