Rating: 4.0
The word is: C H A R M
"What Women Want" is a movie that aspires to nothing more than to charm the pants off both men and women. And both Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt succeed admirably by way of their explosive on-screen attraction. Some screen pairings don't always click but this one does in the old tradition of screen lovers like Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn ("Bringing Up Baby") or Myrna Loy and William Powell("The Thin Man"). The story is a trifle, the production values are first rate, the music is seductive (check out the soundtrack)and the fact that you really do fall in love with both Mel and Helen is strange but true. This is the nature and result of an extraordinary love story. Isn't this all we could hope for when we go to the movies?
