Summary: What do we want? A better movie
Review: The previews showed a man who could hear the thoughts of women. So promising, so much fun it seemed but the movie fell flat. Don't waste your time! Mel Gibson looks old and dowdy, Helen Hunt looks lost and the rest of the cast has a dull lokk as if to say why me?

Summary: A womans mind is a terrible thing to tap
Review: I just recently watched this movie with one of my male friends...actually, I forced him to rent it and told him to consider it an educational film. Well, my friend really enjoyed it as did I. What Women Want has comedy and a sense of heart. I really loved how Mel Gibsons character, Nick Marshal, read the mind of the young messenger girl, Erin, who was very suicidal. After watching this film, my friend thought it would be an excellent gift to be able to read womens minds and know there inner most thoughts. In a way he has a point, but a women should be left mystical and uncharted. Anyway, I'm getting of the subject, the supporting cast is great, I loved the guest appearance by Bette Midler. Helen Hunt was impressive, and is finally over coming all the Mad About You hoopla. All in all a great movie.

Review: 1) when he thinks he has cured himself ---by ridding himself of the ability to hear womens thouhgts...he is standing in a stores cosmetic area---notice the floor beneath him---all white tile---- two seconds later---wide angle shot---floor suddenly gets a pattern..near end of movie he goes to apartment of helen hunt, rings the bell / intercom system ---note the number of buttons and the lighting fixtures...change from 4 buttons to 2....and the fixtures are different as well--- its a decent story tho--but i always notice these things...drives me nuts

Summary: Fun and funny
Review: The basic premise for this movie - a man that gains the power to read women's minds - is such an obvious plotline that I can't believe there aren't a dozen movies out there like it. Mel Gibson's character is the "lucky" recipient of this power. At first he can't deal with it, but soon learns (after a chat with Bette Midler as a psychiatrist in a juicy cameo) he can use the power to become great in bed, patch things up with his daughter, and undercut his new boss (who "stole" his promotion), played by Helen Hunt. It's true that the characters are a little thin and two-dimensional, but who cares? You don't watch a movie like this for deep meaning, who watch because it's fun, energetic, and funny, much like the old Cary Grant comedies. Overall the performances in this film are excellent. Mel has a lot of fun with the role, that of a misogynist ad executive that eventually learns to become a new age sensitive guy. Hunt is good as well, starting off as a foil who eventually falls in love with him; their romantic chemistry is very good. Marissa Tomei's aspiring actress who is seduced by Gibson is the worst of the two-dimensional characters (not her fault, she does her best with the material), while the best supporting character is the suicidal clerk played by Judy Greer. The interaction between Gibson's executive and the clerk is the turning point in the exec's transformation between jerk and good guy. There are a few extras on the DVD. There are two "making of" featurettes, one of which is in the irritating "extended trailer" style that I hate, but the other is interesting, if short, and includes some interview clips with the actors talking about working with the other members of the cast and crew. The commentary by director Meyers (along with the production designer, but he doesn't say much) is interesting as it ranges over a wide variety of topics, including the actors, the sets, and technical details like audio dubbing. All in all, it's a fun movie for an evening where you just want to sit back and be entertained.

Summary: Duck and Cover
Review: Duck and Cover, Take the Money and Run, etc are some of the phrases that come to mind when I think of how I would describe this movie. No, more correctly these are phrases that would describe why Mel Gibson would ever make a movie like this. They had to drag me to the theatre in the first place to see this film. Luckily I needed no such assistance when the film ended. Seriously, this is a very forced comedy and not a very good one.

Summary: What Women Want . . .
Review: Is to stop being insulted by Hollywood. I find it difficult to believe that this movie was written and produced by women. All the female characters are 1 dimensional, and weak I might add. Even Darcy, who is supposedly a fire cracker at her profession. In the end, she can't even stand up for herself when she realizes she has been taken advantage of by someone she trusts. It's high time Hollywood and society realize that what women want is more than love from a man. They want to be healthy and have good careers and have fun hobbies. They do want to be loved, but love comes from friends and family, not just men. This movie had a lot of potential, but it didn't deliver.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: It was a little unusual; but great movie. Mel looks his great self - in fact he is positively drooly. Helen Hunt has started looking her age finally and this is also not one of her nest performances. But overall a good, one comes back hoping that more men understand women. Good insight into how men see women and women see women. Light romantic movie.

Summary: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.
Review: I actually thought that this movie would be slow moving and boring. Much to my surprise this movie was one of the top movies I have seen all year. This was a great date movie, with plenty of laughs and romance. Oh by the way this movie has a great plot and keeps you interested the whole way though. I really liked this movie and would recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. It is part serious, and part funny. I believe that the movie really does give men an insight as to what women really want, but does it in a humorous way, making the movie enjoyable to watch. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
