Director, writer,
and producer Nancy Meyers's (THE PARENT TRAP) sophomore directorial
effort is a lively screwball fantasy featuring Mel Gibson in his first
romantic comedy. Gibson plays Nick Marshall, a high-flying chauvinistic
Chicago advertising executive who, like his musical idol, Frank
Sinatra, calls women "baby" and believes he has the world on a string.
Nick experiences a rude awakening when the creative director position
he coveted goes to Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt), a savvy outsider--and a
woman--who intends to aggressively pursue the lucrative women's market.
While trying to brainstorm ideas for "feminine" products, Nick
experiences a freak accident that gives him the ability to hear women's
thoughts. Determined to win back his stolen job, Nick uses his
terrifying yet useful new talent to scrutinize Darcy and finds his
smart, beautiful rival may not be the "bitch on wheels" he imagined.
Meanwhile, he also must maneuver carefully within complex relationships
with his estranged teenage daughter, Alex (Ashley Johnson), and a
pretty coffee shop waitress, Lola (Marisa Tomei). Once Nick begins to
listen to the new voices he hears, his previous worldview is
challenged, and he finds that he finally might understand what women
want.USED DVD
