What Women Want poster

Why people love it

What Women Want (2000) stuck because it commits to its comedy premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Nancy Meyers's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The comedy and romance blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
