Sex, Food, and Sports

There, just answered the movie's question and wrote their script in 3 seconds.

Female wants are much more complex than male wants, and THAT'S what made the Mel Gibson original a funny concept. Generally speaking, Men don't usually know what women are thinking. Women know exactly what men want.

That is why this is a really crappy idea for a movie.

Anyone trying to pass off these thoughtless, pointless, politically charged "genderswaps" as something original are morons.

Hollywood's lack of original thought continues.

I agree with the OP, Hollywood ran out of ideas for originality years ago.

Women and society wouldn't have a clue what men want. Sure, some men want the sex, food and sports concept but many don't. Of course in the end, it easier to just pigeon hole every man into that category.

I do agree though, the film will suck and it will just be more boring cliches. The original was also made during a less PC time so you got a lot of truth bombs in there that didn't always make women look all that good.

Yeah, many men don't worship food or sports because they're obviously not fat bastages and refuse to blow hours of their day seeing who kicks a ball into a goal (or whatever the case) more often.

I love the Seinfeld line about sports fans how they are always talking about how "They won". "You didn't win. They won. YOU, watched!"

This 100%. When my favourite band has a number one I don't claim that "I'm at number one!"

Play sports YES. Watching them? Dull a f.

Oh damn, they're actually going through with this? People used to joke about what men were thinking but knew it was a bad idea for a movie. And since this has Tracy Morgan in it, that pretty much seals the deal on horribleness.

I loved What Women Want (2000) because of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. They both had terrific chemistry. The ending was also really sweet.

I just can't see this happening because it's going to be filled to the brim with sexual innuendo. At least the original handled it pretty well.
