Taking a break from dominating the music scene, Chris Brown is returning to the big screen. In 2005, Brown began a highly successful career in entertainment. Starting off as a singer, Chris Brown had his first major movie role before the end of 2006. With a few bumps in the road, Chris Brown has had success throughout his career.

Following a few rough years, Chris Brown put together one of the most-solid comebacks in recent history. His comeback started with his Michael Jackson tribute at the 2010 BET Awards. As fate would have it, one year later, he won several awards at the 2011 BET Awards.

Now, Chris Brown is staging a return to the big screen, starring in the film version of Steve Harvey's book, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." Starring alongside Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, and other big names, Chris Brown will be amongst the stars, once again. The film will be directed by Tim Story and produced by Will Packer.

Surrounding a group of four male friends, things grow interesting when their girlfriends read Steve Harvey's book and begin to take the book by heart.
