What Men Want (2019)

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

While it's potentially problematic for many of the same reasons for the Mel Gibson "What Women Want", I think this is a much better version, and a good modernization. It's also a good way to shift it to a "black movie".

Taraji P. Henson does an excellent job carrying the movie and it is full of good humor, and exciting moments.

The movie does send a little bit of a mixed message as it seems to indicate that a woman needs to be a man in order to play in a man's world, but it feels more like its about it not being a man's world.

This is a good time, my only concern is that she's not a very likable character at the start of the movie.
