In switching the main characterвЂ™s gender, вЂњMenвЂќ follows in the footsteps of the recent - and rotten - all-female вЂњGhostbustersвЂќ and вЂњOceans Eight.вЂќ In this case, though, the gender swap is justified: A womanвЂ™s experience in the workplace, or in relationships, differs from a dudeвЂ™s more relatably than when fighting ghosts or stealing rare jewels.ДЄnd unlike those other two films, the original вЂњWhat Women WantвЂќ is hardly memorable.

вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ is a spin on 2000вЂ™s вЂњWhat Women Want,вЂќ a movie made during a bygone era in which many people were still attracted to Mel Gibson. Her life becomes much better, then much more complicated and finally turns into a garbage fire. The psychic gives her some magic tea, and later that evening Ali slams her head at a club and awakens to discover she can hear all menвЂ™s thoughts. Now at rock bottom, she asks a psychic (singer Erykah Badu in a very funny bit) how she can get inside the elusive male brain. LetвЂ™s just stay in your lane.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s an HR nightmare in 2019, but the movie just shrugs and moves on.ДЄfter a pick-me-up one-night stand with a bartender, the hungover Ali then fails to score a big client. Peeved, she storms into her bossвЂ™s office in a rage, and the doofus tells her, вЂњIвЂ™ll be honest with you. Henson plays a powerful Atlanta sports agent named Ali, whoвЂ™s skipped over for a promotion at work even though her numbers beat those of every Neanderthal there. Thank you, Taraji, for so succinctly summarizing the plot of your movie. Henson loudly exclaim to nobody, вЂњWhatвЂ™s going on in his head?!вЂќ The new movie вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ doesnвЂ™t have much of that, as it tries to be politically prescient by shoehorning the phrases вЂњlocker-room talk,вЂќ вЂњwhen they go low, we go highвЂќ and вЂњIвЂ™m with herвЂќ into a dumb romantic comedy. What do men want? Speaking for the XY chromosomeвЂ™d among us, some nuance would be nice.

The gender politics of вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ only sometimes play as retrograde, though. Memo to working women: DonвЂ™t be ball busters, or else. The film insists that Ali, like GibsonвЂ™s ad man, receive her comeuppance: She learns to respect her gay assistant (Josh Brener) and to be less selfish in her career and in bed. вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ doesnвЂ™t stick to that conceit, however, despite such barbed moments as when Nick says aloud that he would fire Ali if he didnвЂ™t fear a #MeToo outcry. If the original delivered payback to a sexist, the new film ought to let a victim of sexism turn the tables. But Ali is a bad communicator, and one lesson the movie deigns to teach her is to listen more carefully.

Presumably AliвЂ™s ability to hear their thoughts would make that charade easier. Because the star playerвЂ™s father (Tracy Morgan) doesnвЂ™t trust a woman without a family, Ali tries to pass off a one-night stand and his son (Aldis Hodge and Auston Moore) as her husband and child. While вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ starts off as a stinging critique, it undermines that message with one of HollywoodвЂ™s favorite idiotic subplots. Part of the message, of course, is that it doesnвЂ™t take a mind reader to see that AliвЂ™s colleagues - who court a star African-American basketball player (Shane Paul McGhie) with a racist video filled with bling and women - are complete boneheads, working in a frat house dressed up as an office. Her boss, Nick (Brian Bosworth), tells her, вЂњYouвЂ™re doing great in your lane.вЂќД«ut thanks to either a knock on the head or the laced tea given to her by a psychic (Erykah Badu), Ali begins to hear what men are thinking, the better to get sweet, sweet revenge.

Another is a taste for Fiji water, an object of product placement so frequent that you worry for a drought in the South Pacific.Дirected by Adam Shankman, this comedy flips the script on Nancy MeyersвЂ™s вЂњWhat Women WantвЂќ (2000), in which a Chicago chauvinist (Mel Gibson) gets his comeuppance after gaining the power to hear womenвЂ™s thoughts. One is that they wonвЂ™t tolerate a satire of workplace sexism if it doesnвЂ™t sometimes put the woman in her place. вЂњWhat Men WantвЂќ presumes a lot of things about its viewers.
