Saw this at the cinema when it first came out and have liked the film ever since. Yes its a romantic comedy. Don't let that put you of. It is a lot of fun and laughs shared for both sexes as Nick Marshall( Mel Gibson)finds his life style and relationship philosphy challenged and changed following an accident after which he finds he can hear the most intimate thoughts of females (even french poodles). Darcy McGuire (Helen Hunt)takes the job Nick has been waiting for. Nick struggles to come to terms with this new 'super' power whilst dealing with his estranged teenage daughter but manages to find time to undermine Darcy by stealing her thoughts and ideas. It is all very funny. Well written with some great performances from the supporting cast. Bette Middler as his Psychiatrist is hilarious. Don't snuggle up to your partner till later in the film as some of the early scenes (Gibson waxing his legs while wearing support tights is priceless) will make you laugh out loud. The feel good factor is also high in this one. Great for a romantic night in.Read full review

I LOVED THIS FILM IT'S SO FUNNY, WAS PLAYED ON MY PORTABLE DVD PLAYER AND I WATCHED IT EARLY EVENING SO IT DIDN'T FINISH TOO LATE, I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP ON EBAY,
Mel gibson, lets be honest is a manly man. this film is a new twist on him as an actor but more importantly a great insight to the womens mind. this review is for the guys, not because i slate women but more because i hope men will watch this film and learn a little something about the complexed mind of the woman. Mel plays Nick marshall, an advertising exec, who when asked to sample some ladies cosmetic items has an epithany, when waking realises he can hear womens thoughts. a great gift you may think until it becomes apparent he can hear all thoughts of all women. Imagine being a guy and having a nice moment with the lady of your dreams only to hear in her mind things are not as great as you believed. Enter helen hunt, the love interest.darcy maquire. Darcy is hired by the company as Nicks boss, and is well aware of his failings as a womaniser. Nick uses her thoughts to change the opinion she has of him and more importantly the feelings. Men, watch this film, it is of course girly but will make you realise that all men believe they are the alpha male and they can do know wrong! this will put you straight. Well done to Nancy myers for a triumph of a film, very funny and also educational.Read full review
This film does not even raise the eyebrows of any female, that I know, that has watched it...this film does not really allow women to learn anything about men. Nothing that they didn't already know, anyway. Why-oh-why do all the men that have watched it feel that they have learnt something amazing about women and how they think? The main (Male) character 'Nick Marshall' played by Mel Gibson, does not have any problems attracting women, or so the audience is lead to believe...it appears that they swoon at his charm and wit. Most men wish they could have an easy rapport with women and have them laugh at their jokes and show an interest in their ideas etc. It isn't until 'Nick' has a rather 'unfortunate' accident in his bathroom that he is in the 'fortunate' position to 'understand' the women around him. The first things he learns is what the females in his life, both at work and around him generally, truly think...and who would have believed it??? There is not a man alive that would not love to have this 'ability'. To be able to 'listen' to women and actually 'hear what they say'. To 'Hear' a woman talk and then 'understand' what it is she actually meant... This is a great film and the leading lady 'Darcy McGuire' is played very well by Helen Hunt. It is through 'Darcy' that we men will learn a lot about womens thought processes...if we just listen closely enough. All in all a very good film that will have a some of the less 'fortunate' men in the world locking themselves in the bathroom with a hair dryer. Thank god for electrical trip switches eh?Read full review
The idea that a man is able to eaves drop on women's thoughts is a good one. The idea of casting Mel Gibson as the man is also a good one. Unfortunately every other idea director Nancy Meyers and writers Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa had wasn't so good. The result being that What Women Want is a sprawling and tedious romantic comedy that lacks conviction and more alarmingly, romance.
What do women want? Do you ever think this when your are trying to chat up a women, when you are having sex with a women, or just walking in the street. What do they actully want well with this movie some of those questions will be answered by nick marshall. i love this movie this is mel gibson acting at his finist. a funny, serious, down to earth movie a Great buy...
What women want is a smashing romantic comedy. But in all fairness for all men unlucky with women out there, you should be taking notes from this film. It may be a comedy but most of its is actually true. Although I shouldn’t try sitting in the bath with the hair dryer on just to get Gibsons special power, it really isn’t such a wise thing to do. The only let down to the film for me was the fact I cant help thinking that Helen Hunt is cheating on Paul Reiser a bit after the TV show Mad About You. But over all this is a lovely film, perfect for a nice evening with a glass of wine by the fire.
A great romantic comedy, providing insight into 'what women want.' Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt are fabulous in the lead roles. A must see.
