| | What Women Want (2000): Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt, Marisa Tomei, Mark Feuerstein - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | Basically, all the women in his life hate him, but Nick is completely clueless in his "man's man" sort of way, until a fateful accident involving a hair dryer and a bathtub zaps him into a state where he can hear what women think. |
 | | The title actually represents the biggest problem I have with the movie -- the assumption, in answer to Freud's famous question, that all women want the same things from life, from love, and from relationships -- to be heard and respected. |
 | | The assumption that listening, kindness, and respect are the same things to all women and that real men can not display these attributes without the help of some freak accident is as ludicrous as it is annoying. |
