I really loved this movie. It was both funny and Romantic. Hitch(played by Will Smith) is a professional love doctor. Men hire him to help them win the love of woman they really like. One of his cases is Albert (Played by Kevin James). Albert wants to date Allegra (played by Amber Valletta) a rich heiress that he works for. Hitch meets Sara (played by Eva Melas) a gossip colonist. He really likes her and wants to date her. Everytime he gets around her it turns into a disaster. When she discovers his job, she thinks it's different than it really is. She has a bad source and thinks he only does it to get woman in the bed with men. I will end here cause I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone. This is a hilarious movie. You won't regret this one.
There are a few laughs in this movie, but overall it is pretty ordinary, and in many ways silly. Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith), grew up as kind of a "Nerd", and wasn't popular at all. Now he works as a Professional "Date Doctor", having mastered the art of being suave and clever, and finally gaining the confidence to be all things to any woman. His talents are in demand and he makes a good living at it. One of his clients, Albert Brennan (Kevin James), has fallen for one of his clients, Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta), who is a local celebrity. A gossip columnist that Hitch finds himself really falling for, Sara Melas (Eva Mendes), is out to bust Hitch by unmasking what he does as a Date Doctor after one of his clients had a one night stand with her best friend. Sara has no idea that hitch had nothing to do with this guy, but her story unmasks him. He and Sara break up, and Albert and Allegra soon follow. None of his tried and tested methods seem to work on Sara, but he meets with Allegra and convinces her to reunite with Albert. Finally he and Sara get back together. Hitch finally realizes that he doesn't really do anything significant besides allowing his clients to get the attention of the woman and giving them confidence, and that most of his customers (particularly Albert) really were successful by just being themselves.Read full review
What does the matchmaker and love doctor of New York City do when he is hopelessly in love with a woman who thinks he is a low-life? He finds out he isn't such an expert on love after all. Will Smith fits the role of "Hitch" perfectly with his smooth "Fresh Prince" ego lighting the way. Before the end, Hitch is humbled, gets, loses, gets, loses, and gets the girl again. A typical romantic comedy, but a great cast gives it the extra boost to a 4 rating.
I probably liked "Hitch" for different reasons than most... Sure, Will Smith is hilarious, Eva Mendes is gorgeous, there are plenty of laughs, and men and women seemed to enjoy the movie equally... But for me - the movie is all about Kevin James ('King of Queens'). James plays the average man (beer belly, insecure, etc) so well and with some much sarcasm. Though there are plenty of great scenes between Smith (who plays Alex Hitchens - a ladies man and love doctor) and Eva Mendes - but Smith's interactions with Kevin James are priceless. James plays an insecure financial advisor who seeks guidance from Hitchens as he pursues Allegra Cole - a rich starlet. As James fumbles through words, dance moves, etc - the laughs start flowing. The movie ends as you one would imagine - after all, everything ends perfectly in the romantic comedy world right? But you can't help but walking away with a smile and recounting some of the laughs during the movie. The movie is decently written and certainly not award worthy... but Smith's and James enthusiasm and charisma is contagious and really makes the movie. If you are looking for a mindless time and a few laughs - try "Hitch."Read full review
The movie Hitch is an enjoyable one. It makes you laugh with the antics of what men will do to make themselves more "desirable." As a woman, it was enjoyable to view dating from this perspective. Plus it is nice to watch a movie that isn't focused around violence, drugs, and anger. Will Smith is good in his role and as match maker, but with all such movies it is predictable. Especially since you can have only two possible out comes - he either gets the girl or doesn't. If you want to watch a light-hearted, funny movie that's occasionally far-fetched, this is it.
