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
