Reviews
Fans of movies like The Wedding Planner and You've Got Mail looking for a charming date movie with lots of laughs will fall in love with Hitch.
Does a fine job of staying away from an overage of boredom and sentimentality while providing a good mix of laughter along the way.
Very likeable and enjoyable for the most part, even endearing; the film stumbles a bit in the telling. Hitch just barely swings into a B+ on charm.
...Hitch asserts that men are simple-minded, oafish, accident-prone, not nearly as smart as women, and freaking adorable!
Smith's knockout comic performance, with its perfect pitches and pauses, ultimately saves the day.
Sometimes cotton candy tastes really yummy, pop songs are fun for the ears, and movies like Hitch can make for a breezy good time.
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.
When Hitch isn’t being silly it’s actually quite smart. The film has a lot to say about the condition of the human heart...
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.
All that’s left is Smith’s considerable charm and James’s appealing goofiness – and they’re not enough.
Sure, it has its precious moments -- but Hitch has the smarts to defuse them with large doses of slapstick, wit, or outright silliness.
