-
88A frequently hilarious exercise in one sex desperately trying to figure out the other.
-
75If 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."
-
Delivers on the promise of its playful premise, thanks to some sly gender role reversals and Gibson's willingness to play along.
-
75A merry romantic comedy in the screwball tradition.
-
75A winner.
-
75Yummy yet empty.
-
75Gibson, in a disarmingly nimble, fast break performance, makes Nick's new hyperempathy look like the essence of virile panache.
-
63A wobbly fantasy that relies on the actor's mischievous energy and rakish charisma for its laughs.
-
63Adequately funny but predictable sitcom
-
63Without Gibson, this soufflé would fall pancake-flat.
-
60Sheer energy and audience allure to burn, even if numerous speed bumps cause many of the comic possibilities to go tumbling overboard.
-
58It's never subtle or clever, but it's big, loud and clear.
-
55As classic romantic comedy goes, it ain't no "Tootsie."
-
50The dialogue isn't quite as sparkling and the plot twists aren't quite as snappy as you want them to be. And the story keeps rambling on after its oomph runs wearisomely thin.
-
50The movie's gimmick for airing the contents of a woman's head is not unlike that used for the dogs and tots in those "Look Who's Talking" movies.
-
50Disappoints.
-
50It's like 90 minutes of teasing foreplay, and then, just when it's about to get really good, your partner rolls over and goes to sleep.
-
50Narrow definitions of femininity limit the comedy and the romance.
-
50This is not a great comedy, but it has some honest laughs, a few touching moments.
-
50Starts with a great idea, but the movie's potential drops faster than the tech stocks on the Nasdaq.
-
50The picture has some fun slapstick set pieces and an inventively manic turn by Gibson.
-
50Fans of bubbly romances can consider this a thumbs up. I call it a clenched-teeth concession at best.
-
50Gibson and the overexposed Hunt don't exactly burn up the screen, not that it much matters. The charm isn't in the relationship, it's in Gibson's puckish appeal.
-
40A wildly overblown, unpleasantly smirky mess of a film.
-
40Gibson has never lacked chemistry with his leading ladies, from Sigourney Weaver in "The Year of Living Dangerously" to Julia Roberts in "Conspiracy Theory," but faced with the awkward Hunt -- Hollywood's bland antidote to the Lolita syndrome -- he doesn't even try.
-
40The scene doesn't amount to much more than a logical extension of its lightweight premise.
-
40A vaguely amusing formulaic comedy with a premise that turns out to be more discomforting than endearing.
-
40Has its heart in the right place, but its funnybone is out of joint.
-
40It just runs on and on -- like a slightly stupid story you wish you hadn't overheard in a singles bar.
-
35Shallow characters the audience cares little about, an unbelievable situation rather than a potent plot, and, for those who don’t find men-in-pantyhose or poodle-poop jokes hilarious, not many funny lines.
-
30Would have proved the point if it weren't so mechanically scripted.
-
20Aggressively offensive.
-
20Really, what women want is what all of us want: a decent movie, something vaguely insightful and occasionally funny. This isn't that movie.
