Editorial Review:
Will Smith's easygoing charm makes Hitch the kind of pleasant, uplifting romantic comedy that you could recommend to almost anyone--especially if there's romance in the air. As suave Manhattan dating consultant Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, Smith plays up the smoother, sophisticated side of his established screen persona as he mentors a pudgy accountant (Kevin James) on the lessons of love. The joke, of course, is that Hitch's own love life is a mess, and as he coaches James toward romance with a rich, powerful, and seemingly inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta), he's trying too hard to impress a savvy gossip columnist (Eva Mendes) with whom he's fallen in love. Through mistaken identities and mismatched couples, director Andy Tennant brings the same light touch that made Drew Barrymore's Ever After so effortlessly engaging. As romantic comedies go, Hitch doesn't offer any big surprises, but as a date movie it gets the job done with amiable ease and style. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

Great fun, sweet and romantic I loved this film. Really well cast, think Will Smith is gorgeous, Kevin James is fabulous and all the other characters fitted in well. Don't agree with the two star reviews that there are hardly any laughs, makes me laugh out loud all the way through. Maybe that means I'm easily pleased, but I don't care. I love a good romcom, and this ticks all the boxes. Yes, it is very American and cheesey but it makes you feel good, and what is wrong with that these days? I'd recommend it, plus the soundtrack is great... more info
