“What Men Want” Gets Home Release Date

What Men Want, the modern take on the 2000 Mel Gibson/Helen Hunt rom-com, is heading to home video on April 23 after a lukewarm run at the box office.

The film centers on sports agent Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) who gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts after spending a wild night out with the girls. Having been boxed out of a promotion for years, Ali looks to take advantage of her new talent as she works to sign the next big basketball star. But as she gets deeper into her plan, her relationships with others begin to suffer, ultimately forcing her to question her decisions and motives.

The Blu-Ray edition boasts over sixty minutes of bonus features including a gag-reel, both deleted and extended scenes, and cast interviews.

Directed by Adam Shankman What Men Want also stars Aldis Hodge, Richard Roundtree, Wendi McLendon-Convey, Erykah Badu, Max Greenfield, and Tracy Morgan.

About Stephen Davis

I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
