An important lesson in romance education

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2008)

Hitch tells the story of a man who helps other men to get a chance to do the right thing when it comes to getting the right women. When he himself finds the right women, who is a journalist, his business falls apart.
This film has the same fun education in life as Sex and the City. It's light, hilarious, sweet and interesting. The performances from the actors are neither over the top or underacted. The film runs smoothly, turns to dramatic sides on occasions and is filmed in the Big Apple as many other films are.
Will Smith's first attempt at a romantic comedy is a pleasant surprise and a success. He has a magnetic charm that makes the audience feel comfortable. Eva Mendes plays a tough realist journalist who also has a few vulnerabilities of her own as Hitch does.
Hitch also shows that a small little nobody like Albert Brenneman (Kevin Smith) can get a chance with a celebrity such as Alegra Cole. It shows that anybody anywhere can get a chance to find the perfect partner.
