About this movie

Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) is a successful sports agent who’s constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. After a wild night out with her girls, she mysteriously gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts. With her newfound power, Ali looks to outsmart her colleagues as she races to sign the next basketball superstar, but the lengths she has to go to will put her relationship with her best friends and new love interest to the test. All’s fair in love and deal-making in this outrageously funny comedy! Also starring Tracy Morgan, Erykah Badu, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Max Greenfield.

Whoever wrote this movie apparently unironically believes that all men think about is creative new ways to keep women down and how to have sex with them. It's sexist tripe comparable to a movie claiming that all women think about is how to marry a guy for money or something. Not even the old version of this movie was this maliciously sexist. This movie however, can't even be funny because it's trying too hard to put half the audience inside a completely unoriginal box. The tropes were so tired.

This is just a backwards blatant rip off of Mel Gibdon's "What Women Want". The only differences are, the comedy it's awful, the job setting is different, and all the characters have changed to pander to minorities. At least Hollywood is trying not to be as racist as they were in the 90's, but they're doing it the wrong way. "We'll put you in more movies!" Just remakes no one will watch.

If I could leave no stars, I would. This is a tasteless film. It took six or seven ppl in the “industry” to come up with this mess as entertainment. The sad thing is, it was written by and portrayed by a few African Americans who say they believe in GOD but blasphemed HIS name from start to finish. Then the vulgarity was despicable. To make a good, fun, film with agendas and personal ideologies, does not take all of that. You wrote in an intelligent little boy being raised by his single father—awesome job. But did you for once think that little innocent child may have wanted to view this movie with family and friends? Society has tossed morals, self-respect, and values to the wind. Just tasteless and despicable.
