I'll Tell You What Women Want-A Strong Ending To This Movie
Movie Summary: Man's man Nick Marshall doesn't understand women. Oh like all men he thinks he does, but he doesn't. Nick's life isn't so hot. He's never had a good relationship with any of the women in his life including his 15 year old daughter. But Nick Marshall is going to get the opportunity to change all that. One evening while waxing his legs, trying out mascara and hair mouse, Nick gets the shock of his life. He wakes up with the ability to hear women's thoughts. Now Nick can either learn from his new gift, or use it for his own selfish reasons.My Opinion: This movie looks so good. The premise of Mel Gibson hearing the thoughts of women is really intriguing. The trailers are awesome. It's even really funny and interesting in the film. Until they have to wrap everything up and end the movie. That's when everything falls apart. The ending is terribly weak. It steals all the energy and laughter that it had going up until that point. It takes what should have been a really fun and entertaining movie and leaves it flat. It's still very much worth seeing once, but it could very easily have been lots better; a classic even. It's that disappointment that stayed with me after the film ended.DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic. Extras include trailers, commentary, and documentaries. Both sound and video were pretty good.What You Should Do: Rent it. Mel makes it good enough to watch once, but not twice.
