What Women Want

Summary: Mel's hot
Review: This movie rocked so much. Mel is such a hottie, even though he's old. I really did love it. Now, I couldn't get it a big fiver because it wasn't absolutely perfect. There were places where the pace kinda slowed down and times when side characters were given too much attention. The story was at its best when it focused on the love affair between Helen and Mel and on Mel's comic prowess. His advertising gig was great, too.

Summary: Several real important moments in this comedy
Review: Did you ever take time to think of the way you think? I believe that I think clearly, that is, in real sentences and coherent sequence of thoughts only rarely, and only when I am alone - driving or walking outside. Even then my mind jumps from one association to another like crazy. I don't think I even bother to always verbalize my thoughts, I do it only when I think about what I am going to say to someone. My thoughts are even harder to categorize when I am in the middle of a conversation with another person. I do not have coherent thoughts coming in long clear sentences but something which is more like images, notes I make to myself about the other person, short words. I am therefore quite sure that my mind, or other people's mind for that matter, does not act in the way presented in the movie but is more like a disorganized sack with lots of items inside, most of them irrelevant to the subject matter...That is, the main idea of the movie seems a little wrong to me. However, this very long preface only leads to what I really want to say: I understand that this movie has several flaws, amongst which the way "thinking" (a central theme in the movie) is presented, but in spite of this and other flaws and the light easy nature of the movie, it is very entertaining and is able to touch, several quite serious subjects. My best part actually is when the male character, played by Mel Gibson talks about what he learned about women. "They worry all the time...", he says, and this sentence alone is worth watching the movie. Oh so true and such a real (very satisfying) moment.
Story is a little banal with all the right elements falling down at the right moment with our hero learning his lesson and being at the right place to save the day -- however men women relationship at the workplace are very nicely presented, all stereotypes included (I loved the moment when Mel Gibson looks at his two secretaries and asks "that's all"? after he gets no reaction from their brain.
Bette Midler is hilarious in a small psychologist part that does justice to her comic abilities.

Summary: Female empowerment with a love story
Review: This movie was wonderful. It made me laugh, cry, and filled my heart with love. This is definatly a chick-flick kind of movie, so if you're not into those you probably won't like this movie very much. Mel Gibson does a wonderful job in the movie. He has so really hilarious scenes throughout What Women Want. Another thing I really liked about the movie was the main female characters portrayal. She was a highly successful women in the corprate world. She shows real independence as a person, she's a really strong character. Her character gives off a women power feel. This is yet another reason this movie is so good. It is empowers you to be a women. I would highly recommend this movie to any female.

Summary: A Satisfying Light Comedy
Review: What Women Want is Melvin Gibson's foray into the chick-flick region of film-making, an excellent opportunity for him to showcase his dashing good looks and physical conditioning. Though Melvin Gibson hasn't won an acting Oscar, he comported himself well with co-star Helen Hunt. This is a pleasant Saturday-night movie to watch with a date -- it even features one of those MTV video interludes from the 1980s, with Melvin dancing to Frank Sinatra and cavorting around his apartment. The only question I have is, Why couldn't Melvin's character hear Alan Alda's thoughts?

Aside from the great music and wonderful cast, this movie is pretty family friendly and great for all those guys who want to know what women really want. Heres a hint guys...They want you to listen to them!
