More About
Like Mick Jagger, Gibson is the kind of performer who needs to go into overdrive to find a groove. As age renders him less supple, it becomes harder for him to separate energy from tension. Gibson's facial muscles are so tight that they seem to have driven his eyes into the back of his skull. This is the kind of acting problem that a perceptive director can spot and solve, but the heavy-handed Meyers is hardly the person to do it. What Women Want is so busy and noisy that Gibson has to work even harder than usual to make himself noticed above the din.
Gibson has never lacked chemistry with his leading ladies, from Sigourney Weaver in The Year of Living Dangerously to Julia Roberts in Conspiracy Theory, but faced with the awkward Hunt—Hollywood's bland antidote to the Lolita syndrome—he doesn't even try. What women do not want is to see Mel Gibson embarrassed and at a loss. I wish I could be sure it won't happen again.
