Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Pleasant, effortless watch
Like them or hate them, Hunt and Gibson are very professionally strong actors and roles here seem to tap into their strengths. It is hardly a chick-flick: Helen Hunt's character fulfills a fantasy of a warm, caring, unthreatening and vulnerable woman - but in the position of power; while Gibson's character is an insensitive politically incorrect male chauvinist , an image to which we men secretly aspire (we wish we could supress our softer side and go about just pinching bottoms, but we cannot do that), who, at the end of the story, becomes a warmer and better man.The plot is adequate, but the ending is week, as many esteemed Amazon reviewers have noted.I am not sure whether I would buy it, but if you are planning to rent it, the money will be well spent.
