Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a womanizing ad executive specializing in T&A for men. He thinks he’s on top of the world. His ex-wife is getting remarried, and he’s expecting to be promoted. The problem is his boss Dan (Alan Alda) is losing accounts for women. So Dan hires outsider Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt) as his superior. Meanwhile his daughter Alex (Ashley Johnson) is staying with him for 2 weeks while her mother honeymoons. Then he accidentally electrocutes himself and hits his head in the bathroom. When he wakes up, he finds that he can read women’s mind.
Nancy Meyers may know the mind of a woman, but I don’t know what she thinks Mel Gibson’s character is doing. He is going crazy for no reason. First if she wants to have a men’s man, why would she have him drink red wine, or watch men’s gymnastics? If a straight man lands on men’s gymnastics, he would switch channel as quickly as possible. And while it’s great that he listens to ol’ Blue Eyes, why is he dancing like Fred Astaire? And why does he go crazy hearing women’s thoughts? He’s completely overacting, and Nancy Meyers shouldn’t encourage it. It is not funny. It’s just stupid. He’s acting like a BITCH. or MITCH.
And he has to go to a shrink to realize that reading minds is a superpower. All of a sudden, he’s an idiot and a schizo. If you can get pass this, Mel calms down and the movie improves. But then the final dialog is so clunky, that it made me wince. I understand what Meyers is trying to do by switching the gender roles. But a guy would never say that to a woman. So why should Helen Hunt say that to Mel Gibson?
Before his well publicised meltdown in 2006, this was as good as it gets for Mel Gibson as an actor. A romantic lead, a little bit of crooning like ol blue eyes and a few dance steps like Fred Astaire witout resorting to any violence. It is such as shame the story wa so humdrum.
Gibson is a womanising lothario, Nick Marshall. An arrogant advertising executive who has made it big, the underlings at the firm especially the females get short shrift.
The ad agency wants to target women as they think it is losing ad business for the female market. Marshall’s boss hires Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt) who is brought in from the outside as Marshall’s superior to specifically target the female ad market which causes Marshall some distress.
After a mishap in the bathroom when Marshall electrocutes himself, he finds that he can read women’s mind. At first he is dazed and confused but soon learns that he can use this skill for his own advantage. Both for professional and personal reasons. He steals Maguire’s ideas and gets a major account but soon repents.
This film could had been so much better. The gimmick feels stretched and the film’s pacing drops in the middle. It is amiable enough but actually wastes its cast that includes Alan Alda, Marisa Tomei and Bette Midler.
Nick Marshall is a successful advertising executive who lives a bachelor life of flirting and being selfish. He thinks he has every woman eating out of his hand but his life is complicated when he is turned down for promotion and a woman, Darcy McGuire, brought in from outside. However things get worse when he has an accident at home that results in him being able to hear the thoughts of women. After initial panic he consults a psychiatrist who advises him to use the ability to his advantage.
I ignored this at the cinema I think that it was released around the same time as Euro 2000 and it appeared to me to be there to `give the women what they want’ that is, to get away from the football. The trailers suggested to me that it would be quite an average and lightweight screwball comedy. I watched it recently and I feel that the trailer sold the film perfectly. For the most part it is simply a lightweight screwball comedy not too removed from those of the 40’s except with modern day irony thrown in. It isn’t hilarious but neither is it dull. In fact it’s quite amiable the whole way through.
Only the final 25/20 minutes are a bit of a drag. I knew that at some point the film had to try and have a logical conclusion. At this point three `serious’ plot strands get sown up and the film gets a little serious. It takes much of the energy out of the film and leaves you remembering the more sentimental side of the film and not the sparky energy it had at one point.
Gibson is pretty good. This sort of fare is right up his street as it doesn’t demand too much apart from Act 1 Mel being cocky, and Act 2 Mel learning and being a nicer person. Hunt is quite good but is stuck in the straight man role here, as a result she plays second fiddle to Gibson and it does show at times. The support cast are all pretty good I suppose. Alda and Midler are nice additions but neither really makes a lasting impression.
