DVD Reviews of Hitch (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: I did absolutely nothing
Summary: 4 Stars
Hitch is not as clean as the "Princess Diaries" and has some quite a bit of sexual oriented language. However, there are no sex scenes in the movie. Language content is the problem for younger audiences. The movie has sections that have an uncomfortable edge about it. Hitch could have been a "G rated movie", if the directors had removed the amount of sexual oriented content. Otherwise, this is a very funny movie.
Hitch meets Sara at a night club. Hitch is a master gets noticed by her, fending off another persistent man. Hitch offers her a martini. A metaphysical argument about what is real and not real interchanges between the two. I really not sure what the dialogue meant. It seems like both are saying, that a real relationship or guinue protrayal of self, itself is a deception. Real acceptance of each is what they both want the most, but can't seem too find it. They can only provide advice to others. Both laugh at the irony. Hitch is persistent, contacts Sara at her work, by Walkie-talkie, and gets her to agree too a mystery date. Sara and Hitch go by Jet skis to the mystery location, Ellis Island where she sees the name of her grandfather's name, in a showcase manuscript. The magically moment is destroyed because the grandfather is a criminal, fugative, abandoned the family, and a deep family shame. Hitch is shocked, the date did not go like he envisioned.
The villian is a Wall Street trader, who gets a referral to meet with the Date Dr, Hitch. It turns out the villian is a jerk, he wants consulting, but his intentions are diabolical and cruel. The villian is fustrated by a woman, who he wants to have sex with. The woman is unconsenting and the villians wants Hitches consultanting services too help he get what he wants. Hitch realizes the man is a sexual predator, prepares to leave, but the man demands control, offers money which Hitch rejects and finally in desparation grabs Hitch. Hitch reverses the wrist lock, insults the man, and leaves. The villian continues to prey upon women. One of his victims is a friend of Sara, a gossip columnist, who has taken a liking to Hitch. This makes Sara hate the Date Dr and want to expose him.
Hitch's business is a secret from Sara. Sara is tracking Albert and Allegra emerging celebrity relationship. Sara talks to her friend about how purchased the tickets for Albert and Allegra. Sara learns that the Date Dr bought the tickets. From this information, Sara discovers Hitch's identity as the mysterious Date Dr.. Hitch is in trouble with Sara, who reveals who the Date Doctor is, in the tabloids. This destorys Albert and Allegras relationship, ruins Hitches business, and embarrasses Sara. Shock entertainment is a cutthroat business. Hitch confronts Sara at a dating seminar and gets Sara too see his job is help people like Albert, "get an opportunity to experience real love with the one they want. His job is too get them noticed." Sara and Hitch resolve the miscommunication and Hitch declares that the villian is not his client. Sara believes Hitch.
Hitch is a observer, psychologist, and strategist. Hitch is coaching Albert Brennaman, who is in love with Allegra Cole. "Search and Destroy", Albert, "Search and Destroy" is the goal. Albert must gain the attention of Allegra. Albert and Allegra are part of an financial advisor board assembled by her fathers corporation. Rule 1, Albert is instructed to pay attention too what Allegra is saying. Allegra wants to invest $500,000 in a business plan of a friend. When Allegra makes the request for the money, the board sidesteps suggesting that they research alternatives and collabrate later on a decision. Albert makes his move, "I think Mrs Cole should be able to do what she wants with her money. After all, it is her money." The directors chastises Albert and tries to get him to be silent. Albert instead announces he quites and exists the board room. Hitch learns about the event and wants Albert to remain calm, Albert panicks and wants to return back to the board room and grovel for his job, a wrestling match ensues. Meanwhile Sara knocks on the door, tells Albert, she is impressed that Albert stood up for her, telling him, "no has every talked like that too me." Strange, I never hear Albert say anything to Allegra in the meeting. Allegra is attract to Albert quirk behaviors. A fairy tale in the making.
Hitch has Albert call Allegra and tells him turn down the date which is changed to an invitation at a celebrity party. Hitch tells Albert, "they only get one chance", any mistakes and Albert became unnoticed. The director seems to be telling a truth about celebrity lifestyle. Celebrities are constantly being watched, tabloids talk about their relationships, success or failing; but especially failing. Celebrities are the center to attention, they wear expensive clothes, drive eye catchy cars, and smile for hundreds of photoshots. Hitch tells Albert when dance to stay in his space, not to extend his arms six inches from his body, and shake firmly to let other celebrities know your there. Albert performs excellent, defends Allegra, but mistaking dances while Allegra has his back to him which hits the tabloids the next day. At the end Allegra, herself is uncomfortable with the way she dances and has fallen in love with Alberts true self. During the kiss scene Allegra goes 90 percent and Albert 10. Both fall in love with their true selves. After Hitch is exposed, he confront Allegra because she has rejected Albert. Hitch discovers that Allegra fell in love with the real Albert. It is so sweet. They get married and live happily ever after. The end.
Description of Hitch (Widescreen Edition)
Meet Hitch (Will Smith) New York City's greatest matchmaker. Love is his job and he'll get you the girl of your dreams in just three easy dates guaranteed! And that's exactly what happens when Albert Brennaman (TV's Kevin James "The King of Queens") wins the heart of gorgeous society heiress Allegra Cole (supermodel Amber Valletta). So when tabloid columnist Sara Melas (Eva Mendes Stuck On You Once Upon a Time in Mexico) decides to uncover the secret behind the tubby schlub's success she's shocked to discover that Alex Hitchens the charming young man she's been seeing is the legendary date doctor himself. Exposed in a front-page scoop it's now up to Alex to try to save Albert and Allegra's relationship as well as his own. Which only goes to show that just when you think you've found true love there's always a HITCH.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 Age: 043396112353 UPC: 043396112353 Manufacturer No: 11235Will Smith's easygoing charm makes Hitch the kind of pleasant, uplifting romantic comedy that you could recommend to almost anyone--especially if there's romance in the air. As suave Manhattan dating consultant Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, Smith plays up the smoother, sophisticated side of his established screen persona as he mentors a pudgy accountant (Kevin James) on the lessons of love. The joke, of course, is that Hitch's own love life is a mess, and as he coaches James toward romance with a rich, powerful, and seemingly inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta), he's trying too hard to impress a savvy gossip columnist (Eva Mendes) with whom he's fallen in love. Through mistaken identities and mismatched couples, director Andy Tennant brings the same light touch that made Drew Barrymore's Ever After so effortlessly engaging. As romantic comedies go, Hitch doesn't offer any big surprises, but as a date movie it gets the job done with amiable ease and style. --Jeff Shannon
