In marriage no one can hear you scream.
Richard Cooper is a married man and father of two who is just plain bored with married life. Not getting any sex from his wife, he resorts to ogling random women on the street to the point that he takes lunch late to look at them. When old crush Nikki Tru visits his office to get a reference letter, she becomes obsessed with Cooper and they begin a complicated relationship.
"I Think I Love My Wife," a 2007 romantic comedy-drama, is a film that delves into the complexities of marriage and temptation.

Fox Searchlight Pictures, in collaboration with UTV Motion Pictures, brought this insightful narrative to audiences in both the United States and India.

Chris Rock's directorial debut showcases his ability to blend humor with serious undertones, making "I Think I Love My Wife" a compelling watch. The supporting cast, including Gina Torres as Richard's wife Brenda, adds depth to the story, highlighting the emotional stakes involved in Richard's moral dilemma. The film's setting in New York City provides a vibrant backdrop that mirrors the bustling and often chaotic nature of Richard's internal struggle. The cinematography captures the city's energy, juxtaposing it with the quiet moments of introspection that Richard experiences. The soundtrack, featuring a mix of contemporary and classic tracks, enhances the film's emotional resonance, guiding the audience through Richard's journey of self-discovery and decision-making. "I Think I Love My Wife" stands out for its honest portrayal of the temptations that can arise in a marriage, and the film does not shy away from the uncomfortable realities of human desire.
