Hitch is a love doctor played by well known actor Will Smith. He makes a businesses of helping guys with their love life to set them up with the perfect girls. He tries to help one of new clients Albert (Kevin James) to get a celebrity Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta) and Hitch himself falls for Sara Melas (Eva Mendes). The film is set in New York City and conveys the big dating world in one small picture.
In every way that you look at, this is a typical Will Smith character and performance. Hitch is a player who could get any girl he wanted and he is very good at being this date doctor and it makes him so unlikable at times. The same thing could be said about the female characters of the story. Allegra and Sara are doing so well in every aspect of life that you really don't care about them and you just wished the film created different characters as love inserts. The person you should care about the most is Albert, the chubby guy who's struggled all his life with dating and you just want him to have his chance. He's also very likable and funny.
You should totally dig the Albert character but he is faced with some uncertain factors. No way in the real world would a guy like Albert get a celebrity like Allegra. She is just too pretty. We can also question Hitch because it seems like no one can make a business off of what he does but he is somehow living in what seems like an upscale New York apartment? Can Hitch be this good at his job because he seems to be right on everything? He is an unrealistic love doctor it seems.
I really do like the general concept of Hitch but there are too many needed pieces that are missing to make it fully good film. In the end, Hitch is a barely above average film that should have been more.
3/5
