Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Chauvinist turns compassionate
Nick (Mel Gibson) is a male chauvinist in the clearest sense. A top dog in an advertising agency, Nick finds out that the boss has hired Darcy (Helen Hunt), a brilliant advertising person who has gotten plenty of money with her work and expertise.While working at home with women's products, Nick gets electrocuted and the next day hears women's thoughts. Eventually using this to his advantage, he steals ideas/thoughts from Darcy to get credit. The movie is full of some funny, some serious situations and thoughts. Eventually, Nick turns compassionate, and feels guilty toward taking advantage of Darcy with his mind reading. One advantage came by hearing one girls thoughts of suicide and preventing her from doing that.Different kind of Mel Gibson movie, but his humor at times, reminds me of Riggs from the Lethal Weapon Series.Except for some sexual situations and cursing, the movie is not too bad.
