The Cure for the Dispirited

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2005)

Hitch works well for both genders, as it encompasses movie elements that appeal to either sex.
For the women, we have a heady romantic-comedy-sweep-you-off-your-feet formula, designed to get the fairer gender wondering why their current boyfriends/husbands didn't deliver sappy monologues about love and commitment when they first met, and for the men, the rock-solid method of injecting plenty of curves in the way of the female cast, wrapped up in some often-hilarious slapstick and topped with good one-liners. Additionally, Hitch deals with the awkwardness men deal with when meeting women, as gives your average shy-guy the warm fuzzy feeling that any woman is a possible candidate for dating.
A good movie to watch with a date (although, not a new or first date: chances are that comparisons will be made with the on-screen romance vs. current romance).
