Hitch (2005)

If "Hitch" has been one of those movies which has sitting in your Watchlist for a while or if you're just one of those who has no idea what's good on Netflix, well then there's no need to give it a second thought. Hitch is the definition of how funny and enjoyable Rom-Com should look like-- without regarding your age or gender. The script is funny, original and plus it goes smoothly with the flow of the entire film. As for the plot, it can definitely be labeled as something engaging for that it places you in the shoes of most of the characters with their different perspectives in life. In short it takes you through an interesting part of both cupid's and the target's life showing you how several humane mistakes can play to your advantage and disadvantage as well. No matter if you're alone or with someone else, if you wanna laugh, sigh, and close your day with a smile, this movie is the right one for you.

While helping his latest client woo the fine lady of his dreams, a professional "date doctor" finds that his game doesn't quite work on the gossip columnist with whom he's smitten. There's a lot of great underrated Will Smith films but 'Hitch' takes the 1st place easily cause i don't understand how someone could hate this movie. It's hilarious, the characters are likable and the acting along side the plot is terrific. Will Smith and Eva Mendes have a terrific chemistry together and it shows on screen threw out the entire picture especially in that scene where they have an argument in a date ceremony or something like that. Kevin James who also gets a lot of hate in general gives an underrated and funny performance as a man who wants to date the girl of his life and the movie is so heartfelt and down to Earth that on it's own way is very unique and original. Amber Valletta is also excellent in her own part. The soundtrack is amazing and without a doubt is the most underrated Smith film and the most underrated romantic comedy i've seen in years. Give it a chance and you might enjoy it as much as i did. (A+)

This film is severely disappointing and was badly made. I was expecting it to be funny, which it isn't. I was expecting it to give good advice about how to get hot girls - which it doesn't.Will Smith is even more narcissistic in this than he is in most of his films. Kevin James' character is annoying and pathetic, rather than funny. I've never understood Eva Mendes' popularity - she's neither hot nor a good actress.

When I first saw this movie as a kid, I didn't think much of it and thought it was just another cute comedy. Now seeing it again as an adult, I could appreciate it more. Mainly because of the concept behind it all, when it comes to attraction and being able to be bold enough to get what you want out of life. Sure, some parts of it is quite far-fetched and I didn't think it was entirely accurate. Especially the ending, which felt a bit too generic and tacked on in order to make it work as another Hollywood rom-com. Usually in these types of movies there can be dozen other actors or actresses that can be able to play the lead role. But Will Smith just nails it to the point you will believe this role was for him only. The female lead is played by Eva Mendes who was at her peak of popularity when this movie came out. I guess she was alright, not a very likable character in my opinion. Which is one of the reasons why I don't get why the protagonist would fall for her. But then again beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Kevin James also fit his role in this really well and added to the comic elements. Overall this is a movie that is worth a watch, mainly because there is some empathy and understanding behind it for most male adults.7.8/10
