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. Mar 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. Mar 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Taraji really invests in this film, just puts up a lot of energy for it, and it's worth watching. Mar 4, 2019 | Full Review…

It's the kind of picture in which half the cast seem to have come equipped with their own stand-up comedy routines and are determined to deliver them no matter what anyone else is doing. Feb 14, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

[What Men Want] feels entirely more rote and uninspired, featuring few elements of genuine creative ambition. Jul 3, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

For a film that touts female empowerment and regularly throws around mentions to the "Me Too" movement, What Men Want is a shallow, retrograde workplace comedy that is barely funny. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

It's just not as funny, progressive or challenging as the concept - a gender swapped remake of the Mel Gibson starrer What Women Want - would have allowed it to be. May 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Works with its tried plot device, resulting in the type of superficially pleasing comedy that audiences will lap up along with their snacks before it fades away with a more substantial meal. May 1, 2019 | Full Review…
