Plot summary: Womanizing ad executive finds himself able to hear the thoughts of women, forcing him to reconsider his daily activity.
Biased, pithy comments: This is a concept movie. Good concept movies take their concept and use it every which way they can. Successful applications of concepts include ``Groundhog Day,'' ``12;01'', and even the Terminator movies. However, this movie drops that ball, and leaves this clever conceit aside to work on a plodding romance between the two attractive leads. I like Hunt (well, I have untoward thoughts about her), so I enjoyed myself, but any time you're watching Mel Gibson and thinking, ``Well, this could be better,'' you know you're in trouble.
