Love really is a battlefield in this war of the sexes comedy that marks the directorial debut of Def Jam's How to Be a Player (1997) screenwriter Mark Brown. Vivica A. Fox stars as Shante, a knowledgeable veteran of the dating game who thinks she's found the perfect mate in the handsome Keith (Morris Chestnut). When Keith is spotted stepping out with Shante's arch-rival Conny (Gabrielle Union), the spurned lover institutes what she labels the "ten-day plan," an all-out assault on Keith designed to make him come crawling back to her. Shante's scheme includes sexy lingerie, home cooking, aloofness, and other tactics intended to make Keith regret his errant ways, but Keith is receiving contradictory advice from his allegedly worldly wise buddy Tony (Anthony Anderson). Two Can Play That Game is produced by Doug McHenry, director of Jason's Lyric (1994) and Kingdom Come (2001). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Real-life gridiron star Jeff Cravath was the technical advisor for the fair-to-middling campus picture Making the Varsity.

As Wally is the weak-willed sort, thus he's willing to throw the Big Game for a substantial amount of money. Upon finding this out, Ed is forced to knock some sense into his kid brother. The gridiron finale is mostly comprised of newsreel footage culled from genuine collegiate games. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
