very funny

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2005)

This movie really was a laugh-a-minute. Will Smith can deliver any line and have it come out funny.
Hitch was a movie with a rather predictable plot/story line. You already know how the journey is going to end up, but still, there is nothing like actually watching the movie unfold and seeing all the situations the characters get themselves into. Eva Mendez's character (Sara) gets a little annoying at times in the movie due to a possible irrational quality she may have had embedded in her. The explanation for this is given before the action that reflects this, and I fear this technique may be lost on some of the movies less perceptive viewers.
There were not many special effects to comment on, there were some makeup effects on Smith's character (you may have seen them in the trailer) that looked convincing enough (as well as grotesque). Seeing Will Smith willing to look like that for a movie does make me respect him even more as an actor.
Good funny movie, just a little bit of bad language. No sex or violence.
My grade: B-
