Mindless but satisfying fun - Hitch Reviews
First, let me say this, if the guy from the tv show 'Wings' deserves an Oscar nomination for his role in 'Sideway'... so does Kevin James (he of 'King of Queens' fame). I'm not saying either does, but I enjoyed Kevin James in 'Hitch' far more than Hayden Church in 'Sideways'.
Anyway, back to 'Hitch'... like I said in the title, this is no 'Hotel Rawanda', but it's funny, which most comedies aren't anymore (cough-MeetTheFockers-cough), and when I left the theater I didn't feel like I had wasted my money.
Will Smith is good, Kevin James is funny, everyone else is engaging or has the proper charisma, and the fluffy plot never goes too far off course. Plus, I'm a sucker for an ending where everybody dances.
Yeah, at first the over used breaking of the 4th wall device (talking straight into the camera) is a little wonky, but it gets better and is relied upon less frequently.
