I Think I Love My Wife released in theatres Friday, March 16, 2007. The film shot in New York City from May – July 2006, employing 2,770 New York City cast and crew members. Actor, writer and director Chris Rock calls the New York City area home. In creating the characters for I Think I Love My Wife, he became influenced by a fellow New York City filmmaker – Manhattan native Woody Allen, who has made the city an iconic element in many of his celebrated comedies. “In stand-up, you’re always trying to get to Richard Pryor, and in doing this kind of movie, I think you try to get to Woody,” explains Rock. Rock also wanted to create a picture of two different New Yorks – one as a city surrounded by suburban havens where families lead quiet lives and the other an urban playground for the young and adventurous. Rock’s goal was to keep each attractive in their own way. Interestingly, although Rock’s character’s family’s home is meant to be in Pelham, a Westchester County hamlet, the residence is actually located in the Ditmas Park area of Brooklyn. The film stars Rock, who shot Bad Company in 2002 and Pootie Tang in 2001 in NYC, and Kerry Washington who shot Bad Company with Rock and She Hate Me with Spike Lee in NYC.
