Hitch



Comedy/Romance — 115 min — Directed by Andy Tennant
Cast: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, Amber Valletta

While helping his latest client woo the gorgeous woman of his dreams, Hitch, a professional "date doctor" finds game doesn't quite work on the gossip columnist with whom he's smitten.


How many guys was dragged to the theaters to see this one? Yes, it's yet another chick-flick, which they love so much. I bet the filmstudios have a computer program that does nothing else than spit out stories like this, as they're essentially the same. Guy meets girl - falls in love - loses girl - gets her back. We've seen it countless times before, and this one has nothing that makes it stand out from the pack. It's not even especially good. No good performances, no laughs, and come to think of it, no (gasp!) tearjerking moments. The characters aren't even especially likeable or well done, only caricatures of themselves.

My Rating: 3 / 10
