Plot:
Nick Marshall, Playboy and Hot Shot in advertising, thinks he's God's gift to women. After a little accident, he discovers that he is suddenly able to hear what women really think. First, Nick is pretty disappointed when he discovers that his beloved macho behaviour does not exactly contribute to being desired. Then, his upcoming dream position in the company is being given to a new team member: Darcy, not only a woman, but a man-eating one, also is a very talented ad expert. So, Nick decides to sabotage his new boss by reading her thoughts and selling her ideas as his own. Unfortunately, love gets in his way. IMDB

Review:
A fun, cute movie.

I've lost a lot of respect for Mel Gibson, but he pulls it off in this movie. He is funny without being annoying.

Not a perfect movie, but a good romantic comedy. Very funny at times and it doesn't become dull or boring.

For its genre:
