Cruelty to good guys.

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2005)

Hitch is a good movie. Will Smith carries the movie from reel to reel and you cannot picture anyone else to fill this role. Hitch was born solely by Will Smith. I think that explains the producer credit. And I also think that, on a personal level, Eva Mendes was chosen to play a character similar to that of Jada Pinkett-Smith. Throughout the movie, Alex trips himself all over Sara, and she responds, mildly, with amusement, but mostly with cruelty and during the rest of the show, you wonder why Hitch is doing this to himself.
Hitch is the go-to guy, the 'date doctor' if you will, for nice guys wanting to get together with the women they fancy. But Hitch has his work cut out for him in Albert Brenaman, a junior tax assistant, who fancies his employer, a supermodel.
Thank goodness for Kevin James. His character Albert, is the perfect choice (personally chosen by Smith, again) as a character who needs plenty of Hitch's help. He carries the film along with Smith. In the end, Hitch, is a good romance/comedy and I recommend it to any couple who can't find that perfect rental they can't settle on.
