Director, writer, and producer Nancy Meyers's (THE PARENT TRAP) sophomore directorial effort is a lively screwball fantasy featuring Mel Gibson in his first romantic comedy. Gibson plays Nick Marshall, a high-flying chauvinistic Chicago advertising executive who, like his musical idol, Frank Sinatra, calls women "baby" and believes he has the world on a string. Nick experiences a rude awakening when the creative director position he coveted goes to Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt), a savvy outsider--and a woman--who intends to aggressively pursue the lucrative women's market. While trying to brainst... orm ideas for "feminine" products, Nick experiences a freak accident that gives him the ability to hear women's thoughts. Determined to win back his stolen job, Nick uses his terrifying yet useful new talent to scrutinize Darcy and finds his smart, beautiful rival may not be the "bitch on wheels" he imagined. Meanwhile, he also must maneuver carefully within complex relationships with his estranged teenage daughter, Alex (Ashley Johnson), and a pretty coffee shop waitress, Lola (Marisa Tomei). Once Nick begins to listen to the new voices he hears, his previous worldview is challenged, and he finds that he finally might understand what women want.

More lamentable though is not the 80s-style battle of the sexes theme but the laz...
Because his character does nothing but wrong, it's necessary to believe that actor Mel Gibson does everything right to fully enjoy his new starring vehicle, What Women Want.
A picture constructed with Mel-aholics in mind, What Women Want is a vaguely amusing formulaic comedy with a premise that turns out to be more discomforting than endearing: that chauvinistic Chicago advertising executive Nick Marshall (Gibson) suddenly finds himself with the ability to literally hear what women think.
What Women Want is written by The King of Queens supervising producers Josh Goldsmith & Cathy Yuspa and directed by Nancy Meyers, who co-wrote and directed the enjoyable Parent...

Hey, yeah this is a goodie for sure. Mel Gibson as the bad boy who learns to understand the deeper feelings of the ladies.. I mean hear their thoughts.. YO! What a pity we all can't learn that trick, maybe then the world would be a better place for everyone. Still this is a fine movie, a LOT OF FUN, loads of laughs and Helen Hunt as well. Gets my vote, I've watched this a few times and never tire of it.. Great Movie!
The concept was interesting and Mel Gibson did fine. Funny movie liked the scene when the black woman guard said what a piece of.. what woman wants is that they want everything except old age..hehehe
