What Women Want

What Women Want

(2000)

In the vibrant city of San Francisco, “What Women Want” follows the journey of Alex Turner, a charming yet oblivious advertising executive in his late 30s. For years, Alex has been riding the coattails of his charismatic nature and adeptness in the male-dominated workplace, but as a new year approaches, he finds himself confronted with an unexpected crisis: his company is on the verge of losing a major client, and he’s been tasked with rebranding their image to better resonate with women.

When a freak accident involving a thunderstorm and a mysterious electric shock leaves Alex with an extraordinary ability—he can hear the thoughts of the women around him—his world is turned upside down. Initially overwhelmed by the constant chatter of desires, fears, and aspirations, Alex realizes that this newfound gift could be his ticket to success. However, the more he tunes in, the more he must confront his previously shallow understanding of women.

As Alex navigates the intricacies of female perspectives, he becomes closer to his fierce and brilliant colleague Mia, whose creativity and passion often go unnoticed. Mia has her eyes set on becoming the company’s new creative director, but she grapples with self-doubt and the challenges of working in a male-centric office environment. Through perilous office antics, moments of vulnerability, and heartfelt conversations, Alex begins to change, slowly shedding his old views and learning the importance of empathy and respect.

However, the power to hear thoughts comes with its own set of consequences. As Alex forms deeper connections with the women in his life, he realizes that understanding someone’s innermost feelings is both a gift and a burden. The walls he has built around himself begin to crumble, leading him to confront his past relationships and the way he has treated women.

In this delightful dramedy filled with unexpected twists, touching stories, and laugh-out-loud moments, “What Women Want” ultimately unveils the beauty of genuine connection and understanding, showing that the true secret to winning hearts lies not in manipulation, but in vulnerability and authenticity. Will Alex use his ability to help elevate those around him, or will he fall back on old habits and risk losing everything?
