    What Women Want

    well, one thing's for sure, I sure as hell don't know what they want, but-

    I couldn't resist, I have a Helen Hunt weakness. What can I say. Very very good movie, well played I thought. One scene was a bit over the top I felt, in terms of realistic possibilities. But for the most part, Mel had me laughing my ass off throughout, and Helen was well, outstanding.

    I rented this thinking I would have to suffer through something awful while my wife would enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised. Mel is quite a comedian. Loved that Sinatra music, and most of all love Helen Hunt's cute butt.

      I have enjoyed every movie I've seen with Helen Hunt in it, she's that perfect "every woman".
      Haven't seen this one yet, but I keep thinking I need to buy it...I don't have enough comedy.

      P.S. I know what women want, I just can seem to give it to them...I like my toys to much!

        This movie was a very good "buy" for me, since I talked a clerk at Albertson's grocery into giving me a CostCo price... and it's a lot of fun, and as most of you pointed out so astutely, it does feature the fair Helen Hunt, also one of my favorite "every woman". I've liked her in a lot of roles, and this one she's also fine it. Mel surprises with his grace and comedy. I think this is one well worth owning. It's an off beat role for him, but those seem to be my favorites where he is concerned; another that comes to mind is "Conspiracy Theory".

        Regards,

        Jon

          Conspiracy Theory surprised me, much better than I thought it would be. I should just learn to go with whatever Mel does, he never disappoints.

            I liked it too, and would buy it for nothing more than Mel's dance sequence...really nice!

            I do think his acting is a bit over the top, like he needs to take a class in "subtlety", but I've always liked him. And we all like Helen..what's not to like...cute movie..

            Now where are all those old Sinatra albums...

                Ahh, so I am not the only one that fell to what appeared to be a lady's flick, according to the title. (Note to susan, I avoided that C word, lol.)

                Nice to see others jumping on the bandwagon here. Of course, with two pros like Mel and Helen, even a bad movie can rise out of the depths of the "coaster celler" and this movie is far from a coaster.

                        Very funny, certainly one of the better comedies of late.
                        I'm beginning to see Helen Hunt everythere I turn...
