Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
A bit contrived but the actors make it work
If you enjoy Mel Gibson, and can appreciate Helen Hunt, this could be enjoyable, light entertainment. I enjoyed it, but was disappointed because, with a little work, it could have been fabulous. The plot took a long time to really start, some of the humor was cliche, some of the "women's viewpoints" were over-generalized, and the main character's "change of viewpoint" was a bit overkill. However, watching Mel and Helen act together made it work for me - the on-screen chemistry was there, and the overall movie intent came across as genuine.Enjoy with popcorn and your girlfriends!
