Hitch
Dating coach Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens mentors a bumbling client, Albert, who hopes to win the heart of the glamorous Allegra Cole. While Albert makes progress, Hitch faces his own romantic setbacks when proven techniques fail to work on Sara Melas, a tabloid reporter digging for dirt on Allegra Cole's love life. When Sara discovers Hitch's connection to Albert – now Allegra's boyfriend – it threatens to destroy both relationships.
Critics Sentiment
Albert successfully gets Allegra's attention using Hitch's advice
Albert gets arrested and Allegra breaks up with him
The film drops nearly 3 points from Albert's romantic success to the manufactured relationship breakdowns, representing the shift from genuine comedy to formulaic romantic drama.
Hitch delivers strong entertainment through Will Smith's charm and Kevin James' breakout comedic performance, with most critics praising the first two acts for clever writing and genuine laughs. The film stumbles significantly in its third act when it abandons its fresh take on romance for predictable misunderstanding plots. Despite the formulaic resolution, the wedding finale restores goodwill with satisfying character payoffs and memorable comedic moments.
