Summary: Great Movie
Review: He has the power to hear everything women are saying. Finally?a man is listening." Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt star in this romantic comedy about a male chauvinist pig (Gibson as Nick Marshall) given the opportunity to read women's minds. Hunt is Darcy Maguire, an advertising executive with a rotten reputation who gets hired as the new Creative Director - a position Nick was already uncorking the champagne to celebrate landing. Nick is as politically incorrect as they come. He insults women, tells offensive chauvinistic jokes, and generally goes out of his way to offend the opposite sex. Passed over for a promotion and determined to undermine his new female boss's efforts, Nick schemes to outshine and outwit (that sounds a bit ?Survivor?-ish) Darcy, hoping to send her back into the ranks of the unemployed. Mel Gibson's take on Nick as both a throwback to men of the 1940's, and as the enlightened man of the current millennium, is right on target. He plays both angles of Nick's personality with good humor and style. Gibson carries the film with Hunt and the rest of the cast seeming to enjoy being along for the ride. Not that Hunt, Mark Feuerstein (as sidekick and co-worker, Morgan), and Alan Alda as the head honcho of the advertising firm, aren't competent in their roles; it's more that their roles seem to be overshadowed by Mel's presence. The only co-star who seems to rival Mel's presence is Marisa Tomei. Tomei portrays a coffee shop clerk, and constant object of Mel's attention. Tomei brings a bubbly, effervescent life to her character and the chemistry between she and Mel is enjoyable to witness. Overall, What Women Want is a bit predictable, a bit corny, but worthwhile viewing - especially if you're a Mel Gibson fan.But all in all its a fun affair.Must get it!

Review: Ugh, this movie is shocking. It was good concept to start with, but as we journeyed deeper into the film it began to become too cliche. Most of the actors were so busy passing horrible lines at each other and being played as typical romantic comedy stereotypes, I was only entertained by Marissa Tomei's open and funny preformance. In the end the movie is nothing special, so if you want to see a good recent Gibson movie watch Ransom, and if you want to see a good recent Helen Hunt movie... Uh... watch Project X!

Summary: The ending takes down the whole movie
Review: The movie was funny I laughed at the "Sex God" thing, but I'm sorry to say that the ending just [stinks]!! It's like the writers got tired and just slaped an ending on it cause it is one of the worst.

Review: Aight. I love this movie because it is cool, interesting, and funny. It keeps you motivated; it's never boring. Plus it includes the best ingredient to any movie= Mel Gibson. He is my favorite actor in the whole world, and I have admired him for years. His performance as Nick Marshall is awesome. There were also great performances by Helen Hunt, and Marisa Tomei. My gawd!! Has Mel ever been this sexy in any of his other movies? Well, he's sexy in all of them so there's no need to ask that question. Anyway, "What Women Want" is a great movie, and it's worth buying. Trust me.

Summary: lovely
Review: the main reason to watch this movie is macho Mel. He did a superb job in his role, and he's the reason why this is such a smash hit. His charisma will keep you interested with what is basically a fantasy/romantic comedy. There are so many classic scenes, all of them involving unusual performance by Mel, such as Mel dancing in a Sinatra tune! What else can you ask for, and one truly hilarious scene involving Marisa Tomei in bed with him! The DVD itself is quite packaged very nicely, especially the behind the scenes features and the interviews. A must-see and a must-have!

Summary: why? why? why?
Review: Mel Gibson is not a bad actor. Helen Hunt is a great actor. Which brings us to the big question: why the hell would 2 pretty good actors want to do anything with this movie?? this movie is the worst movie i have seen in a looong time. It looks like the script was written by the character played by Gibson himself - this movie shows us what women think - well, apparently not too much, they do have some deep thoughts about kids, clothes and what men think about them. Surprisingly enough, when dear Mel finds out that women don't like it when guys treat 'em like[garbage]... (a BIG surprise), he starts to act differently, so he can get 'em to sleep with him more easily, and he's successfull. I could go on and on forever about this movie, about the low sense of humor, the lame jokes, the "funny" and "dramatic" parts that have NOTHING to do with the plot, but i think u get the main idea.DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

Review: This movie sounded really great and original, but at most times, it just feels like you're wasting your time. You hardly get any laughs (just one), and the so little parts which are meant to make you llaugh are just way too overdone and boring. I don't really recommend this moviealthough it sounds really promising.

Review: I love this movie 'cuz it's cool, funny, and it keeps you interested. The main reason I love it is because of Mel Gibson. He is my favorite actor in the whole world, and I have admired him for years. His performance as Nick Marshall is excellent. Helen Hunt also gave a great performance as Darcy Maguire (Mel Gibson's boss in the film). Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt showed great chemistry in it. I think this is a great date movie, and I recommend it to people who just want to chill out.

Summary: WHAT WE WANTED
Review: THIS MOVIE WAS A BIT DISSAPOINTING. NOT THE MEL GIBSON MOVIE GOING EXPERIENCE I EXPECT. MAYBE IT NEEDED SOME HOMER SIMPSON INPUT. A FEW BANGS HERE AND THERE, SORT OF, NOT REALLY. LACKED A REALLY GOOD PLOT. MAYBE MEL SHOULD HAVE HAD HIS MIND READING MAGIC GOING WHEN THE WRITERS WERE PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. IT WAS NOT A BAD MOVIE, OVERALL. MIGHT WATCH AGAIN WHEN IT COMES TO CABLE.

Review: This movie was poorly designed and not a great movie at all. I rented this movie on DVD and it's a good thing I didn't buy it before I rented it. Mel Gibson is a great actor but it's movies like this that make him look bad.
