Reviews for Hitch
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”.
02/26/05
Say what you “Will”, but Mr. Smith is one entertaining guy
