Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Chick Movie!
If you relegate all 'chick movies' to file 13, then you should definately keep your macho bones away from this one...but then you probably didn't like 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'An Affair to Remember'. This movie has much of the same mystical stuff going for it as made 'Big'(Arcade figure grants wish) and 'Somewhere in Time'(Back in time via concentration) so desireable, even though somewhat far-fetched. Other reviewers found it to drag in spots. I did not. The path toward plot resolution becomes predictable, but did not detract from the movie. 'What Women Want' is upbeat, relitively light, funny, and romantic. Mel Gibson and the rest of the supporting cast did an excellent job playing off of one another...Betts Midler does a psychiatrist cameo as well. IMO, this is the most enjoyable movie I have seen since 'Green Mile'. I gave it 5 stars because it is a movie that I will buy and watch from time to time, just as I do the other movies mentioned in this review.
