In a movie where the film's trailer has spoiled all its best scenes, and the onscreen chemistry between our primary lovebirds is a failed experiment, it's refreshing that "Hitch" still provides that rare buoyant romantic lift that the genre promises.

Does a fine job of staying away from an overage of boredom and sentimentality while providing a good mix of laughter along the way.
For what it is, Hitch gets the job done.
Will Smith can play a matchmaker, too!
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.
Harmless fun for the dating crowd.
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.
