Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Amusing Mel Gibson Film.
There is Mel Gibson; and, then there is the rest of the cast. Aside from Gibson, the supporting actors are pretty much like the draperies or air conditioning. They serve as background for Gibsons action. Now, Gibson is not Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, or Billy Crystal, or the other comedian/actors in and around his age, he is not a funny actor at all. Nevertheless in this film he gives an acceptable performance. The gimmick, his being able to hear women's thoughts (why not men's thoughts as well?--answer, it would not serve the plot as well), is not used with any particular creativity, but it does work to set up a number of key scenes. Over-all, to my surprise, it was a moderately amusing film with some fun
