Same concept we have seen before,but here is the comical timing of Will Smith that makes the film standout

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2005)

Who says that this was Will Smith's first foray into comedy? You are gladly mistaken. "Hitch" is not the first time that Will Smith has done a comical role,but lets say that his first was in a 1989 movie in which he starred opposite Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg and a teenage looking Nia Long,but I forgot what the title of that movie is,but I get back to that later. However,he is known for his comical hijinks and hilarious antics on both movies and television,and for those who forgot his stint on television for his classic series from the 1990's "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air",which ran for six years on NBC-TV,is a must see for those who wondered where Will Smith homed in onto his craft,and this was way before he came "Mister Hollywood",and to put it bluntly,"Major Hollywood Box office Star". But these days he still holds the title of such a accomplish feat,and still puts out a very good hip-hop album every once in a while. But his newest venture is just that:nothing but an amusing mixed bag of hijinks that Will Smith always has been doing with a element of every romantic storyline that everyone has seen before,and so forth. Smith's character is just like any character we have seen before in romantic comedies,where the main character charms the chicks,but helps out a hopeless character,who couldn't score with the women get his play on,but in the long run his A-Game is out and he needs to get back into the swing of things before his loses his "mackness",and so on. Here,Will Smith plays a "date doctor",who helps out an accountant(played by Kevin James of the TV-series King Of Queens)into shape so that he can get the woman of his dreams,in this case a millionaire heirless(Amber Valletta).
Our character falls for a gossip columnist(Eva Mendes)where he not only loses his chemistry but his game into getting the ladies. Actually we have heard this story before,but in some aspects it is two distinct movies in one,but for the most part of it is very funny in some aspects especially within some of the scenes and not to mention the romantic chemistry that sparkles between Will Smith and Eva Mendes is very charming indeed,but the main part of the film is nothing but Will Smith at his comical best. But as far as the story is concern,since Smith is not only the star,but is also the co-writer and executive producer. But the real problem is the script,where the first half is excellent,but comes apart where it grinds to a halt during the film's tedious second and final acts of the movie. But for those huge fans that love Will Smith,this will be a change for his usual work and to me it is not bad at what everyone else thinks of this film. For the most part,just see this for the love of "Big Willie".
