DVD : Hitch (Widescreen Edition)

Rating: - Entertaining
The movie is one of the better comedys from the past year (along with Harold and Kumar go to White Castle). This movie has its bright moments and some of the film reminded me of Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor and Boomerang. Will Smith is entertaining as the date doctor who secretly helps a lot of guys win girls that they would never have a chance with otherwise. His big assignment is to help a basically nice though "bumbling" guy win the heart of a Paris Hilton type heiress. Many of the training scenes were in the trailer but are still extremely entertaining seeing them again in the film.

My one big problem with the film and the reason it didn't rate 5 stars is that I saw a lack of real chemistry between Smith and Eva Mendez (the gossip columnist who is looking for the elusive date doctor and wants to expose him because her friend was hurt by one of his clients). Granted the exchange between the two during their first meeting in a bar is excellent. From there on it seems like there is nothing there especially during the times when Mendez acts really weird in front of Smith.

Rating: - Will Smith is a one of a kind
What can you say about Will Smith? He can do it all. He can fight aliens, robots, true love, and still always bring his own identity to the big screen. If there was ever a more diverse actor, I'm not sure who it is. He is absolutely fabulous. This movie was a true mix of emotions. You can watch Will as he replays what so many of us have been threw, putting up the invisible wall so we never get hurt again. But then there is always that one person that will bust it down. This movie has a unique twist on comedy, love, and the never ending search for something you feel is out of reach. And so many of us can relate to this movie it was just fabulously plotted, well scripted, and done perfectly. By far I feel it is Will Smith's best work yet. The only thing I wish they would have done was include Tim McGraw's hit song, "My Best Friend".

Rating: - Good Date Movie
Hitch is your typical date movie, and sometimes I can be a real sucker for them. This is one of them. Will Smith, Kevin James, and Eva Mendes give good performances. They all seem to fit there part. I don't know what it is about these type of movies but I like them, this is a good movie.

Rating: - Just Your Average First Date Flick
Hitch is a feel good movie that'd be a safe bet to watch on a first date. With its gently rolling presence, slapstick humor and decent acting, it'll tickle you without going into crudeness.

Will Smith (MEN IN BLACK) stars as Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (aka The Date Doctor), who's sole purpose is to help loser guys gain access to the love of their lives. Hitch does this by training men to behave on dates and how to handle women in the early stages of a relationship. But when a CPA named Albert (Kevin James, THE KING OF QUEENS) comes to Hitch with a serious crush on a famous and wealthy woman his company works for, things spiral out of control ...for Hitch, that is.

HITCH takes a look at relationships through both genders' eyes as Will Smith's character meets up with Sara (Eva Mendes, TRAINING DAY), a gossip columnist for a local New York newspaper. Hitch has met his match and is forced to delve deeper into a nurturing relationship than he'd ever planned.

*******************************************************************************

Although the acting was good and the film didn't lag, it also was predictable and smaltzy. I knew what was going to happen in the film's finale ten minutes after it started.

So sit down and enjoy it during a first date, but don't expect any intellectual stimulation to get the ...uh ...juices flowing. Cerebral juices that is!

Rating: - Kevin James is Hilarious!
This is one hilarious movie. In it Will Smith is a date doctor that tries to hook up his clients with girls that they would by themselves have trouble getting either due to they are shy, not good with women or something else. Smith's character is trying to hook up Kevin James with a rich woman that he is in love with. It is a very funny movie in which Kevin James does a great job. The scene where he displays his dance moves is just HILARIOUS!!! Will Smith does a great job and has some very funny scenes too. All in all this is a very good comedy that I would definately recommend.
