DVD Reviews of Hitch (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: fun and funny but sometimes boring
Summary: 3 Stars

The talks are mostly boring and long.
The action is silly and funny.
Plot quite predictable.
Soso for light watching but expect boring moments. DVD is perfect (can fast forward through the long talks!).

DVD Review: confession
Summary: 4 Stars

maybe its my love of everything tarentino. maybe its the fact that a good movie in my mind has a least one gun fight. maybe its because i have seen thousands of martial arts and adventure movies. hitch is completely opposite of what i like in a movie but i still enjoyed it. for some reason i feel guilty liking this movie. too late now i have already confessed

DVD Review: HITCH
Summary: 5 Stars

Hitch is a terrific movie that is acceptable for my teenagers to watch. I really recommend it.

DVD Review: The "Date Doctor's" Successes with Single Men, and Then the "Malpractice"
Summary: 5 Stars

In this comedy, Hitch, the "date doctor", helps discouraged single men connect with women. He doesn't just advise them--he hangs around and monitors their performance. He begins by saying that women don't really mean it when they say that they are just into their careers, etc. He coaches men according to the principle that most communication is through body language. For instance, he tells men that, when a woman wants no kiss at the end of the date, she just takes out her keys and opens the door. But when she does want a goodnight kiss, she fiddles around with her keys. That is the signal for men to watch for.

The "date doctor' succeeds with even seemingly-impossible cases. Albert, a taciturn, nerdy, heavyset, completely-bumbling fellow, gets dates with no less than Allegra, a popular beauty queen. Spectators can't believe it. In time, this makes it into the tabloids, provoking such a furious response in Albert that he trashes the store carrying the tabloids and gets himself arrested.

Hitch's own girlfriend is Sara, who is highly cynical of men in general. She reacts with contempt when she learns of the very existence of a "date doctor", and then is furious with Hitch when she learns that he is in fact the one. She even throws things at him. Sara and the other women feel manipulated at the thought of their men's actions having been coached come-ons, not genuine romantic expressions.

So Hitch's world seems to fall apart. The heartaches are unbearable. Can Hitch win back Sara? Will Albert get Allegra back? At the end of the movie, Hitch makes a statement that is very ironic in view of what he had been saying all along about men, dating, and women.

DVD Review: Great movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Hilarious movie that my husband and I enjoy watching together. One of the few romantic comedies that is not filled with language and sexuality. We received this DVD promptly, and in excellent condition.

Description of Hitch (Widescreen Edition)

Alex Hitchens, a dating couselor who has helped countless men woo the women of their dreams, has trouble forming his own romantic relationships.
Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 8-SEP-2006
Media Type: DVD

Will 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
