Funny Romantic Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2017)

Manny's Movie Musings: Will Smith plays the title role in "Hitch," a debonair, love guru in Manhattan who helps out men completely lost on how to approach the women of their dreams. As Smith coaches a lovable klutz (played by Kevin James) into getting his dream girl to take interest in him, Smith meets and becomes very interested in a woman (Evan Mendes) who believes all men are dogs and true love is just a fantasy story. Although Smith's experience gives him an edge into breaking Mendes' mental wall, he will soon discover that the rules he created for himself and his students don't always apply. "Hitch" has all the elements of a good romantic-comedy movie: the main characters are likeable and they "meet cute"; things go well until a huge misunderstanding ruins everything; the problems are resolved in a funny and satisfying way by the end of the third act; the secondary characters are adorable and funny to watch; and the main players have great chemistry with each other. My most memorable, movie moment of "Hitch" is the scene when Smith has an allergic reaction to seafood and his face blows up as if he was stung by a thousand bees!
