A man who teaches dateless wonders how to become irresistible to women learns just how hard it can be to do it yourself in this romantic comedy. When a guy in New York City wants to make the right impression with a certain lady, Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith) is the man he calls. Hitch has made a career out of coordinating a man's first three dates so that they'll show him to his best advantage (for a price, of course), and more than a few have taken women to the altar they first started

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.
I did enjoy the buddy dynamic between Smith and James, who puts kind of a cocky spin on the clumsy fat guy cliches. And there were about a half-dozen jokes that had me laughing out loud.
Looks like another love TKO.
The movie's last two minutes, in which they all do goofy dances and have no dialogue or script to get in their way, is easily the highlight. It's the previous 113 minutes of plot that cause problems.
Smith and Mendes are terrific together. He brings her game up so high you'd think she has had as many good parts as Smith.
Smith, of course, is so cool he can afford to pretend to be uncool; but what really works for him here is the interplay with James, whose inner-wild-man dance moves alone are worth the price of admission.
Will Smith charms again; best for teens and up.
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 everyone fall in love after the third date? In his world, they do.

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.
For what it is, Hitch gets the job done.
Will Smith can play a matchmaker, too!
A bouncy if slight romantic comedy for both men and women whose success lies in its wooly mix of many different colors, tempos and tones.
Kevin Smith is really the best of the film, the rest is just like another boring romantic comedy.
