My Thoughts
I give the What Men Want Blu-ray a B.
Taraji P. Henson stole the show and holds her own in this film. Though I’m not a huge fan of comedy, I did enjoy it.
We can all relate to Ali (Henson). She works hard, hoping for a promotion only to get passed up by an undeserving co-worker. Unfortunately to get there, she gains a “gift” and tells a white lie but in the end, she realizes that being herself is the best thing to do.
My favorite part of this entire film was Taraji P. Henson’s performance. As I stated before she stole the show. Who wouldn’t want to hear what Men think (or for that matter anyone)? I think it would be awesome maybe for a few hours to hear men’s thoughts but after that, I think it would annoy me. Thoughts are best kept to oneself.
Catch What Men Want out on Blu-ray, Digital, & DVD May 7th!
