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.

Felt like it might have had some sharpness and some bite, but ended up being defanged. September 18, 2019 | Full Review…

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…

Bloated and misshapen, cramming in so much extra stuff that it's never able to make the most of what it has got. August 16, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

While this sounds pretty straightforward in theory, the script is too hyperactive to settle on one path without getting distracted by its overabundance of subplots. July 27, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

If even one part of the film had worked -- if it had been funnier or a more scathing social commentary -- I might have given it a pass despite other flaws. But everything about it systematically lets us down and fails to meet even baseline expectations. July 16, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Except for ticking the right diversity boxes and a few funny moments, this isn't even what women want let alone what men want. July 13, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
