Kevin James stole this film!

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2005)

I loved this movie about Will Smith, who plays the "love doctor," Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens, who helps men with their relationship problems. His latest case is a man played by Kevin James, Albert, who hopes to entice a multimillion dollar heiress, Allegra Cole played by Amber Valletta. During this time Hitch meets up with and falls a gossip columnist named Sara, played by Eva Mendes who threatens to shut his quiet little operation down after finding out that Hitch is connected to one of her stories. Every time Hitch goes out of his way to try and impress Sara it comes back in his face. Kevin James from the King of Queens stole the movie away from Will Smith as his portrayal as Albert. However, the movie largely revolves around Will Smith. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more scenes with Kevin James. However, I thought the scene where Will Smith was teaching Kevin James how to dance was hilarious. Overall I gave Hitch 8 out 10 stars, and if you liked it I would recommend seeing Six Degrees of Separation, Independence Day, Bad Boys I & II Training Day and the TV series King of Queens, co-starring Jerry Stiller and Leah Remini.
