What Women Want (2000)
Member Rating:  
A man finds himself getting an unexpected crash course in the psychology of contemporary women in this romantic comedy. Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a successful advertising executive living in Chicago who has long fancied himself a ladies' man, though he has precious little understanding of women beyond figuring out how to seduce them. One day, Nick receives a substantial electric shock in an accident in his bathroom; while he's not seriously injured, when he comes to, he discovers something remarkable has happened -- he can suddenly hear what women are thinking. At first, Nick finds himself learning all sorts of things he didn't want to know, but he also realizes how this can be used to his advantage -- especially after his old boss, Dan Wanamaker (Alan Alda) is replaced by a woman, Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt). But Nick begins to feel differently about his unusual gift when he discovers Darcy is infatuated with him, and he finds himself falling for her. What Women Want also features Bette Midler as Nick's analyst, Delta Burke and Valerie Perrine as two of his co-workers, and Marisa Tomei as one of Nick's significant others. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A must see. A great film to watch that will make you laugh and wish that you knew just what women want too.

This is a very entertaining movie. Makes one wonder what it would be like to have the ability to read minds...yet understand the curse it comes with. Good acting, nice cast with plenty of laugh out loud comical scenes. A very creative and enjoyable movie to watch again.

I like it, knowing that most Men wish that we had that kind of power of "intuitive knowings" of what women really want. Sometimes, us men think we know what women want.., when we need to work at what they really want. Mel Gibson and that lady really played an exciting role. Thanks
