You are pretty limited in what you can copy when the movie's not even out yet. A general plot point is not a big deal, because you still have to fill in all the details and let's be real every story out there is in some way a copy of a story idea for another story, whether deliberately or not. I'm not saying they didn't take the idea, I don't plan to see the movie, have seen maybe one trailer for it (if that), and now, you actually have me curious about it. Honestly, I assumed based off the title that What Men Want was based off What Women Want from back in 2000 (I can't believe that movie is almost twenty-years-old). And if What Men Want is anything like What Women Want, then no, I don't think they stole the idea from there, because What Women Want didn't allow the man to hear other men's thoughts, only women's, unless I am remembering completely incorrectly. It's been a while.

* Looks up What Men Want* Nope! Definitely not interested in that. That sounds horrible. I will admit that What Men Want does sound like it is only loosely inspired by What Women Want (and according to one site I looked at, it actually is inspired by that movie, which with the similar titles, makes sense). Also while looking this up I came across Thoughtcrimes, which came out in 2003. It sounds more interesting that both of those movies.
