Plot[edit]

Ali Davis is a successful sports agent in Atlanta who feels boxed out by her male colleagues. When she is passed over for a promotion at Summit Worldwide Management, her boss Nick explains that she does not connect well with men. Determined to succeed in a man's world, Ali announces that she will sign up-and-coming basketball star Jamal Barry.

After getting drinks with her father, Ali flirts with the bartender, Will. They have sex at his home, where Ali encounters his young son, Ben. At a photo shoot, Ali stands up for her client but angers Joe 'Dollah' Barry, Jamal's father and manager. At her friend Mari's bachelorette party, Ali is introduced to Sister, a psychic. To help Ali 'connect with men', Sister gives her 'fey lougawou' (Kalanchoe pinnata) tea to drink. While dancing with her friends at a club, Ali is knocked unconscious.

Waking up, she hears the thoughts of her doctor. Ali and her assistant Brendon realize that she has gained the ability to hear men's thoughts. They track down Sister, who convinces Ali that her power is an asset. Using her newfound ability, Ali learns about a poker game attended by her fellow agents and Joe. She shows up uninvited but impresses Joe, and is invited to join Summit's meeting with Jamal. Ali saves her coworker Kevin's pitch to Jamal and Joe; Kevin later confronts Ali, and reveals that he had voted to make her partner.

Discerning that Joe does not trust a woman without a family, Ali passes off Will and Ben, who have come to return her misplaced driver's license, as her husband and son. She invites them all to an NBA game, where – unbeknownst to Will or Ben – she uses her 'family' to further impress Joe. On a double date with Will, Mari, and Mari's fiancé James, Ali hears James' thoughts, and also hears that Will only has thoughts for her. They have sex, with Ali using Will's thoughts to fully satisfy him.

The Summit office is shocked to discover that agent Ethan has quit and signed Jamal himself, withdrawing him from the NBA draft to play in China instead. Nick berates Ali, stating that the only reason he will not fire her is because she is a black woman. He reveals her family charade to Will, who tells Ali to stay away from him and Ben. At Mari's wedding, Ali hears James' thoughts and, angrily dismissing Brandon's attempt to intervene, she drunkenly announces that James slept with Mari's cousin. She also reveals that her friend Ciarra's husband is cheating on her, and a brawl breaks out. Ali is again knocked unconscious.

Ali wakes up at the hospital, realizing she can no longer read minds. With her father's advice, Ali reconciles with Brandon and her friends. She finds Jamal, who explains that he does not want to go to China, and Ali tells him to follow his heart. Jamal decides to stay, and becomes the first NBA draft pick. Ali is promoted to partner, but quits to start her own agency with Kevin, as well as Brandon, finally making him an agent. Ali asks Will for another chance, and he agrees. The three of them go for a walk as Ali reveals more plans for her agency.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 42% based on 146 reviews, and an average rating of 5.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'Admittedly uneven but easy to like, What Men Want proves a gender-swapped remake can work – and the odds are substantially improved with Taraji P. Henson in the lead.'^[13] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 49 out of 100, based on reviews from 29 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.^[14] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A-' on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an 82% overall positive score and a 69% 'definite recommend.'^[10][15]

The Hollywood Reporter's Justin Lowe praised the film's pacing and jokes and said it featured a 'predictably satisfying conclusion.'^[3] Sonia Rao of The Washington Post gave the film two out of four stars, calling it a 'so-so gender-flipped remake' and praising Henson's performance, while adding, 'It would make a perfectly fine airplane movie. Or maybe save it for the bachelorette party.'^[16]Helen O'Hara of Empire wrote 'The storytelling is a little loose, but as a workplace comedy with a side-line in romance, this earns its laughs thanks to the immensely game Henson and a stellar supporting cast.'^[17]Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave it 2 out of 5, was critical of the script, 'Henson looks ready to come out firing on all cylinders, but the comic cowardice of What Men Want leaves her shooting blanks.'^[18] Variety's Owen Gleiberman compares the film to the original, saying that it was based on the idea that women are smarter than men believe, but the premise of the remake is that men are as bad or worse than the stereotypes, which he doesn't object to but says it 'holds a distinct disadvantage as comedy' and that as a result the overheard thoughts lack 'the snap of comic surprise'.^[19]

On February 26, 2020, the film was among the 26 films of 2019 awarded the ReFrame Stamp.^[20]
