House of Meyers - 281 - What Women Want

As we continue your Nancy Meyers retrospective, we arrive at What Women Want (2000). It was a box office hit that doesn't quite hold together, and this episode gets into why. Despite the star power, the film stumbles through scattered storytelling, thin characters, and rushed emotional beats. We break down the gap between its massive commercial success and its actual craft, from the uneven chemistry between the leads to the fake cityscape to the messy ending.
