Hitch Movie

On Friday I saw the movie “Hitch”, which starred: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, Robinne Lee and Julie Ann Emery.

The storyline involved the following: “Alex ''Hitch'' Hitchens (Smith) is a dating consultant, of sorts. Working strictly from referrals, this legendary but strictly anonymous New York ''date doctor'' helps men all over the city woo the women of their dreams. He coaches the guys on how to make it to the third date. After that, they're on their own. When Hitch meets his newest client--the meek, bespectacled accountant Albert (Kevin James), who is completely smitten with the glamorous heiress Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta)--the self-proclaimed Michelangelo of love believes he has found what he calls his ''Sistine Chapel.'' But at the same time Hitch is prescribing his magic to Albert, he finds he can't take his own medicine. He's falling for the gorgeous, whip-smart gossip columnist Sara Melas (Eva Mendes), but their dates are more than disastrous. To top it off, Sara's biggest scoop could very well be the unmasking of Manhattan's most famous date doctor. Oh, what's a professional bachelor-turned-lovesick fellow to do?”

I would rate the movie a “B”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a medium popcorn and a medium soft drink. It was a delightful romantic comedy, though it gets too serious at the end of the movie.
