Hitch will make a great date movie.
02/10/05
Andy Tennant, Will Smith and Kevin James have managed to deliver a decent comedy out of a one-note idea.
02/10/05
Hitch falls predictably in place, but it throws surprises out along the way and has surprising substance.
02/18/05
Hitch falls into that weird gray area of movies I sort of liked, but sort of didn’t.

Romantic comedy is to cinema what hot dogs are to cuisine – the question is only whether it’s been prepared decently. And this one has.

Men may be from Mars, and women from Venus, but Hitch hails from the planet GetMeSome.

Not so much movie as antidote -- to the cynicism that's rampant in most Hollywood romantic comedies.
02/10/05
...a facile, undemanding romantic comedy elevated from formula dreck by the considerable charisma of Will Smith

A little like being on a blind date. Bits of it are charming, much of it is awkward and several sequences plod along with the self-consciousness of a first-date stop-and-start conversation.

Will Smith began his acting career as a prince, and he remains one of the most engaging, adorable actors on the planet.

... while both of these performers look great together, they really don’t seem to belong together.

Top CriticDating is difficult. Relationships can be tough. "Hitch" wants to be the Band-Aid that heals the wound.

Hitch isn't a memorable date.

This is a very entertaining picture.
