What Women Want (2000)
Average Rating: 5.7/10

Even though Gibson is a good sport in his role, What Women Want is a rather conventional, fluffy comedy-romance that doesn't make good use of its premise.

It should be called What Moviegoers Want, because it appeals to both sexes, without pandering to or demeaning either of them.
Top CriticIt's a romantic comedy with a distinctly modern, delicate but sharp, satirical cutting edge.
Gibson turns in one of those rare comedy performances that, every so often, manages to snag an Oscar nomination. And, you know, he deserves one.
Gibson keeps this movie afloat.
English's attempts to fit The Women into a modern setting are intelligent, but that, unfortunately, does not suffice, because the film is so limp in so many other ways.
Mel Gibson is at his most megawatt movie star charming.
Though it isn't quite Oscar material, Mel Gibson gives what may be the most entertaining big-star performance of its year.
What Women Want may seem like a one-note sitcom sort of movie, but it's funnier and a layer or two deeper than that.
Takes a promising idea and buries it under subplots and speeches that don't know when to quit.
