You can't help but love Will smith in any role, however, as 'Hitch' he makes each viewer feel like he's closer to him than his clients. Simple yet enjoyable.
Cute movie. Not one of Will Smith's best, but it was worth the time I took to watch it. I would probably watch it again if given a chance.
Critic Reviews
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.full review
Here's hoping this first romantic comedy won't be his last. Or the best.full review
This is the sort of role Smith carries off effortlessly, a decent, level-headed all-American guy who's more sensitive than his imposing physique might suggest.full review
Faint praise it may be, but those looking for a cute date movie this weekend could do far worse. As could Smith, for that matter.full review
The premise is intriguing, and for a time it seems that the Date Doctor may indeed know things about women that most men in the movies are not allowed to know, but the third act goes on autopilot just when the Doctor should be in.full review
Every so often you simply want a movie set in movie-land, featuring attractive people saying things that, if not witty, at least don't need a laugh track to prop them up, and you want it to play fair within the context of its tiny universe.full review
An average romantic comedy, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes, that is as soft and sweet as a marshmallow, and about as interesting.full review
Smith and sexy Mendes spar nicely, but they don't spark. In movies, that's the kiss of death.full review
By the time Smith offers up his unnecessary race-against-the-clock mea culpa, Hitch's cupid's arrow has already veered way off course.full review
