Will Smith trying to be Meg Ryan?

Rating: 4/10 (4 April 2005)

'Hitch' is a silly romantic comedy in which a smart guy (Smith)give expert advise to some shy and naive men to find the better way to gain love affection of his beloved girls. The movie has a weary premise and its development is unfunny and with no bright moments all the way. In fact, this entry seems to be just a tiresome exercise for Will Smith to prove that he has the charisma to play a romantic cardboard character following the path of Meg Ryan. But the outcome is just a boring comedy and a completely dispensable movie. Above all, Will Smith and Eva Mendes has no chemistry between them and the movie is just saved - only sometimes, I must say - by the plot line concerning the love story between the rich Aletta Cole and the funny Albert Brenamann, one of the Hitch's clients.
