What Women Want

HE HAS THE POWER TO HEAR EVERYTHING WOMEN ARE THINKING. FINALLY… A MAN IS LISTENING.

After accidentally electrocuting himself, cocky and womanizing Chicago ad executive Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) realizes that he can hear what women are thinkingā€¦ and the experience is a shock to him. Not one of Nancy Meyersā€™s finest romantic comedies, it was nevertheless a box-office success made in those days when Gibson was a sex symbol. Unsurprisingly, heā€™s the right person to play this initially unlikable character who has us rooting for him to get his act together after finding out how his behavior affects women. Still, itā€™s long and not funny or clever enough.

2000-U.S. 126 min. Color. Directed byĀ Nancy Meyers. Cast: Mel Gibson (Nick Marshall), Helen Hunt (Darcy Maguire), Marisa Tomei (Lola), Mark Feuerstein, Lauren Holly, Ashley Johnsonā€¦ Alan Alda, Judy Greer, Sarah Paulson, Loretta Devine, Logan Lerman. Cameo: Bette Midler.

Trivia: Remade in India in 2004, China in 2011, and as What Men Want in 2019.
