tbills2 I'm a man and I absolutely adore What Women Want. What Women Want has the absolute hottest + best looking + man + woman cast looking at their absolute best + hottest, top to bottom, and back up to the top again, ever! Everybody in it's soooooo gorgeous and bright and beautiful, especially Helen, and positively Marisa, and I guess Mel...and dead seriously Lauren, and without a doubt sweet Sarah, and clearly young cute Ashley, and of course Delta, and don't forget about Valerie, and incredibly Judy, and you better believe Lisa, and you bet Diana Maria, and Loretta too, and definitely real cute Ana and I almost forgot sweet legendary Bette and I'm thinking Mark and Alan too. I've never seen Helen Hunt look so good, ouch! Helen's hurting me with her hotness. She's beaming! I love Helen in this and I love Helen in everything and I really, really love Marisa Tomei too and I really, really love Marisa in The Wrestler + My Cousin Vinny. Mel Gibson accounts for the vast percentage of sexy charm for the lady viewers I think, and the incredibly beautiful and heavy hitting female lineup hits a home run game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 9th by my count, and a couple of triples too and some doubles and so many singles + 1 2 run bomb and a 3 run jack in the 3rd + they stole some bases and even had a sacrifice bunt squeeze play! I love how sweet and how sexy the girls are in this like 34% Helen, 23% Marisa, 11% Lauren, 9% Sarah, 8% Judy, 5% Ashley, 3% Lisa, 2% Delta and Valerie, and 1% each for Ana and Diana and Loretta and 0% for sweet Bette because I honestly did forget her = 100% of my full devoted + computative love. I love all the women in What Women Want + What Women Want is really 1 of my favorite movies to watch when I'm in the nice mood for an enjoyable sexy romp. It's really, really fantastic + terrifically well done, and super sexy, God, a legit 8 no doubt. Nancy Meyers' easily one of my most fond writers + directors. What Women Want is such a romantic, such a so sweet, so incredibly sexy, a very intelligent, and funny, good movie like me + I'm good at math. Mel Gibson + Helen Hunt x 1 single working father obtaining the superability to hear what women think / its sweet geniusness = What Women Want, love it! This is really like a 10 outta 10. Mel and Helen's beautiful. Thanks for reading this long and overbearing and lonely review but we finally got through it like one of those long, overbearing, and lonely overnights stuck in the office working into the wee hours of the morning yearning for just a touch of affection. I love Helen and I love Mel, I superlove Marisa and I also superlove Helen. I love What Women Want. It's the best kind of picture to invest in and there's many other enjoyable aspects of it too, like tons.
erawillmoth I did not like this film at all, even despite the fact the humour was executed well. The main point of the movie seemed to be to show the main character Marshall, played by Gibson, that women actually did have feelings and personalities. The way women were portrayed in the movie, however, seemed to me to be counterproductive to this, since the majority of them (I won't say all because I don't have a photographic memory of the film) came across as shallow and as being mere accessories to the plot, rather than characters in themselves. The only women who had one iota of personality (excluding Marshall's teenaged daughter, who probably had a personality to make up for the fact that the filmmakers morally couldn't sexualise her) seemed to be the secondary main character McGuire, whose thoughts still managed to centre the majority of the time on Marshall and her opinions of him, or, conveniently, on some new idea Marshall could exploit.The main problem of the film to me was that Marshall did not seem to learn anything at all. He apparently was so misogynistic that it didn't occur to him women were independent beings capable of thought and this 'myth' for him seems to have by the end been debunked, but the idea that he supposedly learnt that women were equal to men didn't come across. In fact, the film seemed to make valid his opinion that women were only there for sex with men (eg. the end, in which Marshall ends up having sex with McGuire). McGuire's personality, in fact, seems to have been written into the film purely to make her 'hard to get', and therefore further drives home the message that women are there for men's benefit.This is the most misogynistic film I have ever seen.
fariduddin-k I personally like romantic comedies and i have watched a whole lot of them, i watched this movie with out any expectations and was pleasantly surprised, even though the story was like been there seen that kind.Five minutes in to the movie there was a smile on my face, there were some comedy scenes which made you laugh-out loudly and acting by Mel Gibson was carefree and charming, while Helen Hunt had not much to do. I wish the father-daughter relationship angle was explored more but overall i would give it a six.Nice movie if you want to relax & forget your worries for a while. Escapist Cinema. My recommendation is watch it. This movie has been added to my collection.
vintkd This is one of those rare comedies that I'm not tire re-watching with great pleasure. I'm sure, every man at Earth dreams to know what really women want and I think even women don't know it answer. This film will not give up exact an answer this question but it's hinting exactly. Remarkable director Nancy Meyers was able to make film about relationship men and women that will be interesting for everyone. Mel Gibson is the star of action movies terrific showed himself in comedian role, proving what he can laugh at himself too. Charming Helen Hunt make perfect portrait of modern woman who is active, confident in herself, independent but as well she is vulnerable, touching and tender in her inner world. In that film there are many beautiful women as Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, Lauren Holly, Judy Greer, Sarah Paulson, Lisa Edelstein and therefore for me "What Women Want" like a feast.
