When a chauvinistic advertising exec gets the ability to hear what women are really thinking, he gets a shot at outmaneuvering the woman who stole his job.

It is always good to practice writing high concept loglines (which are what they are best for) using existing films as case studies. This is an interesting one for two reasons:
One, because the concept is so similar to your own and clearly an inspiration. So studying what works and doesn't with this logline and concept can be beneficial but be careful not to be too besotted with it as you don't want it to too heavily influence your own that others associated your two ideas together.
Secondly, it is interesting because this is such an underwhelming film on it's own merit. It has a strong concept and the cast is perfect but behind the camera and page it lacks a lot of heart -- which reading your loglines I noticed too. Drop the malice in it and focus on the positivism of what you would do with the power. That's my two cents.

The start is good, but she didn?t steal his job. He stole hers and she got fired. Then he had to choose between keeping the job he had earned by ill means, or admit what he had done for the respect of the woman he loves. When he confesses and gives her back her job that she earnt, she fires him as the first order of business. Even though he is rightfully fired, he gets the girl.
