Featured review
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.
