In
Andy
Tennant's
(SWEET
HOME
ALABAMA,
ANNA
AND
THE
KING)
delightful
romantic
comedy
HITCH,
Will
Smith
stars
as
Alex
Hitchens,
an
urban
"date
doctor"
who
helps
the
common
man
woo
the
woman
of
his
dreams.
Hitch
will
use
any
means
necessary--dance
lessons,
back
waxing--to
instill
romantic
confidence
in
his
clientele.
Why?
He
was
once
a
lonely
wallflower
himself,
who
learned
about
love
and
heartbreak
the
hard
way.
His
latest
project,
Albert
Brennaman
(Kevin
James),
may
be
his
most
difficult.
Brennaman,
a
junior
accountant
prone
to
clumsiness,
has
fallen
head-over-heels
for
one
of
his
clients,
Allegra
Cole
(Amber
Valleta),
a
well-known
celebrity.
To
complicate
things
further,
Hitch's
dating
dogma
is
shaken
when
he
meets
and
falls
for
a
beautiful
gossip
columnist,
Sara
Melas
(Eva
Mendes),
whose
sharp
wit
easily
pierces
his
cool
façade.
Conflict
arises
when
Melas
uncovers
Hitch's
true
profession
and
blames
him
for
her
best
friend
being
dumped.
HITCH
is
set
in
affluent
hot
spots
around
New
York
City,
making
for
some
splendid
visuals.
Tennant
gets
charming
performances
from
all
of
his
leads,
especially
James,
who
makes
an
amazing
transition
from
television's
KING
OF
QUEENS
and
nearly
steals
the
spotlight
from
Smith
with
his
talent
for
physical
comedy.
Nevertheless,
James
and
Smith
have
excellent
onscreen
chemistry.
Kevin
Bisch's
first
script
is
full
of
clever,
contemporary
dialogue,
alternately
pointing
out
the
silliness
and
the
poignancy
of
love
and
dating.
