What Women Want

Pros: Mel Gibson, bikini waxing and El Grande.
Cons: Helen Hunt, the script, the pacing, the plot, and the movie.

Sometimes you must judge a movie solely by the "feel-good" factor, a percent of averages. Allow me to include a little bit of stereotypical thinking here and when you roll your eyes, keep in mind that I have a right to my fantasy in reviewing...

Pros: A very touching and humorous film.
Cons: Watching Mel Gibson in tights!

If you are looking for the perfect couples movie for Valentine, then the movie What Women Want (2000) is for you. This movie is a very touching and humorous film dealing with Mel Gibson falling in love and reconnecting with his teenage...

Pros: I'm a sucker for Gibson
Cons: story is a bunch of fluff, so is Hunt's character

The Oracle says: Delta Burke has a Bacon number of 2.

Delta Burke was in Sordid Lives (2000) with Beth Grant
Beth Grant was in Flatliners (1990) with Kevin Bacon ***


Weird, yes I am. Where I didn’t...

Pros: light and funny, good acting, admirable cast
Cons: unbelievable

What Women Want was an enjoyable movie, albeit
one that could be construed as a chick-flick or date movie,
produced and directed by Nancy Meyers, and with a great cast,
starring Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall, and probably best...

Pros: A romantic comedy with great acting that women AND men can enjoy!
Cons: The very last scenes are a little anti-climatic.

What Women Want is a romantic comedy that even men will enjoy. In fact, we rented this movie after my brother-in-law recommended it to my husband. At the movie’s end, as is our habit, we rated this movie: I gave it an A-, my husband gave it a B-....

Pros: Gibson waxing his legs and wearing pantyhose, Hunt
Cons: simple plot

I saw this movie about a month ago and am still having problems trying to digest that Gibson was actually wearing pantyhose! Hmm, but I guess that he gets paid enough to cover his embarrassment. What Women Want was definitely a movie to give you a...

Pros: Judy Greer, Marisa Tomei and Lauren Holly have small but well done roles.
Cons: Ashley Johnson is terrible! Plot is weak. Hero learns little from his trials.

If you're looking for something intellectually stimulating, forget it. If you're looking for insightful or innovative, wrong movie. If you think you'll learn something about women, not here. And if you're looking for fall off your chair funny, this ain't...

Pros: Mel Gibson in pantyhose
Cons: Helen Hunt's fake tan

What do women want? It's the age-old question that men have been trying to figure out for centuries. Although men have cohabitated with women since the beginning of time, they never seem to be able to figure us out. Being a women, I'm not even sure...

Pros: Gibson and Hunt make a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy sparkle with charm and chemistry
Cons: I expected more than trite cliches from a premise like this

Ug the caveman drags the haunch of wooly mammoth through the front door and drops it at the feet of his wife, Org. Ug’s chest swells with pride and he beams at Org. “Ug bring home dinner right on time like you ask. It take Ug many days and many...

Pros: Some of Mel's innate charm occasionally peeks through all the contrived and slow-moving artifice.
Cons: Stale jokes, wasted actors, ancient stereotypes, insulting screenplay/

It's awful to see an actor you really like appear in such a terrible movie. With the matinee-idol looks and charm to spare, Mel Gibson is the textbook definition of a movie star. Women adore him, men admire him and every agent in the universe wants him...

Pros: Gibson shows perfect comic timing.
Cons: Hunt is sadly lacking; too many sub-plots.

What do women want? Good question. Me, I’d say something like a monkey with a six-pack of lager, but then again I haven’t had sex in 17 months, so what do I know? Well, if you believe director Nancy Meyers what women want is a man who not only...

Pros: The concept was good. I could see this being great.
Cons: Give me a break . . .

What Women Want is more Hollywood BS packaged to look like female friendly fare. Give me a break! This is NOT about women. It’s a male ego trip wrapped up nice and pretty and tied off with a sorta female SLAM-DUNK at the end (which is not...

Pros: Mel and Helen are nice eye candy, some good laughs.
Cons: Predictable, continues and fosters unrealistic myths about relationships.

What do women want? Mel Gibson? A perfect body? Chocolate? An instant relationship with Prince Charming? Probably all of the above and more.

I went to see this movie with some friends and my husband, who moaned "chick flick" when he was...

Pros: A pretty good idea for a movie plot.
Cons: The humor is a little flat and the supporting cast isn't great.

When I saw that Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt were going to get together on a movie I figured it would be a pretty good movie despite itself. A good actor and a leading lady that can show charisma with even an average leading man sounds like a potential...

Pros: Gibson, good humor, hell... all of the acting.
Cons: You don't learn much, the word "make-out", and the fast love.

Perhaps the most charming actor around today, setting aside DJ Qualls, is Mel Gibson. Yeah, you can go all weird on us and hate the guy, but you can't deny that he has charm. Just look at that smile. Should be at the top of the page (but maybe not, given ...
