    I didn't find it very funny at all. Will Smith is much better than this.

    "Basic principles... there are none."

    At some point, you get this feeling that you wanna watch a movie that doesn't include brutal death scenes and agonizing settings. That's a perfect time to watch movies like "Hitch".

    Will Smith stars as a guy who has had his heart broken. Hi...( read more)s goal in life is to avoid that from happening to other men.

    The best thing about "Hitch" is the dialogue and good characters. At best, this movie gives you good laughs and a feeling that I'll find the right person for me, someday.

    But like all other romantic comedies, this movie is also totally predictable. But so what? It makes you laugh and happy. That's what counts.

    Will is a love doctor, he gives men confidence to meet and date the woman of their dreams. However, when it comes to his own love life, he gets it all wrong. Will is great. Lots of funny moments e.g. the seafood allergy and the dancing scenes.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Looks like another love TKO. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The movie's last two minutes, in which they all do goofy dances and have no dialogue or script to get in their way, is easily the highlight. It's the previous 113 minutes of plot that cause problems. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Here's hoping this first romantic comedy won't be his last. Or the best. full review

February 11, 2005
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

This is the sort of role Smith carries off effortlessly, a decent, level-headed all-American guy who's more sensitive than his imposing physique might suggest. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Faint praise it may be, but those looking for a cute date movie this weekend could do far worse. As could Smith, for that matter. full review

February 11, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The premise is intriguing, and for a time it seems that the Date Doctor may indeed know things about women that most men in the movies are not allowed to know, but the third act goes on autopilot just... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Every so often you simply want a movie set in movie-land, featuring attractive people saying things that, if not witty, at least don't need a laugh track to prop them up, and you want it to play fair ... full review

February 10, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

An average romantic comedy, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes, that is as soft and sweet as a marshmallow, and about as interesting. full review

February 10, 2005
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Smith and sexy Mendes spar nicely, but they don't spark. In movies, that's the kiss of death. full review

February 9, 2005
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

By the time Smith offers up his unnecessary race-against-the-clock mea culpa, Hitch's cupid's arrow has already veered way off course. full review

    Did they make this movie about David Deangelo? If you don't know who he is www.jimgoat.com - I think they stole a lot of his material...
