Running time: 127mins
Available to Rent on Video or Buy on DVD
Nick Marshall (Gibson) is the consummate ladies man. No woman can resist his charms and he knows exactly what to say and do to get women to do whatever he wants. This all changes when Nick accidentally electrocutes himself and awakes to find that he has the ability to her what women are thinking. Hearing for the first time women's actual opinions of him, Nick realises he might not be the person he thinks he is.
Showboating Mel Gibson's unbeknownst comic talents, this is a feel good, funny movie that is unfortunately let down by a typical overly sentimental Hollywood ending. The Interaction between Gibson and Hunt is very good and extremely watchable, but the material really lets their talents go to waste in the last twenty minutes of the movie. It is what is however, your usual romantic comedy where you know the two leads will get together in the end before you put the DVD on.
