What Women Want

Gong Li, my favourite actress, hence brought me to the cinema for this show, What Women Want, a remake of the Hollywood version played by Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. Have not seen the Hollywood version, but watching Andy Lau and Gong Li as a couple seems a little odd, for me. Nonetheless, I was willing to give the film a try since it features one of my favourite female leads. Separately, both look stunning for the part, Andy Lau very lean and slim, Gong Li gorgeous and at her top fit form, being a women at her age, yet, both together, something seems to be missing. Not that I expect a great deal out of a romantic comedy, in terms of story and what not, but the chemistry and the relationship part has to be just right. Maybe as a film, it tries a little too hard to be funny? But having being able to read a woman's mind and thoughts is good enough to know a woman well, I wonder? What women really wants out of men or even their lives for that matter beats me, though I am a woman myself. But there are some things in life that we do know for sure what we want and don't. You will need to go the extra mile to find out if you are the opposite sex. By the way, Happy Valentine's Day.
