First off, anything with Helen Hunt get's my approval. I love this woman, she can do no wrong. I really resisted seeing this movie when it first came out, because well, I thought it was just another chick flick (Sorry for using that term) but I wasn't really interested in hearing bleetings from women, basically putting down men... I was strong... Until one wine induced night and bamm, there it was on the screen infront of me. A gripping story, which went far deeper than 'women's bleetings.'

I was suddenly plunged head first into a world, where I wanted to know what people were thinking. Seriously, days after I was trying to channel people. Sometimes I think I got their thoughts - mainly - 'Fuck off you weirdo, stop looking at me like that.'

But seriously take a moment to think what the world would be like if we could hear the things that other people dare not say. Pretty amazing or completely violent?

I think that Helen Hunt, shines in this movie, Mel Gibson I think slightly falters as a comedy lead, but still no real complaints from me. What makes this movie is the script, concept and the head buzzing it gives you for the next few days. It's like they knew what I was thinking!
