What Women Want (2000)

Synopsis: After an accident, a man acquires the power to read women's minds. He uses his powers to outsmart the woman that took the position he coveted in the advertising company for which he works.
Appraisal: Entertaining comedy that starts very well as a comedy and loses some of its comedic edge as it goes along, becoming more dramatic and sentimental, but still retaining a good deal of its charm until the end. It gets a little repetitive at times, but that does not happen often enough to become annoying. The only thing I complain about is the excessive use of songs in the soundtrack; even though the selection is good-tasted, it is my opinion that music should be used in non-musicals with moderation and, preferrably, in the orchestral form.
Rating: 64
