What this comedy lacks in cleverness or originality it more than makes up for with charm.

I didn't expect much from Hitch and, not surprisingly, I didn't get much -- but I was entranced by the film nonetheless, from a historical perspective.

Dating is difficult. Relationships can be tough. "Hitch" wants to be the Band-Aid that heals the wound.
02/22/05
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.
02/21/05
Hitch claims to spit on the importance of coded language in relationships. But these are only nice asides; the film is too comfortable with the rom-com statusquo.
02/21/05
Proves how the occasional TV actor (or two) can, indeed, make a smooth transition to motion pictures.
02/21/05
Agreeable if not exactly good.
02/20/05
... while both of these performers look great together, they really don’t seem to belong together.
02/20/05
Only has one thing going for it and that's Will Smith, but that's enough.
02/20/05
Kevin James is the film's greatest asset by far.
02/19/05
Se esta comédia oferece algumas boas gargalhadas, todas se devem a Kevin James.
02/18/05
A half-hearted attempt at a Valentine's Day date movie. Blind dates are one thing, but dumb and blind movies are another.
02/18/05
Smith and Mendes, unfortunately, fizzle rather than spark, a near-fatal flaw in a romance that depends on its leads' chemistry to succeed.
02/18/05
Hitch falls predictably in place, but it throws surprises out along the way and has surprising substance.
02/18/05
Hitch wastes both Will Smith and Kevin James with yet another convoluted romantic fable
02/17/05
Will Smith began his acting career as a prince, and he remains one of the most engaging, adorable actors on the planet.
02/17/05
Smith has another hit, James beats pal Ray Romano to movie stardom, and acting lessons pay off for a supermodel.
02/17/05
With involving performance by Will Smith and Eva Mendes this Valentine romancer is certainly worth seeing.
02/17/05
Andy Tennant may be the best marketing guru in Hollywood. It's too bad he's directing Hitch
