Review

Chicago Sun-Times, 12/15/2000, p.33, "...Often very funny....The look and feel of the movie is just right..."

Entertainment Weekly, 01/12/2001, p.59, "...Fizzy screwball comedy....[Gibson gives] a disarmingly nimble, fast-break performance..." -- Rating: B

Box Office, 02/01/2001, p.67, "...Gibson plays the facets of his ever-transmogrifying persona with flair at every turn: Even his hedonistic incarnation is able to sweep the audience..."

Total Film, 03/01/2001, p.88-9, "...A touch of magic realism and a dash of slapstick....There are plenty of laughs along the way..."

USA Today, 12/15/2000, p.6E, "...Gibson [is] always a lethal weapon, even without a gun in his pocket." -- 3 out of 4 stars

Product Notes

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.
