Although I was dragged to see this movie, I did actually enjoy it. The storyline may not have been original, but the twist was certainly orignal (a man can hear all female thoughts). Not only was the movie funny (e.g., Mel Gibson's character trying out feminine products), but it was also a really fresh twist on modern love.

What do women want? I mean, what do they really want? This man was given the gift of hearing every woman's private thoughts. Amazing. Just the thought of such a plot makes us think that this must be a blockbuster. And it was. It was a movie worth watching. A movie filled with lots of drama, but even more comedy. Two and even more amazing actors and many many more. A wonderful movie.

I found the plot good, original, and refreshing and I think that is what makes this movie so good. I really enjoy it, it was something different of what I am used to watch, there were a lot of funny parts, and I really like that.

A guilty pleasure. In terms of romantic comedies, this is one of my favorites – and one of the most hilarious! It’s totally unpretentious fun, with an irresistible comeuppance in store for gruff male chauvinist Mel Gibson. Helen Hunt is perfect as always, and overall the gallery of female characters is uproariously delightful. Once the comedy starts taking a backseat to romance, things do become a little too fluffy for my tastes, but the movie still makes for a very enjoyable laugh which will put a smile on your face throughout.

  Delivers on the promise of its playful premise, thanks to some sly gender role reversals and Gibson's willingness to play along.

  If the movie is imperfect, it's not boring and is often very funny, as in a solo dance that Nick does in his apartment, to Frank Sinatra singing "I Won't Dance."

  Gibson, in a disarmingly nimble, fast break performance, makes Nick's new hyperempathy look like the essence of virile panache.
