  I Guess Some Women Want Mel Gibson
Review created: 08/03/06(updated 05/04/07)
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Mel Gibson would be wiser to stay away from anything regarding 'what women want' since his real life sexism is blatantly obvious to any savvy observer. I imagine he enjoyed getting to play himself in this flick--a chauvinist who calls women "baby," (I'd say, "that's Dr. Baby to you!"). Director, producer, and writer Nancy Meyer has finally played with Mel Gibson in a role the "heddon" (quoting the L.A. police report article on Courttv.com) belongs in. Using woman-defaming lines like "bitch on wheels," the 'wreckless speeding stud on booze' is exposed for the truth of who he really is both in the movie & in real life.

The only reason I even bother to review it is because Nancy Meyer brilliantly outs Mel Gibson for WHAT he really is: a supremacist. Brava to her excellent work.

I love this movie! If you want to watch Mel Gibson wax his legs, buy this DVD! Due to a crazy incident involving a hair dryer, Mel Gibson gets the fortunate (unforunate?) experience of hearing the internal thughts of women. This is how Gibson's character discovers what women want. Definately worth watching!

I really enjoyed this movie, I love comedies and this did not let me down at all. I like Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt and they play well off each other.

Rented this movie and really liked it. I knew that I would want to see this again and found it for less than what it would cost to rent it. So I made the choice to add it to my collection. Thus I purchased it on ebay and am very happy I did so.

This one is done so well you don't care who the actors are.
I buy all of the movies and my wife reviews them. She watched this one twice and enjoyed it twice. On a scale of 0 to 10 that makes this one a 10. It moves right along with the story line and keeps you interested 100% of the time. It doesn't get better than that. You are not going to walk away to make more popcorn or whatever. There are no white knuckle tense momements,, just temporary confusion which gets promptly explained away. Writing a screen play this good is rarely done. A great idea with a great presentation with a great ending. It tells an impossible story with an unexpected ending.

I like this movie, it is really funny at times. It seems to be directed at 30-40 year olds. But I don't think even 30-40 year olds think Mel Gibson is hot anymore. It makes him look like this stud who is still attractive to women even though he's old and not very nice. It is a good movie though, a lot of funny moments. Helen Hunt is great in it.

This is a fantastic movie, I love it. I wish all men had the ability to hear what we think, then maybe they'd call us and offer to pick up dinner or actually not need a hint to bring us flowers. It's great, love mel shaving.

Yes, it is another somewhat predictable Romantic-Comedy, BUT>>>I loved it! Seeing Mel Gibson "soft-shoe" around his apartment was in itself worth the purchase, not to mention the pantyhose scene. It's all about the humor and Gibson's charm; one of those characters who is morally challenged, yet you love um anyway. Helen Hunt is a bit dry in her performance, not enough spunk. (Rene Russo would have been an outstanding choice for this one.) I recommend it highly in the "ChickFlick" category.

AWESOME! I first saw this movie at the theater, and I knew this is one I would want for my personal movie library. I watch it again and again from time to time. Mel Gibson is hilarious in this film. The performances by Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt were both fantastic! I highly recommend this movie!!

Whats not to like, Mel Gibson is fabulous as well as Helen Hunt, it's a fun loving trip through the "men are from mars...women are from venus" concept.

  Typical Mel Gibson comedy... good show

This was a fun little flick about one man's experience hearing the thoughts of women. He learns in the process that he wasn't a very considerate person, and he learned exactly what co-workers and family really thought about him. He trys to use this temporary gift to destroy one woman's career but soon learns to fall in love.

This was a fun show and was well directed. The dialog was zippy. Good show.

  Hosed (A review of What Women Want)
Review created: 05/21/01
by: AngelaBar -- a member of Epinions

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 What Women Want, directed by Nancy Meyers. Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall is a steak dinner with tiny red potatoes, dripping in Au Jus gravy. Mel Gibson is eye-candy, stomach-candy, and diabetically drippingly sweet-candy to my eyes. I'm not asking for forgiveness for being a stereotypical woman. I'm just asking for seconds. Gazing at Mel rolling a tube of..

  IT'S MY LIFE WRITE/OFF What Women Want (2000)
Review created: 01/23/02
by: cntaur5-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

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 daughter in a most unusual way. Mel Gibson plays the character Nick Marshall, a big time advertising executive and male chauvinist. Although I ve never considered myself to be a male chauvinist, I can identify with Nick being a single divorced man. In Atlanta, GA the ratio of men to women was almost 20 to 1, which made dating very easy. What s unique about this.

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 find O, Brother, Where Art Thou funny, I found this movie entirely hilarious. For one thing, I love Gibson. I find his comedic roles just as entrancing as his serious roles. Kinda Cary Grant like, where just a look can cause laughter. I always found Cary Grant one of the best deadpan comics alive. Do not get me wrong, this wasn t an earth shattering movie. In fact, it was borderline tripe, but I...

  What Women & Men Can Enjoy Together!
Review created: 07/01/01
by: sgentile -- a member of Epinions

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-. We both enjoyed it; only I enjoyed it a little bit more. I want to note right here that if the movie had not ended the way it did (I found it anti-climatic) I would have given this movie 5-stars and a solid A. Right off the back the casting of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt should tip you off that the acting in this movie is enjoyable. I wasn t sure if...

  What about What Women Want?(edited)
Review created: 12/16/00
by: Suzer -- a member of Epinions

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 known for being drop dead gorgeous and those baby blue eyes, oh take me Mel, I mean, "The Patriot", "Braveheart", "Lethal Weapon", Helen Hunt as Darcy Maguire, best known for Mad About You, the television sitcom, and movie, "As Good as it Gets". There was plenty of other talent including Marisa Tomei, Bette Midler, Alan Alda, Valerie Perrine, Delta Burke, and Lauren Holly.
