Product: What Women Want [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Fun. Funny. Romantic. Probably WHAT MOST WOMEN WANT.
Hollywood superstar MEL GIBSON (The Patriot) plays Nick Marshall-the ladies' man who is about to be replaced by his new nemesis, the beautiful HELEN HUNT (As Good As it Gets). So after a shocking -electrical- accident, Nick wakes up only to find out that he can hear what women think, and that he is the luckiest man alive, because he knows what women want. Now, Nick plans to steal his new boss's ideas and win back his position.MY REVIEW:"Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt do a great job playing two enemies who end up falling in love. There are some hilarious scenes, but the rest mostly goes to the elderly folk style humor. Ages 35+ will get a kick out of this movie! But for those of us under that age, you will find that for the most part, this movie is great fun, but there are those points of the film that are just blank, and have no appeal to a younger audience.Yet, overall, the film is pretty good. There is no doubt that this movie is funny, but it seems to have been meant, mostly for women, of course, and an older audience. Other films for those of you who liked this one might enjoy-- YOU'VE GOT MAIL, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS and AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS. Check this fun film out for a good laugh."
