Movie Review: Hitch

Hitch

I would generally consider myself a Will Smith fan. I don't go out of my way to watch every single one of his movies, but I like his work, nonetheless. His way of expressing himself comes out so real and rarely appears to be scripted at all. It doesn't seem like he is acting at all, but rather being himself. There is a spontaneous and raw quality to his speech and mannerisms that gives him great appeal.

Hitch was a decent movie in my estimation. I am rarely flabbergasted or overly impressed with a movie, so don't expect me to give sterling reviews for anything. Besides Will Smith's fine acting skills, Hitch had an interesting story, and the supporting actors and actresses did pretty well. The basic idea of the story is that Will Smith (Hitch) is a private matchmaker. He uses his skills to aide otherwise hopeless men to get the women of their dreams. Hitch ends up falling for a lady himself while helping a common clumsy man win the heart of a beautiful heiress.

The main thing I did not like about this film was the ending. The story was going fine, and then it had one of those conclusions that is just overdone and too "all-American". All the guys get the girls (except the creeps) at the last minute. They even had to throw in one last "hitch" where Hitch's girlfriend's friend finds a guy. Oh boy. Corny. The movie had a theme that dealt with relationships between men and women, and there were several times when questionable sexual content was included, so I wouldn't recommend the movie for children of course. Hitch was for the most part a very enjoyable movie.
