“What Men Want” is a gender-swapped remake of “What Women Want,” the 2000 Nancy Meyers film starring Mel Gibson . This version, starring Taraji P. Henson, Henson plays the role of Ali. Ali is already clear on what men want because she has spent her entire life in a man’s world, trying to succeed in their terms. Ali works at an agency of sports full of mostly white men, who do not really let her get involved with work projects until one day. She drinks some funky tea from a psychic named Sister, at her friends hens do and then the next day she starts to hear male thoughts.
She freaks out at first and then uses it to her advantage at work, to get her way. Later in the movie she ends up falling in love and at the end of the movie she ends up leaving her work place to start up her own sports agency.
