“What Women Want” is a romantic comedy film released in 2000, directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. The film tells the story of Nick Marshall (played by Mel Gibson), a confident and chauvinistic advertising executive who suddenly gains the ability to hear women’s thoughts after a freak accident. Initially, Nick sees this newfound ability as a curse, but he soon learns to use it to his advantage in his personal and professional life.

As Nick starts hearing the inner thoughts of women, he uses this knowledge to manipulate and seduce them, but eventually, he begins to understand and empathize with the women around him. He becomes more sensitive and respectful towards women and starts using his abilities to help his colleagues, including Darcy McGuire (played by Helen Hunt), a talented and intelligent advertising executive whom Nick initially views as his competition.

Throughout the film, Nick’s relationships with women, including his daughter, ex-wife, and new love interest Darcy, undergo significant transformations as he gains a deeper understanding of their desires, concerns, and perspectives. The story follows Nick’s personal growth as he becomes a better person, develops genuine connections with the women in his life, and realizes the importance of true communication and empathy.

“What Women Want” was a commercial success and received generally positive reviews for its humor and performances. It explores gender dynamics and the importance of understanding and respecting the opposite sex, while also providing entertaining and comedic moments.
