Thats the Mel I like!,
By Maui (Portland, OR, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Women Want (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie is incredibly funny. Mel Gibson went from a macho pig to a metrosexual in all of 30 minutes ;) Aside from the great music and wonderful cast, this movie is pretty family friendly and great for all those guys who want to know what women really want. Heres a hint guys...They want you to listen to them!

A laugh a minute comedy,
By
This review is from: What Women Want (VHS Tape)
Cast: Mel Gibson ... Nick Marshall Great comedy. Nick Marshall was raised by a showgirl mother, and has always been pampered by women, of whom he takes advantage. His ex-wife gets remarried and his teenaged (high school sophomore) daughter comes to visit while the ex-spouse is on honeymoon. Nick works for a large ad agency and expects to be named Creative Director, but instead the agency head (Alan Alda) hires Darcy McGuire (Helen Hunt) to fill the position because they need to address the women's market. Simultaneously, Nick gets the shock of his life when he falls in a bathtub full of water with a hairdryer, resulting in his ability to hear women's thoughts. This is truly a funny situation comedy. I would never have expected Gibson to do so well in comedy. Helen Hunt, of course, is great. The film has a large cast, and the director (a woman, naturally) Nancy Meyers does a superb job. This is not a great movie, perhaps, but it is rich comedy and very entertaining. Joseph (Joe) Pierre

Meeting of the Minds,

This review is from: What Women Want (VHS Tape)
I found What Women Want to be an enlightening fun jaunt about relationships. Mel Gibson (Nick Marshall) does his best when he is in the comical mode, and his wisecracking moves are reminescent of the romantic comedies of old. Helen Hunt (Darcy McGuire)isn't that bad either despite her almost hard-nosed demeanor in presenting the professional woman of the twenty-first century. The movie follows in the predictable plotline of here's the situation and who ends up winning in the end. The relationship between Nick and his daughter dangles with incohesion as well as his concern for Erin, the invisible office "runner", which may have been a way to present more of Nick's softer side. However, his hard-nosed side was quite weak in presentation. Nevertheless, the film was a laugh a minute. It would be a riot if men and women could actually hear each other's inner voices. Ah, that's why we have the movies.

This Woman Wants Her Money Back,
By Baroness Von Grim "Ophelia Grim" (Verslums) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Women Want (Widescreen) (DVD)
I adore romantic comedies and am capable of suspending disbelief with the best of them, but this movie inspired neither chuckle or teardrop, just the overwhelming desire to kick myself for renting it.Mel Gibson is his usual "I'm too cute for my own good" self as he half-hamedly works his way through this inane story about an ad man (one of the usual careers for movie characters) who finds himself far more devilishly charming than others do. After a jolt to his under used brain he obtains the ability to read minds - but, for some mysterious yet convenient reason, only those of women. Instead of rubbing his hands together, laughing fiendishly, and start plotting to take over the world, he uses this new super human power to seduce the ladies, connive his way into a promotion, and manipulate his daughter. Of course, he learns some mighty important lessons in the process and changes into a better dad and a nice guy. Helen Hunt is given nothing new to work with and might as well be doing an episode of her old sitcom without the laughs. A perplexing amount of people seem to love this movie which must mean I have far superior taste <sticks nose in air> or else I'm just some twisted old hag who'd rather knit sweaters from my dog's hair then embrace this gift that Hollywood has so generously bestowed upon us. Either way, I still consider this a lame excuse for a romantic romp.

What WERE they thinking?,

This review is from: What Women Want (Widescreen) (DVD)
Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt are both fine actors, and no doubt have their choice of dozens of great roles anytime they want them. So how did they wind up in this stilted, overproduced piece of jetsam? I should know by now that any film written or directed by Nancy Meyers is going to stink, but somehow I watched this one anyhow. Big mistake! Every scene feels contrived; you can just see the writers going "now comes the scene where.... " If the same premise had been developed by the "Seinfeld" team, it could have been hilarious. As-is, it's heavy-handed and moralizing through and through. And Gibson gives his hammiest performance since ... well, ever. Ugh! I'm giving it two stars (rather than one) because Helen Hunt's warmth and sincerity make it at least bearable, and the production values are quite good for the most part.
