However, the script is the biggest problem here. Hunt as Darcy is underwhelming, and there's also a host of uninteresting supporting characters that don't give Gibson a whole lot of help. One positive about this movie is Gibson's performance, who embodies the "man's man" charmer persona and carries this film for long stretches. I won't give away the ending (unsatisfying as it is), but suffice it say that it wraps things up in conventional rom-com style. At first, Nick uses his new-found power for personal gain, both personally and professionally, as he steals ideas from Darcy and passes them off as his own. The film follows Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson), a chauvinist ad exec who accidentally gains the ability to hear women's thoughts after being passed over for a work promotion in favour of newly-hired Darcy (Helen Hunt). An ingenious premise wasted on fluffy, inconsequential fare, "What Women Want" had the potential to be so much more.
