Gender swapped remake of the Mel Gibson comedy focusing on a female sports agent who gains the supernatural power to read men's thoughts. Though if you're a man in her vicinity it's no surprise what you're thinking. :mnm:

I was going to say! Men are fairly transparent. And the ones who are hiding things, if the last few months are anything to go by... Well, that seems more like a horror than a comedy. :dry:
 
That's all any of you really want, I could be your daughter. And you I'm old enough to be your mom
 
Legitimately, I don't know what to say to that.
 
We all know what men want. We still to this day dont know what women want. Unlike women, men are pretty much simple beings. So why make movie about it
 
I feel like every comedian in the early 2000's made the joke that they could never make a movie called "What Men Want" because based on what we think about it couldn't be shown in theaters. :o

Pretty tame considering the title is What Men Want.
 
Yeah that’s not what most men think when they see an attractive woman.
 
Why does Tracy Morgan keep getting work? He sucks. Why do they need to put him in this? The movie looks like it could be okay or it could be bad but I'd definitely be more interested in it if he wasn't there to suck up some of Taraji's screen time.

It's like that show Morgan has with Tiffany Haddish. She's great, she's kind of the "it girl" at the moment, but of course we can't take a chance and give a woman the lead in a show when there's a washed up male actor out there who needs a job! Better make it all about him and give her a supporting role. Enough already.
 
Tracy Morgan keeps getting work because people like him?

I know it's hard to believe when you don't like said actor/singer/performer, but it's true! I can't stand Jon Hamm or anime but I don't deny they appeal to people.
 
I find him funny in bits and pieces. He was great on 30 Rock. But he’s not the most diverse actor. You’re basically paying to see him play the same character every time.
 
Yeah. He has no range; he just plays the same doofus in everything.

Many women generally don't even know what they want.
 
Looks lame. Just like the original! Mission accomplished.

I can't decide if this post is more sexist against men or women. Amazing.

"Men are simple beings"... uh, speak for yourself, dude. Last time I checked, men and women have the same amount of cells. :o

Yikes. This looks like your typical crappy January comedy and I'm not even a fan of the Mel Gibson one either. It's a shame, because after Hidden Figures which I really enjoyed I thought Taraji was better than doing stuff like this and that boring piece of crap Proud Mary, but I guess not.
 
I don't think this idea works as well gender flipped. It also flat looks like a bad sitcom. Taraji, have a talk with your agent please. Proud Mary and Acrimony are two of the worst films I've seen this year.

Enlighten me!
 
this is worse than Ghostbusters reboot. And I didnt think that was possible to top it. But here we are.


Just turrible.

Looks like what one would expect based on the concept. I never saw the original but I think I remember them advertising the guy falling in love and understanding women better.
 
When I first heard about this, I was interested in it.
But, this looks too safe and generic.
 
Red band trailer is online. Find it your own damn self.
 
Didn't know this would be R-rated, so I was surprised to learn there's a Red Band trailer.
