We live here a lot of events that look more comedy and romance. The story tells about a woman who found herself boxed out by the male sports agents in her profession. But it is a strange thing for her. She will face another thing that will be strange also because she gains an unexpected edge over them when she develops the ability to hear men's thoughts in her work place and life.
Henson brings strength, radiance, precision, and presence to the gags and playful situations and to the drama, however mild it is; she lends the movie's artifices a surprising illusion of substance.
Impishly wooden and convoluted...a lazy tiptoe through tripe perceptions of what an alpha female perceives as relating to her meathead male colleagues.
The concept of a woman being a "winner" and of being the best version of herself because she has a better understanding of "what men want"? That ain't it.
Henson is a gifted actress and physical comedian. She manages to hold together "What Men Want" with the sheer force of her powerful charisma, but the film around her is harried, messy and woefully underwritten.
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.
