What Women Want

Rating:
Summary: Sweet in an all around sort of way
Review: This film is your typical chick flick and guy flick combined all into one. True, more women will enjoy it then men but that just goes with the territory with movies written for women. Anyway...this movie is great. I could have lived with someone else in place of Helen Hunt but, believe me, Mel Gibson more than makes up for her. The ending is a bit corney but oh well! I really liked it...it's not my favorite but it is one of my top comedies...I definately recommend it to anyone in need of a few good laughs...you may just want to skip the last chapter or so...

Summary: Highly Inept
Review: In Mel Gibson's latest vehicle--and I use the term in all seriousness; his films are like beautiful, empty cars that he somehow manages to power with his charisma--he plays a womanizing cad with a lot of charm and no manners. He's involved in a highly implausible freak accident involving a lightning bolt and a hair dryer which allows him to hear what women are thinking. He learns to be more accepting and eventually develops something akin to human empathy. And, heaven help us, there is even a cameo by Bette Midler. It's a great date movie; it's light and fluffy, like popcorn or cotton, and there's some funny business with Mel as he does funny woman things, like waxing his legs and trying on pantyhose. The soundtrack is so uninspired that, frankly, it finds itself right at home.

Summary: Who'd of thunk it???
Review: As a man I was ask that same question as to what do women want? Then what most of us hope for...happens. Being able to read women's thoughts. A cute comedy although Mel Gibson finds out that maybe they are a little more complicated.

Summary: Unfair stereotypes of men
Review: This movie was absolutely horrendous! All the men were...manipulative and dominating evil doers while all the women were either small, petite, no self-esteem mice or strong, commanding, feminist CEO's. I was just appauled at the awful stereotypes that were being given to men! Sure, some, if not most, guys are actually...manipulative and dominating evil-doers but if I didn't know any better, this movie was just some radical feminazi propraganda designed to make men look like the bad guys. But Mel Gibson was great, though I don't know what possessed him to take up this role.

Summary: Dumb movie -- don't waste your money
Review: I'm not even going to spend much time writing this review because this movie is not worth my time. But anyway, the movie had a few cute moments, but other than that, neither my fiance or I enjoyed watching it. We didn't even finish it before deciding to sell it off. Definately not recommended. If you really feel the urge to watch it, rent it first.

Summary: What do women want?
Review: My guess, is that women want a stronger movie than this. It's an interesting premise. But what we have is a strictly average movie. The movie is formulaic. The movie is beneath Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, and I'm surprised that either of them took the parts. In the end he turns around to be the better man, she gets her job, love wins out, a neat, pat ending, blah, blah, blah. We've seen this movie many times before. This one just runs a little longer.

Summary: Will Have You Dancing
Review: I loved this movie, not just because I'm a Helen Hunt and Mel Gibson fan, but because it just thrilled me! The great band music, Frank and Dean and Sammy Davis - the sound track is just great. On top of that the dialogue is witty and smart. The love story evolves at the right pace, with the proper hurdles along the way. The first time I watched it I wasn't sure how the main characters nearly came crashing down, but that just inspired me to watch it again! and again! and again!

Summary: Mildly Entertaining
Review: I watched this movie with my wife and daughter and we had a few laughs along the way. It really did come across as a Mel Gibson showcase movie, the guy can do quite a good one minute dance as well as charge across a barren Scottish field welding a huge sword. The sort of movie a group of women might get around the television to watch when they havn't got much else to do. The sort of movie a group of guys wouldn't get round the television to watch, no matter what. A oncer really, albiet it did have a somewhat interesting idea. There are mcuh better movies out there, so I can't really recommend this unless youv'e watched them all.

Summary: Please, don't put this film on us guys!
Review: I am a woman and this movie is not what women want. This movie was terrible. The guy was a jerk and he stayed a jerk and if he came to me and told me he stole my job, I would have punched him. He would have annoyed me anyway saying every little thing I said after I thought it. Mel is old; the movie may be great for some porky housewives drooling over Mel. And the movie is filled with stereotypes--the typical skirt chasing men in the office for example. It just plain stunk and I wasted a Sunday afternoon on it when I could have been twiddling my thumbs.
