2nd best romantic comedy ever! - Hitch Reviews

Now, granted, EVERY romantic comedy I've ever seen is predictable (Boy wins girl, boy loses girl, boy does something crazy to get girl back)and this one's no different. I just haven't enjoyed myself as much in a theater since waaaay back when I first saw 'Coming To America' with Eddie Murphy at his best. Hitch is a smart yet light-hearted movie to take your significant other to see. Lots of laughs and fabulous acting. Will Smith is himself as usual, charming and hilarious, but it was the first-timer, Kevin James, that stole the show. Eva Mendes can do no wrong. (I heard her role was first offered to Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry so I'm glad the producers chose Miss Mendes. Unlike J.Lo and Berry, Miss Mendes has the ability to look both incredibly beautiful and intelligent in the same shot.) A lot of professional critics have given mixed reviews of the film because that's their job - nitpicking. They feel every single movie that comes out should be contending for the oscars. The best way to enjoy this movie is to go to see it for what it is - a funny date movie. Besides, most of the aforementioned critics are fat and old - Who cares what they think?
