SHE CAN HEAR MEN’S THOUGHTS. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
Hard-charging Atlanta sports agent Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) acquires the ability to hear what men are thinking. Two decades after What Women Want came this gender-swapping remake, but it isnāt much better than the original. Henson is good as the ambitious, talented businesswoman whoās held back at work but uses her new ability to great advantage. Josh Brener, as her long-suffering assistant, adds extra spark, but like so many other comedies it goes on too long without offering enough laughs.
