Summary: People are wrong about this.........
Review: I've been reading some people's reviews of this movie and I can't understand why all the negative opinion's about it! The movie is flat out just a classic romantic comedy. I think it's one of Mel Gibson's better proformances. He was just hilarious. And how can you not forget Helen Hunt who also was amazing! And beautiful for that matter! People need to lighten up about certain things, what else could they have possibly done! The movie had everything! I highly recommend! BUY IT!!!!!

Summary: What Most Audiences Want?
Review: This inoffensive romantic comedy follows the ups and downs of Nick (Mel Gibson), a well-suceeded and pretentious publicist who always knows how to act towards women, never failing to achieve his goals. The situation gets tricky when, one night, he starts reading their minds due to a strange short circuit. Then, Nick acknowledges that women actually think and (surprise!) have feelings...Who could have guessed? And sometimes they aren`t quite what they seem at first. Yep, believe it because it`s true, folks... In order to solve this situation, he just has to act in a kindly, affective manner, and the new problems are solved. Not that difficult, heh?
So, this isn`t quite heavy material or thought-provoking stuff, although the beginning of the movie has its funny moments and scenes, credit be given to Gibson. But, as the plot unfolds, it all turns very predictable and even melodramatic, requiring the typical Hollywood ending that everyone`s expecting. Despite a somewhat promising central idea, this is just another average piece of fluff, simplistic and innocuous as it should. Watchable on a rainy saturday afternoon, anyway.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: This film could have been so much better than it was. It starts off on a high, goes right down about an hour into the film, and then goes back up, but never goes up quite as high as the beginning.Mel Gibson is great as Nick, although you can see he's really beginning to lose his looks - the shopping bags under his eyes really began to distract me. Up against Helen Hunt, who positively shines, Mel Gibson has really met his match. They make a cute couple during the film, although the tedious bit where they start "getting to know each other" is where the film really begins to dip. Ashley Johnson plays Nick's teenage daughter, Alex, who Nick knows nothing about, but eventually ends up saving the day. I recognised her instantly, despite being 5 years older and now a brunette. She was the young girl who slapped Hugh Grant during 9 Months. Great moment! She should be proud of that. The whole idea of the film is quite fun for both men and women to watch. Imagine if that could happen, how messed up would the world be?! A guy hearing a girl's thoughts, hearing what she really thinks about him. That could probably mess a guy up. Now where's the sequel?! 'What Men Want', that could be interesting.

Summary: Could have been good.
Review: I actually quite liked the premise of the "man's man" all women adore. I loved the beginning of the film, and how his mother was a chorus girl, etc. I liked his scoundrel personality and wished I could have seen much, much more of it. Unfortunately, stealing someone else's ideas to get ahead and steal her job is not the action of a charming scoundrel you're supposed to love despite yourself - it's the action of a louse you can't help but despise. Worse than that, he actually becomes rather good at the end of the picture, and repents and saves the life of a totally unimportant and boring female victim, just so we "forgive" him. What a waste of a good idea.
Watch the first part and turn it off.

Summary: A very patronising view of women
Review: Mel Gibson plays an advertising executive who suddenly becomes able to read women's thoughts, which he uses to his advantage until he become a reformed character and starts wanting to help women instead of taking advantage of them. Too sweet for words. The women in the film are a bunch of hopless losers, all of whom need the help of a man (Gibson, of course) to help them out. Helen Hunt plays Gibson's boss, and she's so sweet and helpless you wonder how she ever got to be a tea-lady,let alone a top executive in a ruthless business like advertising. Gibson stitches her up by stealing her ideas, and naturally she can't do a thing to help herself, poor little thing, until he takes pity on her. His daughter spends most of the film slavering with lust over her boyfriend, then suddenly she inexpicably goes off the idea of having ... with him (why?), but she can't get out of it herself, oh no, Daddy has to come and rescue her. And the girl in the office who's going to commit suicide because she can't get promoted (yes, honestly) guess who comes to her rescue. ...

What type of movie do you like? Do like horror, classical, action- pact or maybe even a romance movie. If your like me you like me you like comedies. If that's true than here's a movie for you it's called 'What Women Want'
Mel Gipson plays a man named Nick Marshall
Helen Hunt play a girl
Named Darcy McGuire Nick was struck by a freak accident that causes
Him to here every girls wants and needs.
(even dogs) Anyways if you buy or rent the movie you wont be disappointed. It starts funny and ends even funnier. If you have it on D.V.D. that's better because you can watch special features first. That's if you want to spoil the fun. On the D.V.D you can also pick a different language. I give it two thumbs up for its comedy and graphics. I would highly recommend adults, teenagers, and mature people watch this because of some language and sexual behavior. Rated P.G. thirteen

Summary: Good Film!
Review: I enjoyed this one. The acting was good, and the music was astounding. This is a classy film... and one I have now seen several times. (It doesn't seem to get old as quickly as some others.) Gibson plays a "man's man" bent on sleeping with many, many women. He changes into a much more sensitive figure as the movie progresses. It is astounding that all of the women in his life think in complete, coherent, and honest thoughts. That one problem aside, this movie kept me very entertained. Gibson did a terrific job, as did Helen Hunt (about whom I am not very fond, usually). Rent this one if you haven't seen it yet!

Summary: Ok Movie
Review: I was all psychd to go out and see this movie, but boy was I disappointed, It was okay but the commercials lie, I was expecting this amazing movie but it was so so, definetly not what i expected. Granted there were some funny moments, and it was etertaining at some points, but there were more bad moments, and normally Mel Gibson has these great parts too, It was just sort of dissapointing.

Summary: Not a Chic Flic
Review: I've heard this described as a "Chic Movie" so I avoided seeing it for a long while. Then I happened to catch it playing on cable at my brothers place. I don't understand why people put the tag "Chic Flic" on anything that has an element of romance in it. If anything this movie is more about "what if" male fantasy. The premise is; you could read the oh so complex mind of a woman, how easy, and tempting it would be to misuse that information. Mel Gibson seems to have as much a gift for physical comedy as he does for doing action pictures. The scenes where he tries out womens products as a work assignment are priceless. In this movie he has good chemistry with Helen Hunt, and it helps fill out the romatic side of the story well. One of his other films: Bird on a Wire was pretty flat because there was just no apparent attraction between him, and costar Goldie Hawn. In this one the romantic chemistry works fine.
If the movie can be faulted its because its a little too short. I would like to see Hollywood put a little more film in the can when they come up with a good idea like this. Its not like they were spending a lot on special effects and car chases here. The could have used a few more scenes. The resolution of the film was just a little too easy and it loses one star for that problem.
