    Failed attempt

    This film has a really cool and interesting concept but The story and screenplay by seems to be the real culprit of the film. It's unnecessarily vulgar and crass. The performances are over-the-top: Henson is a talented actress but she needs to start picking her future projects carefully. She tries to be funny, but it doesn't work. It's disappointing as she can do so much better than this. There are also two of the most annoying characters I'll probably see all year. The psychic known as Sister and the father of a top basketball prospect Joe 'Dolla' Barry are cringey. This film even tries (and fails) to shoehorn in a romance between Ali and a barman called Will. Overall, What men wants is a sad excuse for comedy, I wouldn't recommend.

    Lots of the Jokes are a swing and miss in this one

    Love Taraji and some of the other actors in this movie and wanted to like it. But I walk away thinking this movie is on the bad side of mediocre. Like something you would watch in the middle of the night and you had nothing but basic cable to watch.

    The scrip comes off as awkward frequently throughout the movie. Several bizzare lines/scenes that just make you say "wtf" out loud. I wonder what sort of stuff was left on the cutting room floor if this is the stuff that made the movie.

    There really isn't much here to draw you in. Most of the humor is jammed in just for the sake of having it.

    I can appreciate doing something different with the source material, but this is basically the same exact movie with more sophomoric humor than the original. Any charm that the original had was lost with this script.

    I don't get the hate in these reviews.

    I think in the terms of Romcoms this movie ranks above average.

    You know what you're getting into by choosing this movie, it's a romcom about a woman trying to figure out what men want. Then how are people hating on it so much? I don't get it. It delivers what it promises, nothing fancy, no plot twists, no unique writing, enjoyable fun acting, just mindless bubbly fun.

    Taraji P Henson is a bowl of energy and sunshine that keeps the rhythm of this movie constantly up and high and she elevates the whole movie. The movie really banked on this as well, almost every scene has her which is great.

    Supporting characters are barely memorable except Max Greenfield (Who played Schmidt on New Girl) simply because I like the actor. Rest are forgettable.

    Plot is simple, nothing that unique but fun, it follows the basic romcom formula but nothing wrong with that.

    Are there better Romcoms, yes of course. Are there worse, many.

    Don't believe on those 1 star 2 star reviews I'd say, the IMDb rating is quite accurate 5-6 star ballpark is much suited for this movie.

    If you're in the mood of bubbly fun movie I'd say go for it. I personally quite enjoyed this movie.

    Funny

    I see a lot of bomb reviews, and I get this is no Oscar Winner. But I laughed hysterically many times. It was precisely what I expected. There were plenty of funny moments, lessons learned and a little romance. Give it a chance. You may like it.

    Don't miss this movie because of bad reviews

    The movie was really funny and the actors did a great job. Settings were nicely chosen. Camera work was precise. Everything played just well into each other. It was a 7.5+ rounded up to 8 for me.

    With so many 1/10 I almost missed it, but surely something seems fishy with these down votes. You might not like it and give it a 5 or 6, but so many 1s seem like some campaign to kill the movie for some reason I don't know.

    Just watch it and enjoy laughing and feeling with the characters.

    • Trivia
      The office lobby/staircase scenes were shot at The Porsche Experience building in Atlanta. This is made obvious by race car pictures on the wall in the background during several scenes, as well as the actual driving track being briefly visible through the glass behind the staircase.
    • Goofs
      When Brandon sits at Ali's desk for a raise, towards the end of the film, reflected in his glasses you can see lighting equipment and Green Screen.

      Sister: The only voices I heard were Joan Rivers and Tupac. And they did not get along.

      Psychic Sister has sessions with all the main characters during the first part of the credits.