The film goes just where you expect it to and you can probably guess the final shot of the film just by reading the plot summary, but for the most part it does have an energetic screwball comedy feel to it that is only let down by the major gear change (into `serious’) in the final quarter. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
After a blow-drier lands in his bathtub, promiscuous «man’s man» executive Mel Gibson (as Nick Marshall) develops the power to read women’s minds. A chauvinist by nature, Mr. Gibson decides to use his power to steal business ideas from successful competing female executive Helen Hunt (as Darcy Maguire). You don’t have to be Freud to figure out what happens to Gibson and Ms. Hunt.
****** What Women Want (12/13/00) Nancy Meyers
Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt, Ashley Johnson, Marisa Tomei
Every once and a while there comes a movie of which you really regret the fact that it’s premise is just fiction Life would so much easier if this was true. Dig this: Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) gets electrocuted by a hairdryer and when he comes to his senses again, he can actually READ women’s minds!! What a treat that must be! Last time I suffered slight electrocution I was shivering for 3 days and Gibson gets to understand women. Anyway about the film. It all may look fresh and light-headed but in fact it’s pretty routine and annoyingly superficial! We learn that the stuff women think about is actually ordinary and rather obvious (they don’t want to get hurt emotionally, they want to prove that there’s more to them than just a pretty face etc etc ) The screenplay contains a few major clichés, like tremendous emotional speeches and Gibson who automatically gets mistaken for a gay man. Or that dreadful moral about waiting for your `first time’ till you’re ready for it yourself?? Yuck! As far as I’m concerned, they could have done much better things with this basic idea. There are a few positive aspects to discover as well, of course. The acting for example. Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt are a terrific on-screen couple and I really wish they had been given a better script to work with. Some good acting by familiar faces in smaller roles as well, such as Alan Alda, Lauren Holly, Marisa Tomei and even Bette Midler. `What Women Want’ has got a high level of feel-good moments and feminisation message, but it’s overall pretty neutral. Good, smooth soundtrack though Lot’s of Frank Sinatra oldies!
I tend to know what women want as well : this kind of cinema. Watch it with your wife/girlfriend/mistress and you’ll definitely get lucky tonight 😉
What Women Want is a romantic comedy that features. Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt together with Marisa Tomei,Alan Alda,Lauren Holly,Ashley Johnson, and Bette Midler.The story is about a chauvinistic executive who gains the ability to hear what women are really thinking after an accident.It was was written by the following:Patrick Swidler,Josh Goldsmith,Cathy Yuspa and Diane Drake; and it was directed by Nancy Meyers.
The movie is about Nick Marshall, a Chicago advertising executive and alpha male, who grew up with his Las Vegas showgirl mother.He is a chauvinist. He is skilled at selling to men and seducing women, including local coffee attendant Lola. However, just as he thinks he’s headed for a promotion, his manager, Dan, informs him that he is hiring the talents of Darcy McGuire instead, to broaden the firm’s appeal to women.Also, his estranged 15-year-old daughter Alex is spending two weeks with him while his ex-wife Gigi goes on her honeymoon with her new husband. Alex is embarrassed by Nick, and resents his being protective when he meets her boyfriend.Needing to prove himself to Darcy and Dan, Nick attempts to think of copy for a series of feminine products that Darcy distributed at the day’s staff meeting. However he slips and falls into his bathtub while holding an electric hairdryer, electrocuting himself. The next day, Nick wakes up able to understand his maid’s thoughts as she cleans his apartment. As he walks through a park and encounters numerous women, he realizes that he can hear their thoughts, even those of a female poodle. This proves to be an epiphany for him when he hears the thoughts of his female co-workers (some of whom have slept with him and regretted it). When he goes to a previous therapist, Dr. Perkins (who also disliked him), she realizes his gift: «If Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, and you can speak Venutian, the world can be yours.»
