What Women Want Reviews

An entertaining film with some really impressive messages. There are aspects of it that seem unrealistic or just provided ideas that I don't really admire in film, but it is worth watching.

I know, it might seems weird, but I actually think this movie is pretty good. Sure, it is and remains a commercial flick and it is far from being a masterpiece but, for a romantic-comedy, it is actually pretty solid and, in my opinion, it is above the other movies in this genre. To start with, obviously, the whole concept was completely preposterous and, in a lesser movie, it would have been quite terrible to behold but, for once, they managed to actually properly handle this concept and the end-result was actually rather satisfying. I think it was also a great touch to have Mel Gibson to play the lead and maybe his fan base wwas disappointed to see him in a rom-com but I thought he was a terrific choice. Indeed, in my opinion, Mel Gibson is one of the very few action stars (Bruce Willis might be the other one) who actually has some acting range (I mean, the guy managed to give a convincing performance in ‘Hamlet’ for crying out loud!) and there has always been a lot of sensitivity going on with him, at least, that’s what I felt from his acting, and I think he really delivered the goods here. Concerning Helen Hunt, I never really cared for her but she was decent here and she had some good chemistry with Mel Gibson. To conclude, I actually liked the damned thing and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

saw this movie for the first time last week,
its emotional and daring, but the concept i couldn't get my head around, hearing what women are thinking would drive me crazy, it wouldn't help me it would destroy me.
The concept tried to convey the emotion that listening to women or even people and trying to understand their feelings is what its all about not trying to impress but through compassion and care. Its a crazy concept, but it worked and brought the movie to a thoughtful end.

6/10

Everytime this is on I end up watching it - brilliant - complete fun - Mel Gibson - is quite simpley excellent. Watch and enjoy.
