“Hitch” Movie Review
“Hitch” Plot Summary
While helping his latest client woo the fine lady of his dreams, a professional “date doctor” finds game doesn’t quite work on the gossip columnist with whom he’s smitten.
Welcome to Bland World
Nothing about this movie stands out as either being great or terrible
In the end, that is what kills it. The blandness is just not good. I can’t say I expected better from Will Smith, but I definitely did from Kevin James of ‘The King of Queens’– but, hey, I’m getting used to saying that a lot lately. This film attempts to make its mark as a witty romantic comedy, but it never hits the bull’s-eye. In fact, it never hits *anywhere* within the target. The allergy scene is disturbing; the fact that Kevin James can’t dance is something that wouldn’t exactly catch anybody off-guard, and is therefore (in a movie like this) not funny. This movie constantly tries to win your heart, but always with the wrong ploy at the wrong time. Some parts are okay (but I’m searching my brain for examples), but I really think this movie should be avoided.

The Unberable Phonyness Of Cuteness
Will Smith is fabulous. Elegant, handsome, funny, with an irresistible childish maturity. I hope one day he’ll get the comedy his talent really deserves. ‘Hitch’ is smooth, I hand you that, but the formulaic code by which the implausible proceedings unfold, makes the whole damn thing very irritating. I didn’t believe in the melt down of Eva Mendes for a minute. The happy ending made me think and predict a ‘Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?’ in their near future. There is an element of hardness and of selfishness that the cuteness couldn’t mask. I couldn’t help longing for Billy Wilder and I.A.L Diamond, for a moment of truth, no matter how ugly. Real comedies have that from Lubitch farces to Rock Hudson/Doris Day pastiches. None of that is present here. A few moments with Kevin James and the unquestionable charm of Will Smith will see you through, but that, unfortunately, is hardly enough.

A Romantic Comedy (Grand Slam) Home Run!
Okay, if you saw the trailer you may have thought, ‘Ha, ha. Another silly contrivance under the auspices of ‘high concept”. Well, that may be true (it is high concept), but the actual movie is the most delightful surprise to all you romantic-comedy connoisseurs out there; it’s HILARIOUS, the situations are fresh and unexpected and the writing is fantastic (for a high concept comedy; let’s be honest about what we’re dealing with here).
I saw this film tonight at a preview in Washington, DC and the audience laughed throughout. All I can say is that this film is going to make A LOT OF MONEY (probably $175M or so domestically is my prediction, it should do even better when word of mouth gets out) and it deserves to. Hats off to the writer and director whose names I’m about to look up here…go see it!
