What Women Want (2000)

In "What Women Want" (2000), advertising executive Nick Marshall is the epitome of cocky, a man utterly convinced of his own brilliance and utterly oblivious to the female perspective. His world is turned upside down, however, when a freak accident grants him the ability to hear women's innermost thoughts. Initially passed over for a coveted promotion, Nick seizes his unexpected advantage to outmaneuver his new, seemingly infatuated boss, Darcy, using his newfound telepathic powers to gain the upper hand in the cutthroat world of advertising. This film firmly lands on the "Best Nancy Meyers Movies" list due to its signature blend of sharp wit, relatable romantic comedy, and insightful exploration of gender dynamics, albeit through a fantastical lens. Meyers' knack for creating characters who are both flawed and endearing shines through Nick's transformation from a chauvinistic dinosaur to a man grappling with empathy and understanding. The movie also showcases her talent for crafting engaging romantic entanglements and ultimately delivers a satisfying, feel-good narrative that leaves audiences with a sense of hope and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human connection.
