What Women Want (2000)

[MifuneFan]

Paramount will be releasing What Women Want on Blu-ray on August 16th.

https://www.amazon.com/What-Women-Wa...%2C66&sr=1-215

A chauvinistic advertising executive acquires the ability to hear what women are thinking. He attempts to use this power to bring about the fall of his female boss, but as he uses this inside knowledge to outwit his superior, the bachelor begins to fall in love with her, and so finds himself feeling more than a little guilty when his plan to have her sacked looks like it may come to fruition.

very good comedy, gonna wait for a Canadian release

[MifuneFan]

I'm surprised it took so long to come out to be honest. At the very least, you would have thought when the movie What Men Want came out in 2019, Paramount would have released this one on BD too.

[bonehica]

Another ancient DVD I can finally upgrade.

Surprised they didn’t go with the poster art of Hunt nuzzling Gibson’s cheek

That's cute and all, but as I said, they could have easily released it in 2019. They had no issues releasing Gibson films then, and likely not prior to that either. It's much more likely that Paramount simply handled their catalog poorly until more recently. Hence why we finally have titles like Roman Holiday, Golden Child, Ordinary People, Breakdown, Murder on the Orient Express (74) Beavis and Butthead, Coneheads, and many more that you would think would have been on the format in the US ages ago.

For some reason I thought this was already out on Blu-ray as it was a pretty big hit when it came out. Better late than never.

Had the UK Icon release for years.

Does it still play -- several folks seem to be having issues with ICON discs lately.


I bought the AUS item in 2014 or so during some JBHiFi sale along with Quiz Show and Splash (among others) . Amazing how
many of these seeming mainstays still haven't had a US/CA release

[McCrutchy]

I also have the Australian release, but I always enjoyed how naughty the film is and I will probably pick up the Paramount release if it's as least as good of a disc.

[spinningman123]

Just rewatched the awful UK release BR last night for some strange reason...spooky!

I'll be looking forward to...

[UnionJackMix]

I always enjoy this movie, especially for long cast great female performers.

I have the Region Free Australian Release and it works fine. Unless there are substantial special features, I have no need to purchase this version. The Australian version looks great, sounds great, and that's all I need.
