Instant Classic - Think Like a Man became an instant classic when it came out in 2012, and turned Kevin Hart into a Hollywood A-lister. With the highly-anticipated sequel dropping on June 20, we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit what we loved about the original. Here are 20 reasons we heart Think Like a Man...(Photo: Screen Gems)

The BET Family Represents! - We at BET are lucky to call three of the film's stars — Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union and Terrence J — our family. Hart stars in the mock-reality hit Real Husbands of Hollywood and Union in the wildly popular drama Being Mary Jane. Terrence J, of course, spent years as one-half of the hosting team of 106 & Park. We couldn't be prouder of our kin! (Photos from Left: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images, Mike Coppola/Getty Images, Dave M. Benett/WireImage)

Michael Ealy's Baby Blues - While we admire all of Ealy's anatomy, it was the closeups of his blue eyes that we couldn't get enough of.  (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Gabby's Smile - Rivaling Ealy's eyes is Gabrielle Union's megawatt smile, which she flashes generously throughout the film — especially when she's bonding with her man Jerry Ferrara. (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Steve's Building an Empire - Steve Harvey has been a successful radio personality and best-selling author for years, but the release of Think Like a Man pushed him into mogul territory. Soon after, the relationship expert launched his own daytime talk show.  (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for NAACP Image Awards)

Terrence J's Hollywood Debut - Terrence J became a household name as co-host of 106 & Park, but the entertainment journalist launched his own Hollywood career as sensitive momma's boy Michael in Think Like a Man.

Hollywood's New Behind-the-Scenes Power Duo - When Think Like a Man grossed nearly $100 million at the box office, Hollywood paid attention not only to who was in front of the camera, but the talent behind it. In this case, it was director Tim Story, who already had his name on the hit Barbershop franchise, and producer Will Packer. The latter has been on a roll with follow-up projects including Ride Along. (Photo: Fernando Leon/Getty Images)

The Cameos! - If the all-star cast in Think Like a Man wasn't enough for you, the film boasts nearly a dozen exciting — and sometimes surprising — cameos. Everyone from Tika Sumpter to Kelly Rowland to JB Smoove turned up in the film. (Photos from Left: Todd Oren/Getty Images for Mediaplacement, Bennet Raglin/BET, Jemal Countess/Getty Images)

Morris Chestnut in a Suit - Chestnut played the handsome, successful ex-boyfriend of career-climber Taraji P. Henson in the film. While we're glad she ended up with aspiring chef Michael Ealy, we can understand how it would be a difficult decision to pass on a man who looks this good in a suit.

Shirtless Romany Malco - Almost as good as Morris Chestnut in a suit is Romany Malco outside of one. The statuesque actor, who plays ladies' man Zeke in the film, has several scenes sans shirt, prompting many women to send thank you letters to the producers. (Photo: Screen Gems)

The Return of the Black Rom-Com - The '90s were the golden era of Black romantic comedies, and Think Like a Man kicked off a renaissance. After the film brought in big bucks and the box office, Hollywood realized there is an appetite for diversity. (Photo: Screen Gems)

La La Anthony as the BFF We All Want - Though she was a supporting player in this ensemble comedy, La La charmed us as Meagan Good's naughty best friend. Her character is someone we'd love to have at our next girl's night out.  (Photo: Santi/Splash News)

The Soundtrack - A great comedy deserves a bumpin' soundtrack, and Think Like a Man didn't disappoint. Ne-Yo, Miguel, John Legend and other chart-toppers set the tone for the film's romance and debauchery. (Photo: Matt Kennedy/Screen Gems, Inc.)

Los Angeles at It's Finest - Set against the backdrop of LA, Think Like a Man made the city look like the most exciting place in the world to live — and fall in love. Think Like a Man Too works similar magic on Las Vegas. (Photo: Think Like A Man via Instagram)

Made Kevin Hart a Global Star - The biggest difference between the two films is likely Kevin Hart's bank balance. Think Like a Man turned Kev from local hero to global star.

The Bromances - While Think Like a Man Too is all about girls' night out, the first film is one of our favorites when it comes to bromances. The relationship between the six guys — Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Romany Malco, Jerry Ferrara, Terrence J and Gary Owen — rivals that of any of the romantic ones in the story. What makes it even better is knowing that the actors are similarly close in real life. (Photo: Screen Gems)

The Swirl - After decades of seeing every aspect of an interracial relationship explored in film, it was a breath of fresh air to see the romance between Gabrielle Union and Jerry Ferrara treated as a non-issue in Think Like a Man. Don't get us wrong, dialogues about race are still necessary and constructive, but sometimes the biggest statement is saying nothing at all. (Photos from Left: Frederick M.

Gets Real About Love - For all its over-the-top zaniness, one thing we will give TLAM credit for is keeping it real when it comes to the complexity of love. From interracial relationship to fear of commitment to second marriages, the film honestly deals with the many battles we must overcome to find, and keep, love. (Photo: Screen Gems)

Happy Endings - No rom-com is complete without a happy ending, and TLAM delivered one that is neither cynical nor sappy. All of our couples — including Kevin Hart and Wendy Williams — overcame their mental and physical hurdles to find true love. (Photo: Screen Gems)
