What Women Want (2000)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I'm a man and I absolutely adore What Women Want. What Women Want has the absolute hottest + best looking + man + woman cast looking at their absolute best + hottest, top to bottom, and back up to the top again, ever! Everybody in it's soooooo gorgeous and bright and beautiful, especially Helen, and positively Marisa, and I guess Mel...and dead seriously Lauren, and without a doubt sweet Sarah, and clearly young cute Ashley, and of course Delta, and don't forget about Valerie, and incredibly Judy, and you better believe Lisa, and you bet Diana Maria, and Loretta too, and definitely real cute Ana and I almost forgot sweet legendary Bette and I'm thinking Mark and Alan too. I've never seen Helen Hunt look so good, ouch! Helen's hurting me with her hotness. She's beaming! I love Helen in this and I love Helen in everything and I really, really love Marisa Tomei too and I really, really love Marisa in The Wrestler + My Cousin Vinny. Mel Gibson accounts for the vast percentage of sexy charm for the lady viewers I think, and the incredibly beautiful and heavy hitting female lineup hits a home run game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 9th by my count, and a couple of triples too and some doubles and so many singles + 1 2 run bomb and a 3 run jack in the 3rd + they stole some bases and even had a sacrifice bunt squeeze play! I love how sweet and how sexy the girls are in this like 34% Helen, 23% Marisa, 11% Lauren, 9% Sarah, 8% Judy, 5% Ashley, 3% Lisa, 2% Delta and Valerie, and 1% each for Ana and Diana and Loretta and 0% for sweet Bette because I honestly did forget her = 100% of my full devoted + computative love. I love all the women in What Women Want + What Women Want is really 1 of my favorite movies to watch when I'm in the nice mood for an enjoyable sexy romp. It's really, really fantastic + terrifically well done, and super sexy, God, a legit 8 no doubt. Nancy Meyers' easily one of my most fond writers + directors. What Women Want is such a romantic, such a so sweet, so incredibly sexy, a very intelligent, and funny, good movie like me + I'm good at math. Mel Gibson + Helen Hunt x 1 single working father obtaining the superability to hear what women think / its sweet geniusness = What Women Want, love it! This is really like a 10 outta 10. Mel and Helen's beautiful. Thanks for reading this long and overbearing and lonely review but we finally got through it like one of those long, overbearing, and lonely overnights stuck in the office working into the wee hours of the morning yearning for just a touch of affection. I love Helen and I love Mel, I superlove Marisa and I also superlove Helen. I love What Women Want. It's the best kind of picture to invest in and there's many other enjoyable aspects of it too, like tons.

I did not like this film at all, even despite the fact the humour was executed well. The main point of the movie seemed to be to show the main character Marshall, played by Gibson, that women actually did have feelings and personalities. The way women were portrayed in the movie, however, seemed to me to be counterproductive to this, since the majority of them (I won't say all because I don't have a photographic memory of the film) came across as shallow and as being mere accessories to the plot, rather than characters in themselves. The only women who had one iota of personality (excluding Marshall's teenaged daughter, who probably had a personality to make up for the fact that the filmmakers morally couldn't sexualise her) seemed to be the secondary main character McGuire, whose thoughts still managed to centre the majority of the time on Marshall and her opinions of him, or, conveniently, on some new idea Marshall could exploit.The main problem of the film to me was that Marshall did not seem to learn anything at all. He apparently was so misogynistic that it didn't occur to him women were independent beings capable of thought and this 'myth' for him seems to have by the end been debunked, but the idea that he supposedly learnt that women were equal to men didn't come across. In fact, the film seemed to make valid his opinion that women were only there for sex with men (eg. the end, in which Marshall ends up having sex with McGuire). McGuire's personality, in fact, seems to have been written into the film purely to make her 'hard to get', and therefore further drives home the message that women are there for men's benefit.This is the most misogynistic film I have ever seen.

It's 2017, and let's face it, by now the world is filled with Mel Gibson haters, following the perception of anti-Semiticsm that went all too viral and several real world incidents of bad behavior. "What Women Want" takes us back to a point in Mel Gibson's career in which he had established himself as a top rated leading man for 20 years. Except for some roles in which Gibson had portrayed a more manic type personality - the "Lethal Weapon" series, in particular - movie goers would have considered him an actor for dramatic roles. In "What Women Want," however, Mel Gibson emerged in the year 2000 - the some year in which he starred in a very dramatic role in "The Patriot" - as a rather brilliant comedic actor. Gibson's casting as an ad executive who epitomizes male chauvinism before an accident involving electrocution enables him to "get inside" women's heads, which leads to a newfound empathy for the sake of all women, scores as "genius" for both Gibson and director Nancy Meyers. A rather incredible supporting cast has been assembled, starting with Helen Hunt, fresh off an Oscar winning best actress performance in "As Good as It Gets." Because some viewers will focus on how great the first half of this movie is, the second half will tend to get dismissed as being perhaps a little too sentimental and ultimately and eventually predictable. OK, perhaps that gives the first half of the movie a "10" score; the second half, at worst, deserves a score of "8," and that averages out to a "9" in my book. Performances are dead-on great, and the soundtrack, which also helps promote Mel Gibson's dancing talent in one scene that pays tribute somewhat to the era of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, is superb. "What Women Want" could be the movie that "women want," but this guy says everybody "needs" this most enjoyable movie and WILL WANT to view it a second time (at least).

Nick Marshal has it all. Money, charisma, looks, power, and the ability to sleep with any woman he desires. One night in a freak accident the chauvinistic Nick Marshall wakes up to learn he has the ability to know what every woman is thinking. Nick uses this gift for his own advantage. A woman named Darcy (Helen Hunt) works for the company, and Nick misses out on his promotion. Nick goes for revenge with his newfound abilities, but winds up falling for Darcy. Romantic comedies are considered to be chick flicks to many. I'm a guy, and I actually enjoy the romance genre. They tend to get a bit derivative and uncreative at times, but I still watch them as they come out. This movie is the epitome of a romantic comedy done right. Let's face it. If you're a guy, you've more than likely been confused with how a woman does things. Not only does this movie ingeniously explore that, but it does it such a smart way. I can't remember the last time I've laughed that hard in a movie. People can say what they want about Mel Gibson these days, but he was perfect for this part! He oozes charisma, and he is an absolute blast to watch. It was a lot of fun to watch him go from a cocky business man who womanizes to a person slowly, but surely becoming a regular human being with this newfound power. Mel Gibson dancing around in women's clothing, putting on makeup is unforgettable and had me howling with laughter. Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt make a great pair, and there chemistry was top notch. Helen Hunt is terrific herself, in a more subtle way. She's an ideal chick for any guy with a solid head on his shoulders, so guys should love her. Alan Alda doesn't have much to do, but Marisa Tomei is very funny in a supporting role, whilst Judy Greer steals every scene she's in as the girl nobody wants to hang around. The ending actually had me well up with tears a little bit. Laugh all you want, but its true! It was just so heartwarming I couldn't help but love it. Gibson's monologue in the ending is a knockout. Is it clichéd? Of course! It's a romantic comedy, what do you expect? Do people really have to be this fickle? Don't be such a cynic! Sit back, relax, and turn your brain off. You'll be so glad you did. It's one of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen, and a perfect film to watch if you have a date at home!9/10
