Tracy Morgan Joins Taraji P. Henson in 'What Men Want' The comedian joins Henson as part of the cast for the Adam Shankman-directed film. What Men Want is the sequel to the 2000 romantic comedy, What Women Want. In the first movie, Mel Gibson received the power to read women's minds after he fell in his bath tub with a hair dryer. This iteration will see Henson play a sports agent who acquires the abilities to read men's minds, which gives her the edge on signing "the NBA's next superstar."
