Crossover black romantic comedy - Hitch Reviews
It is rare that I go to a romantic comedy and see a racially diverse audience. Usually Black folk go see "Black" romantic comedies and White folks go see "White" romantic comedies. What appealed to me about "Hitch" was that an audience in DC no less was very diverse and yet *all* of us (yes "us") could identify with the characters in the film. Sappy at times, Hitch *still* manages to be a "guy flick" that appeals across race lines *and* across gender lines. Black and White men, Latinos and Latinas were all guffawing at clever lines, site gags and the warmth of the film. I liked it, and in years to come, this film will be hailed as turning point in romantic comedies!
