Admittedly uneven but easy to like, What Men Want proves a gender-swapped remake can work -- and the odds are substantially improved with Taraji P. Henson in the lead.

What begins as a standard gross-out affair (with a prosthetic #MeToo limb clumsily grafted to the body) ends in a treacly, glib, made-for-TV wasteland. March 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

As a film it is almost impossible to place on the ideological spectrum...Yet, from the first few scenes of this crackpot endeavour, it becomes blatantly obvious that it might not even matter. Because it is funny. And it is good. March 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

What Men Want is pure shrug cinema: not bad so much as wispily superfluous, which may not come as a surprise if you can recall the similarly disposable 2000 original. March 14, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The plot is predictable to the last programmed giggle. But Henson is pretty terrific; if you can stand comical histrionics done with style while pitched to high C, amplified to triple-f and played by the full personality orchestra. March 13, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

All in all, this bland, overlong film swings and misses way more often than it connects. March 18, 2020 | Full Review…
