Hitch (PG)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith), is a low profile professional Date Doctor/Love Guru who secretly advises sincere men from all walks of life to meet & woe the woman of their dreams. Most men have difficulty finding love because it's hard to be yourself when your "self" thinks you should be someone else. That's where Hitch comes in. As a tactical adviser who specializes in first impressions – he customizes and orchestrates a client's first three dates. After a chance meeting with his last client Albert (Kevin James), Albert's super rich love interest, Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta) & Sara (Eva Mendes), a gossip reporter for a daily tabloid, Hitch was taught to throw all his love tips out of the window & let nature takes its course.

After watching this enjoyable movie, I can foresee a lot of single guys will go see it again just to take down the tips Hitch gave on getting dream girl.

Will Smith & Kevin James made a great on screen duo since...err...Batman & Ro...nah~, more like Bad Boys' Will Smith & Martin Lawrence! Good chemistry between them helped to enhance the humor of the simplest joke; eg, the dance lesson.

What I particularly like is a flashback scene about Hitch in high school, which explain how the Date Doctor thingy came about. And also Hitch's "sea food allergy" sequence, I can relate to that because I'm allergic to sea food too...but not to his extend. *phew~!

Will Smith, being a ladies' man fit the role of Hitch like a glove! Kevin James "heavy weight" comical appearance also made his character believable. Eva Mendes' Sara is a little conflicting, one moment she's a strong, hard headed career woman with a rather high EQ, the next you see her throwing broccolis at Hitch like a rabid bitch...love/hate changes everything?
