Hitch (2005)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Boring

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

If "Hitch" has been one of those movies which has sitting in your Watchlist for a while or if you're just one of those who has no idea what's good on Netflix, well then there's no need to give it a second thought. Hitch is the definition of how funny and enjoyable Rom-Com should look like-- without regarding your age or gender. The script is funny, original and plus it goes smoothly with the flow of the entire film. As for the plot, it can definitely be labeled as something engaging for that it places you in the shoes of most of the characters with their different perspectives in life. In short it takes you through an interesting part of both cupid's and the target's life showing you how several humane mistakes can play to your advantage and disadvantage as well. No matter if you're alone or with someone else, if you wanna laugh, sigh, and close your day with a smile, this movie is the right one for you.

While helping his latest client woo the fine lady of his dreams, a professional "date doctor" finds that his game doesn't quite work on the gossip columnist with whom he's smitten. There's a lot of great underrated Will Smith films but 'Hitch' takes the 1st place easily cause i don't understand how someone could hate this movie. It's hilarious, the characters are likable and the acting along side the plot is terrific. Will Smith and Eva Mendes have a terrific chemistry together and it shows on screen threw out the entire picture especially in that scene where they have an argument in a date ceremony or something like that. Kevin James who also gets a lot of hate in general gives an underrated and funny performance as a man who wants to date the girl of his life and the movie is so heartfelt and down to Earth that on it's own way is very unique and original. Amber Valletta is also excellent in her own part. The soundtrack is amazing and without a doubt is the most underrated Smith film and the most underrated romantic comedy i've seen in years. Give it a chance and you might enjoy it as much as i did. (A+)

I had never even heard of this movie until i saw it on DVD. When I saw Will Smith was involved I decided to get it as I'm a real fan. I also like Kevin James. All in all this is a very original flick. Cool story line, very original. Will Smith is his usual slick self. Kevin James plays a great comedic role. Even Mendez is super in her role as well. It is well shot, well directed, and has some great footage of New York. "When I saw he was the 'butcher',, I thought it was an occupation",,,haha,, one of the funny lines. You've got to see the movie to see what that really means.

Rating-3/10Hitch, a Romantic Comedy starring Will Smith as a kind of love doctor who basically helps those less "experienced" at love and relationships. The movie itself is for me overrated, I have seen what some say about it and I just can't agree. It's a real predictable movie, seen before and really not very funny, it's not without it's heart but still, a fail in my book.Now Smith gives it a good go, he isn't the problem at all here in fact he is one of the shining lights, excellently showing off his acting side in certain and I mean certain scenes. The story is too predictable, it's kind of new I'll give it that but it really doesn't play out any different to most poor Rom-com's. The love side is a little shaky really, I felt the chemistry between those who are involved is not great, can be good but could be a lot lot better.You know I said this is a comedy but in truth, if you laugh at this then I commend you. It just isn't clinical enough and Andy Tennant the director just doesn't get enough from the cast, who could actually make this very funny if directed well. If you like the fun over the love then don't watch this, the romance is better than the humour involved so this is one that does best for the lovers.Kevin James stars alongside Smith, and so does Eva Mendes who for me doesn't do herself any good, the role doesn't work and she just feels too unbelievable in her role. James does nicely in his role, should have been funnier but still manages to be fun to see and some of his scenes(mostly with Will Smith) are some of the better times. If you want a cast who work well together this isn't it, but individually this has moments of good fun to be had by all.Now this film is fairly under-whelming, a kind of predictable cheese ball that has an air of smug(I felt the people behind this think it is much smarter than it actually turns out to be). It's a little too long at near 2 hours, kind of stretches itself and that is another reason this doesn't finish all so well. The move has it's extreme moments of cliché, it has it's moments of fun too and although few laughs, when some like Smith try to be funny, you can still smile if only a little.Overall a movie I wouldn't recommend to many but could work for some, the kind of picture that wouldn't inspire me to see it all again but isn't the worst of the worst either. This is a bit of a blip for me in the career of Will Smith, in general it doesn't look like it with what I can see as the majority of critics and film viewers generally liking it but he doesn't finish this well, on that watch out for the ending scenes, the worst part of the entire movie.
