Smart one liners

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2009)

It took a few switches of channels for me to finally settle on this film on free to air TV in Australia.
Although I have a few film reviews here they are mainly to help me keep track of what I've watched and I had little to no knowledge of the principal actors.
What finally kept me watching was Hitch's interaction with the very hard to impress Sara Melas, for some reason she is attracted to the fast talking thinks on his feet Hitch whose character nevertheless does exhibit tremendous sincerity.
It really is a commentary on American culture which, in many movies at least, appears to be dominated by the dating scene.
Dating in America is a possible personality cult and therefore Hitch tries to "even the score a little" by giving so called unattractive men/guys the opportunity and means to get noticed by, date and form relationships with very attractive women.
I certainly found it worth watching and was moved by the breakup/retrieval situation, always a winner in movies.