What Women Want has an very interesting plot.Unfortunately,it does not make full use of it in the majority of the film.It essentially turns into a romantic comedy that centered on the love relationship between Nick and Darcy.Too bad that the film does not fully explore what capacity of a man being able to hear what women are thinking.That is the only problem I have with the storyline.With regards to acting,obviously,Gibson was great in his role.Special mention also goes to Hunt,Alda and Tomei.It was rather unfortunate that the film does not center on Nick’s «special power» but rather on his character development as a person,a father,an employee and his lovelife.The movie has a lot of promise with its interesting premise.Too bad that it falls into the trap of being an average romantic comedy that has a happy ending.
What Women Want is a rather conventional, fluffy comedy-romance that doesn’t make good use of its premise.
These movies are all cookiecutter projects. There’s supposed to be some stuff to occupy us until the end. In this case, it’s Mel’s facial expressions. At the end is a running of the guy to the girl to reconcile whatever problems were created. This must hold the record though for the import of that journey. Along the way, our man Mel (radical religious chauvinist) gets his girlfriend rehired, becomes «restored,» saves a redhead girl’s life, becomes a Dad again by rescuing his (also redhead) daughter, and finally resolves what we knew was coming from the very beginning.
«Lethal Weapon» superstar Mel Gibson shows his softer side in director Nancy Meyers’ «What Women Want,» an entertaining but stereotypical battle of the sexes romantic comedy that co-stars Helen Hunt, Alan Alda, and Bette Midler. Cast as ace Chicago advertising executive Nick Marshall, Gibson plays the quintessential man’s man: an unapologetic male chauvinist who believes that you can sell anything if bikini-clad babes bedeck it. Success thus far has proved Nick right, so he fully expects his chummy boss, Dan Wanamaker (Alan Alda), to promote him as the agency’s new creative director. Unfortunately, Wanamakers is in big trouble, and in an effort to save his ailing ad agency, Dan decides to target women rather than men. «Girls born in the mid-1980s control our advertising dollars,» Dan explains. «It’s a woman’s world. You can get into their pants better than anyone I know, but getting into their psyche is something else.» That said, Wanamakers hires an outsider, Darcy McGuire (Helen Hunt), recently booted from a rival agency on the basis of sexual discrimination to fill the spot that Nick thought he had sown up.
At their first meeting, Darcy gives everybody an array of feminine products: toenail polish, pantyhose, lipstick, mascara, a wonder bra, and leg wax. She asks them to concoct a campaign that will make these items irresistible to women. Nursing his bruised ego but willing to tough it out, Nick experiments with these wares to find an innovative advertising angle. Meanwhile, Nick’s ex-wife Gigi (Lauren Holly) is getting remarried and dumps his 15-year old daughter, Alex (Ashley Johnson), on him while her new husband and she head off for their honeymoon. Nick polishes his toenails, applies mascara, leg wax, and cavorts in the bathroom with a hair dryer. Accidentally, during his fantasy role-playing, he falls into the bathtub and electrocutes himself.
No, Nick doesn’t wind up with a halo and a harp. Instead, he can hear the innermost thoughts of all the women, especially his prom-bound daughter. Initially, this drives Nick totally nuts. Eventually, he appeals to his former marriage counselor (Bette Midler) and proves to her that he can read her thoughts. «If you know what women want,» Bette’s eyes bug out, «you can rule!» And rule Nick does. He uses his uncanny talent to read Darcy’s thoughts and steal her ideas. Before long Dan believes that he has misjudged not only Nick but also Darcy. Nick’s sudden sensitivity even astonishes Darcy, so that when Nike comes to court Wanamakers, the unscrupulous Nick uses Darcy’s ideas to land the account.
The premise of «What Women Want» is the stuff of classic screwball comedies. Of course, only in a movie could somebody survive electrocution and emerge as a mind reader. If you can dismiss this preposterous plot device, the subsequent comedy and romance that ensue should please both sexes. Predictably, Nick sees the error of his ways. As Mel’s first romantic comedy since 1992’s «Forever Young,» «What Women Want» qualifies as amusing fluff that gives Gibson a change of pace.
. this one’s quite good.
