What Women Want

CriticsCritics: 50
AudienceAudience: 6.3

A cocky advertising executive is passed over for a promotion and soon gains the ability to hear women's thoughts after an accident. He initially uses this unusual gift for professional and personal advantage, but the experience challenges his assumptions and pushes him toward greater empathy.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like light romantic comedies with a high-concept twist, workplace rivalry, and an imperfect lead learning empathy; Not for you if you dislike dated gender humor or predictable sentimentality.
