This is a funny film with a good storyline. Something different. Mainly a chic film but enjoyable for all. If you havent seen this film it is worth it for sure. Mel Gibson was excellent.
love this film its so true lol. mel gibson and helen hunt have great on screen chemistry. the plotline is good and it is easy on the brain to watch great film
Now, initially I thought that having this power would be great. Being able to appreciate what a woman really wants would be such a power, however, through watching this film I realise that with the good, comes the bad. Women basically think the opposite to what they say - watch out lol. A v.funny film, and a great watch
This film does not even raise the eyebrows of any female, that I know, that has watched it...this film does not really allow women to learn anything about men. Nothing that they didn't already know, anyway.
Why-oh-why do all the men that have watched it feel that they have learnt something amazing about women and how they think?
The main (Male) character 'Nick Marshall' played by Mel Gibson, does not have any problems attracting women, or so the audience is lead to believe...it appears that they swoon at his charm and wit. Most men wish they could have an easy rapport with women and have them laugh at their jokes and show an interest in their ideas etc.
It isn't until 'Nick' has a rather 'unfortunate' accident in his bathroom that he is in the 'fortunate' position to 'understand' the women around him. The first things he learns is what the females in his life, both at work and around him generally, truly think...and who would have believed it???
There is not a man alive that would not love to have this 'ability'. To be able to 'listen' to women and actually 'hear what they say'. To 'Hear' a woman talk and then 'understand' what it is she actually meant...
This is a great film and the leading lady 'Darcy McGuire' is played very well by Helen Hunt. It is through 'Darcy' that we men will learn a lot about womens thought processes...if we just listen closely enough.
All in all a very good film that will have a some of the less 'fortunate' men in the world locking themselves in the bathroom with a hair dryer. Thank god for electrical trip switches eh?
After an accident the gorgeous mel gibson can hear womens thoughts and starts to use them for his own purpose, a very funny film, can be watched over and over again without getting boring.
Mel gibson, lets be honest is a manly man. this film is a new twist on him as an actor but more importantly a great insight to the womens mind. this review is for the guys, not because i slate women but more because i hope men will watch this film and learn a little something about the complexed mind of the woman.
Mel plays Nick marshall, an advertising exec, who when asked to sample some ladies cosmetic items has an epithany, when waking realises he can hear womens thoughts. a great gift you may think until it becomes apparent he can hear all thoughts of all women.
Imagine being a guy and having a nice moment with the lady of your dreams only to hear in her mind things are not as great as you believed.
Enter helen hunt, the love interest.darcy maquire. Darcy is hired by the company as Nicks boss, and is well aware of his failings as a womaniser. Nick uses her thoughts to change the opinion she has of him and more importantly the feelings.
Men, watch this film, it is of course girly but will make you realise that all men believe they are the alpha male and they can do know wrong! this will put you straight.
Well done to Nancy myers for a triumph of a film, very funny and also educational.
all round good film.for everyone to watch.very funny .mel gibson playes a fine part.makes you wonder what life would be like if men could read womens minds.probable fantastic.
Every guys dream turned into a chick flick. Although guys will be able to totally relate. Mel Gibson casts off the Lethal weapon stereo type cast and does his best to relate to women. A few heart warming moments and plenty of in joke laughs.
It was okay but I wouldn't bother to watch it again. For me it lacked conviction. I suppose it would help if I fancied Mel Gibson but he just doesn't have that 'wow' factor and comes across as being a bit of a leach in my opinion.
As i am wanting to get rid of my videos i have wrote down what i have got and getting them on dvd as i have no space for the videos no more. It is also a brill film.
The idea that a man is able to eaves drop on women's thoughts is a good one. The idea of casting Mel Gibson as the man is also a good one. Unfortunately every other idea director Nancy Meyers and writers Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa had wasn't so good. The result being that What Women Want is a sprawling and tedious romantic comedy that lacks conviction and more alarmingly, romance.
A very enjoyable film with clever script and great acting. I bought this film because i am a mel gibson fan and thought it must be worth watching if he is in it. Actually i am very glad i did and must say a thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I also bought the pacifier with vin diesel for about the same reason and also enjoyed that film to. Great Family entertainment !
i bought this movie for my girlfriend as she loves this movie.i like this movie beacause its a funny movie about a guy who can read womens minds.he can hear there thoughts and with this power he has he can bring love in the air!.perfect dvd to buy a women
What women want is a smashing romantic comedy. But in all fairness for all men unlucky with women out there, you should be taking notes from this film. It may be a comedy but most of its is actually true. Although I shouldn’t try sitting in the bath with the hair dryer on just to get Gibsons special power, it really isn’t such a wise thing to do. The only let down to the film for me was the fact I cant help thinking that Helen Hunt is cheating on Paul Reiser a bit after the TV show Mad About You. But over all this is a lovely film, perfect for a nice evening with a glass of wine by the fire.
i bought this dvd to build up my collection ive not had time to watch this dvd yet but i have seen it on tele before and i really enjoyed it i like to watch my dvds more than once so it should be good
such a funny film had me crying with laughter,mel gibsons shines just as much in this playing a funny guy as playing a cop in lethal weapon a defiante must watch.
