DVD : Hitch (Widescreen Edition)

Rating: - KEVIN JAMES STEALS THE SHOW!
One of the better romantic comedies I've seen in a while. I was very happy to see Kevin James in this film. He really steals the show considering the screen time devoted to him. The relationship between Kevin's character and the upscale object of his affection is very believable. I would have liked to have seen more of the two of them in this picture. Will Smith is very good as usual and his story adds a good contrast to the people he helps win their dreams girls. All in all it is a funny lighthearted film that I enjoyed. The DVD transfer is very good.

Rating: - A Great Movie for Good Guys
Finally, something other than trashy romantic comedies with nothing but bathroom humor. As a nice guy myself, this movie resonated strongly with me. If the story doesn't hit you on an emotional leval, the comedy will at least have you laughing out loud. Kevin James, stealing every scene, really makes a great combo with Will Smith.

If you're a good guy, you will enjoy this movie. It just might inspire you and remind you that you are not hopeless.

Rating: - Will Smith

Rating: - Heartfelt Humor that is Thoroughly Entertaining
This is a very entertaining, amusing and outright funny film with heart. The trailers did not do this film justice. Will Smith is HITCH the "Date Doctor" for males who just want to get the girl of their dreams as is the case with Kevin James. Others clients are not so noble of heart. In the mean time HITCH is also trying to get the girl of his dreams. I liked this film immensely because the script is well thought out and the bottom line here is that these guys envision the girl of their dreams as someone they want to be with and love for the rest of their lives. HITCH's intentions are based on good old fashioned notions of what it means for a man to love a women and the commitment that goes with that.

Rating: - Will Smith Shines
Displaying that he can handle the lead role in a romantic comedy just as easily as he can handle every other genre in the field, Will Smith shines in HITCH as Alex Hitchens, aka "The Date Doctor." Hitch helps average guys gain the attention and win the hearts of the women of their dreams. He has a strict code that he follows and his identity has remained a secret.

Hitch is hired by a tax accountant named Albert (Kevin James). Albert is an overweight, average-Joe who happens to work at a firm that handles starlet Allegra Cole's (Amber Valleta) accounts. Allegra Cole is a celebrity and has all the money, fame, power, and beauty that comes with her station. Albert falls deeply in love with Ms. Cole and needs help getting her attention. This is a romantic comedy, so even the most improbable scenarios become likely and soon Albert finds himself dating the famous Allegra Cole.

Meanwhile, Hitch has some problems of his own. He's fallen for a national gossip columnist, Sara (Eva Mendes) who is trying to figure out who the unknown man Allegra Cole has been seen with really is. Hitch is a true genius at setting up scenarios for his clients, but all of the tricks he uses to help his clients have the opposite effect when he uses them with Sara. For example, A romantic trip to Ellis Island turns Sara into a raging and crying fury of hatred and a night at a make-your-own seafood place has Hitch breaking out in a serious facial reaction. As Hitch and Sara bond with each other, their relationship becomes increasingly rocky when a spurned client turns on Hitch and Sara learns what he really does for a living.

The poster and DVD cover for HITCH say that "Will Smith is `Hitch'". There's no better way to explain it because Smith is Hitch. Every gesture, move, and spoken phrase seems perfect. Hitch is a role that Smith was born to play. But Smith doesn't shine alone in the film. Eva Mendes is a beautiful woman, but she's also incredibly talented. She holds her own against one of Hollywood's most powerful actors. From various interviews she has given, Mendes seems like a down-to-Earth person. That reality grounds Sara and radiates through her and makes her someone that the audience cares for. Kevin James does an excellent job as the film's pivotal-plot character Albert and in many scenes upstages Smith.

I tend to like most genres of movies as long as there is a good story involved. However, romantic comedies are my least favorite film genre. Many romantic comedies made are trite and have no originality to them. HITCH really isn't like that. The movie has a good story, great actors, and solid direction. It's both funny and tender. Unlike many movies in he genre, HITCH is a movie that a person can enjoy watching by themselves just as much as watching it with a loved one.

Recommended for fans of romantic comedies, fans of Will Smith, fans of Eva Mendes, and fans of Kevin James. For movie trivia fans, the fire station shown at the beginning of the movie as Hitch is helping a client is the same firehouse used in GHOSTBUSTERS.
