Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Could have been better
This film could have been so much better than it was. It starts off on a high, goes right down about an hour into the film, and then goes back up, but never goes up quite as high as the beginning.Mel Gibson is great as Nick, although you can see he's really beginning to lose his looks - the shopping bags under his eyes really began to distract me. Up against Helen Hunt, who positively shines, Mel Gibson has really met his match. They make a cute couple during the film, although the tedious bit where they start "getting to know each other" is where the film really begins to dip.Ashley Johnson plays Nick's teenage daughter, Alex, who Nick knows nothing about, but eventually ends up saving the day. I recognised her instantly, despite being 5 years older and now a brunette. She was the young girl who slapped Hugh Grant during 9 Months. Great moment! She should be proud of that.The whole idea of the film is quite fun for both men and women to watch. Imagine if that could happen, how messed up would the world be?! A guy hearing a girl's thoughts, hearing what she really thinks about him. That could probably mess a guy up.Now where's the sequel?! 'What Men Want', that could be interesting.
