The reason I made TODAY IMDb registration just to write this review, was someone mentioning somewhere without seeing the original, that this movie is probably better because Mel Gibson is more action hero than romantic actor. I am simplifying here Not true.
And I had to mention it. Imho, Mel Gibson did good job acting as well as other actors in the original movie. I admit I don't know Chinese culture, so there can be some entertaining things I am missing.
I also was not as comfortable watching the subtitles as it would be with English audio. Although English is not my native language, I dare to say that either the dialogs are shallow I am sorry , or more probably the translation to English subtitles was bad. Not as bad as in early eastern martial arts movies, however, in that kind of movie it didn't matter that much. The story itself: I consider it the worst handled remake I ever saw.
But the producers probably thought that there is like one billion people in China who didn't see the original and will like it. Chinese only, in US version mimics only which is much better: does the Chinese director think the audience is stupid?
Boss: Good idea, hey come to my office later, I have new cubans. US only Boss: You smoke cigars? US only She: No. US only: this is what makes it funny, otherwise mentioning he cubans is just empty smalltalk I was going to watch the movie, because I considered the original pretty entertaining and I thought the Asian version would be entertaining in different way.

When this movie started, I didn't know if I would like it, although it had a very powerful beginning. But eventually around the part I mentioned I realized that it's very funny. And you've gotta love the romance! Mel Gibson is Nick Marshall, a womanizer who at the same time doesn't understand women at all.
When the womanliest of all women, Darcy Maguire Helen Hunt , starts to work with his company, she assigns everyone to think of advertising ideas for at least one feminine item in the boxes she gives them pantyhose, lipstick, mascara, a wonderbra, nail polish, etc. Nick tries to think, but instead gets drunk and paints his nails, tries on the mascara and pantyhose, and yes, waxes his legs. That night, a freak accident occurs in his apartment, and then he can hear what women are thinking.
He uses this asset to steal Darcy's ideas, and at the same time falls in love with her. Besides Gibson and Hunt's performances, there are three other reasons I love this movie. One, Marisa Tomei, who is perky and cute as Nick's previous uninterested love interest, a coffee-shop girl named Lola. But just when Nick gets less desperate for her and more so for Darcy, Lola discovers that she really does like him.
Two, Ashley Johnson, who is demanding but lovable as Nick's teenage daughter from a previous marriage. He can hear her thoughts, too, and finds out that she's planning to lose her virginity on prom night.
Although he tries to stop her, she eventually learns the lesson on her own. Three, it has an awesome soundtrack.
Anybody who likes comedy, romance, or just a great movie should see "What Women Want. FAQ 1. Why doesn't Nick hear his assistants Eve and Margo's inner thoughts? Details Edit.
