We want more from this remake
In "What Men Want" (⋆⋆; R; on digital HD Tuesday; DVD and Blu-ray May 7), Taraji P. Henson gains the ability to hear men's thoughts after she (1) accidentally drinks drug-laced tea; (2) dances to 2 Live Crew's "Hoochie Mama" during a bachelorette party; (3) is knocked over by an inflatable penis; and (4) is slammed into a nightclub stage. In short, nothing about this movie is subtle. Henson's lively spirit carries this so-so gender-flipped remake of the 2000 comedy starring Mel Gibson.
