great date movie!

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2005)

Will Smith has disappointed me in the past (read: I, Robot; Men in Black 2). However, I think he was perfect for the role of Alex Hitchens. He's suave, yet clumsy. He sweeps you off your feet, yet drops you on your butt. Eva Mendes, although not a STELLAR actress, is quite good as the rough, tough, "I don't give a damn!" career woman. My boyfriend and I went to see it after my friend told me it was a perfect date movie. We both loved it. It wasn't one of those cry-my-eyes-out movies (ie The Notebook), but much more suited for a fun date. I would definitely recommend this movie to my friends, regardless if they are dating or not. It also makes for a great girls night movie.
