lol this looks funny

[AJG]

This is the most random fucking film. I’ll see it but whatever.

 

This is also the 2nd remake if this movie, shoutout to China.

 

[Morieris]

Ok I laughed @ " I thought black people stopped drinking tea after Get Out."

 

It looks better than Proud Mary. I wonder if she's going to hear someone think "OMG NOT ALL MEN."

[filmlover]

This actually looks decent. Could be a big early year hit.

Quote

Paramount has moved the release of its Taraji P. Henson comedy What Men Want from mid-January to February 8, to better capitalize on pre-Valentine’s Day business at the box office.

Good date change.

I enjoyed this version because Lau is sexy as fuck and Gong Li is a Goddess. Tthey certainly had more romantic chemistry than Gibson & Hunt.

 

I wonder how they're going to work with the gender swap.  Is she going to learn the error of her sexist ways, learn her love interest is better at the job and that it's not nice to peak in people's minds and manipulate and use them.   I'm guessing no.

Good date change.

Also works a bit better for Glass domination (and AD Astra too)

Nancy Meyers wrote the story for this one too so I'm sure there will be some interesting twists up their sleeves.

This is getting healthy trailer views and the studio likely picked up good buzz since it's giving the movie Valentine's period.  Should be a decent hit. Romcoms are coming back.

Its quite an interesting concept, I remember the Original was quite a standout as well. 

 

It seems they are going for a sexism angle as well a bit so this wont get a backlash from the twitter mob.

when will studios learn that twitter mob doesn't decide the boxoffice? They tried to sink Jurassic World cause running in high-heels, Zara's death, 70s era courtship and yet the movie obliterated everything on its path save TFA.

This should be the shortest film ever.
