This is a man's world. But not for long, if Taraji P. Henson has anything to say about it.

The Oscar nominee infiltrates the boys' club in the trailer for her latest film, What Men Want. In a gender-swapped remake of the 2000 romantic comedy, What Women Want, Henson's character Ali Davis struggles to climb the corporate ladder due to the sexism engrained within her company. Under the guidance of her friends, Davis turns to a spiritual guide — appropriately played by the enigmatic Erykah Badu — who makes her drink a "special" concoction. Soon after, she realizes she has the ability to read men's minds.
