Not Bad

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2005)

Hitch has been making millions upon millions of dollars at the box office. And although the film falls into the majorly mediocre category it fares well as a watchable comic valentine. Wil Smith stars in fine comedic form as a the title character a date doctor of sorts who helps Good guys with no talking skills achieve the unattainable. Eva Mendez stars as a man hating gossip columnist whom becomes taken back by him after some laugh inducing situations until finally discovering his profession and questioning of she should expose him or not. The movie boasts some funny moments mostly not associated with the two leads and although the film lacks any type of originality overall or even a shred of believable chemistry it exhibits an energetic flare for keeping you watching. Although far from being a success it far from being a train wreck as well. Hitch lands a 6/10.
