While at a night out with her girlfriends, one of them has hired a quirky psychic named Sister to do some readings for them. Ali tells Sister her issues with work and that she needs to be able to read men better. Sister gives her some tea and sends her out to party with her friends. Some things happen and Ali wakes up the next morning with the ability to hear men’s thoughts.
WHAT MEN WANT is directed by Adam Shankman. It is based on the 2000 movie with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. In this version, it is flipped around when it comes to the genders of the lead role. Henson plays the role similar to how she has is in the THINK LIKE A MAN movies.

VIDEO QUALITY:
The video is a 1080p AVC presentation that has a clean transfer. It has been captured digitally and there is nothing lost in the picture. The details are prominent and the lines are crisp. Some of the scenes do have a softness to them but these are mostly in the lower lit settings. Skin, fabrics, and other textures look great. Coloring is brilliant and bold.
AUDIO QUALITY:
The audio is a lossless Dolby TrueHD 7.1 mix. The music is the first thing that you notice with it being from the jump. All of the other music in the movie is also strong and works the speakers. There is solid bass and clean treble. The effects are nicely done and the dialogue is properly prioritized.
