Average Date Flick

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2007)

Hitch is a romantic comedy starring charismatic Will Smith. He plays Hitch, a dating counselor who coaches men in the art of getting a woman. Unfortunately, Smith is without any love in his life. Enter Eva Mendes and what an entrance. She is probably one of the only reasons to see this film. She's an absolute knockout. From that point on the story is the standard boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl plot.
Will Smith has enough screen presence to make his rather weak part seem better than it really is.
Kevin James seems lost and out of place in the film and seems to be more of a actor who should remain on TV. He just doesn't quite translate to the big screen.
Hitch is an enjoyable but lightweight film. The background music is terrible though.
