Hitch
Directed by Andy Tennant. Story: A date coach finds it harder then the boot's on the other foot. Running Time: 1hr 55 minutes. Certificate 12A.
Well butter my cheeks and call me Maureen. A funny romantic comedy! I thought they were extinct. I've been looking forward to Hitch since I first saw the trailer months ago and, despite showing most of the best bits in the trailer, it still came up trumps. I can watch that fat bloke trying to dance over and over, and it's still fresh. Kind of like farting in church.
Hitch is a light, well-written romantic comedy and is a perfect date movie. Everyone will enjoy it, with the possible exception of the Steven Seagal brigade, and it'll leave the two of you with a nice warm buzz to ride home with. Just remember not to use any of Hitch's techniques on her after she's seen it... I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: It should be a chick-flick but it I reckon most people will dig it. To enjoy this film you should: be OK with a schmaltzy ending.

Cast: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, Amber Valletta.
Will Smith is the leading man, Hitch, who provides coaching to
guys who need a bit of a hand with dating. An idea like that could so easily have been tacky and insensitive,
but thanks to the excellent script and Will Smith's cheeky persona, it is extremely effective. The first half
of the movie, where Will teaches his protégés how to behave around the opposite sex, is delightful.
Exaggerated, but delightful nonetheless - and this gets the viewer on the movie's side for the second half,
which is far less funny. That's the trouble with romantic comedies, the first half uses up all the good jokes
to set the scene, leaving the second half to deal with the romance. In this case, the tying up of the story
leaves much to be desired, in the desperate requirement to complete all the threads fluffily. Call me cynical,
but I found the conclusion a little predictable and rose-tinted. I'd like to see the "one year on" picture,
I bet it's not as rose-tinted then...
Both Will Smith and Eva Mendes are ideal as the lead couple, with excellent support from Hitch's clumsy fat
student Kevin James and Amber Valletta as his out-of-reach quarry.
In a less sensitive scenario, the whole date-training shenanigans would have been horrible, yet
cleverly it is made to look like a public service, a way to level the playing field, helping the little guy
make the most of what he's got to give him a fighting chance against the obnoxious arses whose previous
conquests make women so guarded in the first place. He's like a modern day Robin Hood, but with more
flirting and less pooing in the woods.
