What Men Want (2019)

I have been traveling for a couple of weeks, and have been watching things that are available on planes that I have not seen.  In other words, this is not a movie that I would have necessarily cued up, but I enjoyed.
This is the opposite situation of the Mel Gibson movie, where a man acquires the ability to hear what women think. In this movie, Ali is a sports agent in a male dominated world.  She is driven and somewhat annoying, so when she gets to hear what men think her first thought is that it will help her to land a superstar and gain partnership in her agency.  What she learns though, in addition to a lot of unwanted information about men cheating on her friends and that the one night stand bartender that she brought home is actually a really great guy, is that she is the one who needs to change.  She starts to see herself as others see her, and she doesn't much care for the view in the mirror.  All told, she uses her superpower mostly for good, and learns about herself in the process.  I found this very likable as a movie to watch on a plane.
