What Women Want [DVD]

Love this film x

When a film is 2 hours long but seems to finish in about half that time,it's a very good sign.A smile rarely left my face during this movie and the bit of pathos it contains was very sweet and not overdone.Everyone is on their top game here,Gibson seems to be on a sugar rush for a lot of the time but never takes it over the top & at times is very funny.Helen Hunt could just stand still and it would be enogth for me,but she really is heartbreakingly sweet & vulnerable in this movie.When the support cast contains people like Alan Alda,you cannot go wrong.This is a romcom that is ok for both sexes to admit to liking such is the truth behind the witty scripting.There is also an excellent behind the scenes feature in the extras making this one of the best bargains you can buy on Amazon.A final thought...Helen Hunt was once quoted as saying that she had a girl next door quality that she did her best with.I only wish that she'd live next door to me!!

Well worth watching, lovely characters Mel Gibson(the smooth creep), Helen Hunt and even Marisa Tomei and not only that Alan Alda and there are more. It's really funny, even moving at times. Give it a go

I saw this film years ago on telly and never forgot it so it was my intention to buy it eventually. Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a chauvinistic user of women and he knows it. He is a very successful ad man but no idea about womens' psyche and his firm is floundering unless they tap into the womens' market. Enter Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt) played to perfection as his opposite number. She gets the job Nick should have had and he is well annoyed. A freak accident gives him the ability to listen to women and what is going on in their minds and he uses this against Darcy to get a very good account from Nike for the company. There are sub-plots about his daughter's prom dress and boyfriend, a brief affair with Marisa Tomei at the coffee shop and a visit to a shrink (Bette Midler) and these all add to the beauty of the film. As these two (Nick and Darcy) are working together so much inevitably love gets in the way and they realise that they are falling in love. Nick then gets a revelation about what he has done and after Darcy gets fired (Nick got the account not her) he goes to see her, confesses and is about to leave but love conquers all

I didn't like it much it didn't entertain me

If you can separate art from the artist this is actually quite a fun movie, had fun watching it with the gf.

As comedies go these days, quite funny and entertaining

Not a bad film
