Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a typical MCP (male chauvinist pig) who works with an advertising agency. He leaves no opportunity to ridicule the opposite sex and often cracks typical chauvinist jokes thus ticking off most women around him. His agency hires a new creative director Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt) who has a rotten reputation of being a perfectionist. Nick does not leave any opportunity to outdo her and hates being dominated upon by a female senior. After a freak accident one night (when he electrocutes himself) he discovers that he suddenly has the power to hear the thoughts of women.
The film proceeds with Nick honing his mind-reading skills, gradually transforming from an insensitive dork to becoming almost one of the girls. Nick's unique gift gives him a fair chance to reach out to his daughter, stop taking women for granted. He finally discovers that love actually exists and he finds himself falling for Darcy. The film raises quite some laughs when Nick tries to experience the pain women have to undergo to look beautiful as he tries out how to put mascara on his lashes without poking your eye with the wand! It is a great movie to watch when you are with your beloved and want to spend a cozy evening indoors.
