McGuire), Marisa Tomei (Lola), Alan Alda (Dan Wanamaker), Lauren Holly (Gigi), Valerie Petrine (Margo)
After an accident involving a hairdryer and a
bath, an advertising executive discovers that he can read womens thoughts.
The story doesn't go much further than having
Mel Gibson's womaniser knowing exactly what to say and do to please the women he meets, including Helen Hunt.
If this really is what women want, they can't
be particularly demanding.
