I Think I Love My Wife

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

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. There is one problem in his marriage, however; their sex life has stagnated, leaving Richard frustrated and sex-starved. During those dull days at the office, he occasionally fantasizes about other women, but never acts upon the impulses. He is best friends/workmates with George Franco (Steve Buscemi)

However, an encounter with the sultry Nikki (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, which causes his boss, secretaries and peers to view him with varying degrees of contempt. When Nikki begins to deliberately seduce Richard, he does not know what to do. Later in the movie, she and her fiance are about to move to Los Angeles. Nikki asks Richard to come to her apartment later to say a "proper goodbye", so he buys a pack of condoms and finds Nikki in her underwear in her bathroom. In the moments before it seems Richard will consummate his feelings for Nikki he flees back to his wife, leaving Nikki calling to him on her bed. He comes back home, surprising his wife, and after initial arguments, they have sex.

The film then ends with Richard checking out other women but maintaining that "He Thinks He Loves His Wife".
