What Women Want was sort of a weird romantic comedy to begin with — Mel Gibson gains the ability to "hear" women's thoughts, and his mental voyeurism somehow becomes romantic. But how does this story do when it's remade for Chinese audiences a decade later? We watched the Chinese remake, starring Andy Lau and Gong Li, and here's what we thought of it. More »
