Benadryl will never be the same...

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2005)

This was not what I expected from Will Smith. I didn't really care for some of his earlier works (MIB & Independence Day were just OK for me), but he is fast becoming one of my favorite actors. I loved him in "I, Robot" and now in "Hitch" he is flat out hilarious. And Kevin James gets some serious mileage on his supporting role in this comedy.
My wife said that what she liked even more than the movie was watching me laugh so hard. Come on, if you don't die laughing at the Benadryl scene then you must not have a pulse! This movie could have very easily gone raunchy (Date Dr helps men pick up women for sex), but instead it takes a moral high ground with Hitch rejecting one jerk who only wants to "bag" a broad. Hitch just helps his loser clients get beautiful women to give them a chance (so he thinks).
He has everything it takes to be the next James Bond if he wants to do it.
This is a firm 9+ out of 10.
