Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a swinging bachelor scaling the corporate ladder of one of Chicagos hottest ad agencies. But Nicks fast-track success is derailed when the agency overlooks him and hires beautiful Darcy McGuire (Helen Hunt) as the new creative director. As Nicks prospects begin to dim, he is jolted by a freak accident that leaves him with an extraordinary ability: he can hear what women think and want! Using his newfound gift to his advantage, Nick schemes to undermine Darcy, until something happens that he did not account for he hears his own inner voice... and realises he is in love. Co-starring Marisa Tomei and Alan Alda, What Women Want is a laugh-out-loud celebration of the sexes. (Icon Home Entertainment)

An enjoyable comedy that has quite a few deaf spots, but never slips into awkwardness. Sinatra's music perfectly illustrates this, the comedy genre suits Mel Gibson and the great actress Helen Hunt is excellent. The film loses its breath a bit at the end, so I see it as a decent 3*.

While Mel lets his charisma and undeniable great comedic talent work to the fullest, there’s no one who can second him. And that includes the screenwriters and the director.

A romantic comedy with a great cast, with everything a good romantic comedy needs. An unusual plot, Mel Gibson and great chemistry between the central pair. Helen Hunt plays an excellent supporting role to Gibson. They complement each other perfectly and they make the story believable. Possible. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? That’s the main thing.
