James comes crashing nervously into the movie like a fat guy who went through the wrong door and ended up on the fashion show catwalk. He's perfect.

Will Smith may be on the poster, and he may be the catalyst, but Kevin James is the star and heart and soul of this movie.
04/21/05
All that’s left is Smith’s considerable charm and James’s appealing goofiness – and they’re not enough.
04/07/05
Sure, it has its precious moments -- but Hitch has the smarts to defuse them with large doses of slapstick, wit, or outright silliness.
04/01/05
The film is largely well-designed fantasy that is fun and entertaining.
03/24/05
Those who have seen enough of these films - and who know all their tricks - will likely recognize that Hitch is nothing special.
03/13/05
Works as a capsule -- a snapshot -- of what American metropolitan dating has become: a game of social defense.
03/10/05
Hitch will make dorky, husky guys like Kevin James and myself feel some hope that we too can date women who look like models
03/06/05
With it's share of Jerry Maguire moments mixed with real romance corn, Hitch is well worth the date.
03/06/05
Enjoyable romantic comedy that is sharply written and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, thanks to a hilarious performance by supporting actor Kevin James.
03/05/05
A full 120 minutes dedicated to the hilarious comic notion that white people can't dance (hee, hee - it's funny because it's true, we're so lame!)
03/05/05
James is a gleeful crackup opposite Smith.
03/04/05
Hitch isn't a memorable date.
03/01/05
Merely cute when it could be affecting, pleasant when it could be relevant.
03/01/05
Reminds us, sweetly, charmingly, and humorously, what Will Smith used to be like before he became an overnight action sensation.
02/28/05
While the last act of the film is kind of forced, most of it is just perfect.
02/27/05
...good date film...

.....laugh yourself silly as Will Smith and Kevin James make up the screen’s most unlikely comic duo since Schwarzenegger and DeVito in “Twins”.
