What Women Want (2000)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Nancy Meyers
Starring: Mel Gibson, Marisa Tomei, Helen Hunt, Alan Alda, Lauren Holly, Mark Feuerstein, Ashley Johnson
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Lauren Holly is explaining about her ex-husband, the little boy has a photo taken with all the girls. The woman on the far left opens her jacket in a flasher style, but in the actual picture, her hands are on her hips.
Alex: Oh please, Mom had this talk with me when I was like, 11.
Trivia: The fictional childhood of Nick, growing up in a burlesque club surrounded by beautiful, nearly naked women who adored him, is bizarrely similar to the actual childhood of Alan Alda, who plays the boss character. Alan Alda's father ran a burlesque club, and apparently the strippers and dancers treated the young Alda as a mascot, even keeping him in the changing room as they got dressed. However, as an adult Alda became an activist for feminist causes, rather than the chauvinist effect it had on the fictional Nick.
