Good story, good acting, good information!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2005)

Hitch is like no comedy you'll have ever seen before. Its a comedy, yet it is also sweet and sometimes sad. Hitch stars Will Smith in his typical role, funny guy with slapstick as an extra and a very good feature debut from Kevin James, a surprisingly good convincing actor. In the ladies section is supermodel Amber Valletta and Eva Mendes both delivering memorable performances in their own separate ways.
The film is about New York City's greatest date doctor Alex Hitchins (Will Smith) aka "Hitch" fixing up guys that don't seem to have a chance with gorgeous women but give them hope and advice to pursue their dreams. Hitch's newest client is Albert Brennaman (Kevin James) a not so fit guy who falls madly in love with a gorgeous, rich society heiress Allegra Cole (Valletta). But simultaneously Hitch finds himself a nice lady who happens to be a tabloid gossip reporter, called Sara Melas (Eva Mendes). Obviously a date doctor is a great story and she decides to uncover more about this renowned data doctor. And thus starts all the drama and trouble for our little Hitch, who just doesn't lose hope for her.
Combined with good actors and dialogue Hitch brings you the "cure for the common man" with good advice I think and a good atmosphere to the hole film which is a very pleasant experience indeed. I personally recommend Hitch to any comedy/romance lovers as it is one of the best of the year (apart from the superb Wedding Crashers). 9/10, overall for the story, the acting and the advice baby.