«What Women Want» (2000) is about a chauvinistic executive (Mel Gibson) who accidentally receives the power to hear women’s thoughts, which is both scary and enlightening (and funny). Helen Hunt plays his romantic insterest while Lauren Holly is his ex-wife and Marisa Tomei his one-night stand. Ashley Johnson is also on hand as his daughter, who is shocked when she sees her distant father showing signs of really caring.
The film runs 127 minutes and was mostly shot in Chicago with some senes in the Los Angeles area.
Nancy Meyers Directed ‘What Women Want’ is an entertaining, sweet film, that is nicely written & once again goes on-to prove how Good Mel Gibson is. As my summary says, The Marvelous Mel Gibson!
‘What women Want’ Synopsis: After an accident, a chauvinistic executive gains the ability to hear what women are really thinking.
Josh Goldsmith, Cathy Yuspa & Diane Drake’s Screenplay is entertaining & sweet. There is a lot of scope for humor & emotion, which also adds up as an advantage. Nancy Meyers has Directed the film without any inhibitions. Cinematography is standard.
Performance-Wise: Its a Mel Gibson show all the way. Helen Hunt is masterful, as always. Marisa Tomei adds wildness & spontaneity to the character she portrays, while Alan Alda looks comforted & relaxed. Lauren Holly is finely tuned. Ashley Johnson is adorable.
On the whole, ‘What Women Want’ deserves a watch for the entertainment it delivers & its leading man’s stellar performance!
Mel Gibson back before all the trouble he has gotten himself into now a days, the in between days as I like to call them, he was voted as the sexiest man alive. Surprisingly he didn’t do romantic comedies, mainly action or epic adventure films. He starred in What Women Want with Helen Hunt. This is also back when romantic comedies actually cared about their stories and the characters and were not just made for a cheap buck, so we have some actual depth to the story here. Typical with a lot of stories, what do women want? As a woman, I can give you an honest answer, I don’t know and neither does any other woman. We all want different things and that’s what this film is about, the man who thinks that he knows everything about women as most people know someone like that when you know the truth is that they’re just clueless. We’ve had a lot of plots like this where a man has dressed, talked or acted like a woman to find out what we’re thinking or why we do things the way we do them. What Women Want takes a different approach in making Mel Gibson actually hear the women’s thoughts.
Nick Marshall, a Chicago ad executive, grew up with his showgirl mother, and is a chauvinist. He is skilled at selling to men and seducing women. However, just as he thinks he’s headed for a promotion, his manager Dan informs him that he is hiring the talents of Darcy McGuire instead, to broaden the firm’s appeal to women. Needing to prove himself to Darcy and Dan, Nick attempts to think of copy for a series of feminine products that Darcy gave out. However he slips and falls into his bathtub while holding an electric hairdryer, electrocuting himself. The next day, Nick wakes up able to understand women’s innermost thoughts. Nick eavesdrops on women’s thoughts and uses their ideas as his own, but also develops real friendships with his co-workers. But as he spends more time with Darcy, he is attracted to her. Nick and Darcy begin to spend more time together, and ultimately kiss. When he manages to trump Darcy out of her idea for a new Nike ad campaign aimed at women, he regrets his selfishness, especially as it leads to her being fired and him in a compromising situation.
The film is alright, nothing too special or memorable but definitely more charming than a lot of romantic comedies. My main complaint being is just the story with Marissa Tomei’s character, Mel Gibson had been trying to get a date with her as a womanizer, then when he can hear her thoughts she of course thinks he’s the greatest man in the world. As soon as he starts falling for Helen Hunt, he kind of just drops Marissa making you wonder if he had really learned anything at all, it was a story that was not needed and hurt the film. Also same with the «nerd in glasses» girl, very dark and again not really needed or could have been a bit lighter. But What Women Want is a crisp and fun little comedy that is worth the watch, Mel and Helen were a pleasure to watch together and had good chemistry. Some very touching moments, even if the script was a bit of a cliché. But it’s a harmless movie that I did enjoy over all.
