See the films the platforms disagree about most →A chauvinistic and self-assured advertising executive gains the inexplicable ability to hear women's inner thoughts after a freak accident. This new power throws his world into chaos as he is bombarded by the private critiques, insecurities, and desires of every woman he encounters. Initially using this ability for personal gain at work, he begins to truly listen for the first time. He develops a deeper understanding of the women in his life, including a sharp new colleague he is trying to undermine, forcing him to confront his own preconceptions.
