hitch be a nice surprise represent a romantic comedy that actually have romance and comedy . most romantic comedy for me range from mediocre to horrible because they be not funny or romantic . hitch take actor like will smith and kevin james and and eva mendes into a fun and light a a feather journey that actually have me laugh and and yes and a little aww and how sweet . meet alex hitchens ( will smith ) and aka hitch . he a self proclaim date doctor while he help hopeless guy like albert ( kevin james ) win guy like allegra ( amber valletta ) . unfortunately and hitch have to deal with sarah ( eva mendes ) and a gossip columnist bent on break the date doctor . hitch be actually pretty funny and and it even make the standard slapstick scene work simply because the cast be so energetic and clearly have fun . i have to wonder why will smith hasn not make more movie like this . his sharp and rapid fire delivery be perfect for this genre and and his chemistry with mendes and james be wonderful . james be a real discovery while i have never see his show the king of queen and but he be funny and heartfelt and and he prove once more that fat white men can not dance hip hop ( smith response to his attempt be hilarious ) . mendes be hot and bouncy ( not that way and geez ) a smith perfect match and and amber valletta be sweet a allegra . hitch isn not perfect while it a tad too long and and thing get too dramatic near the end ( although this be redeem by the happy end fill with funny dance ) . but it a great refresher from the cookie cutter romantic comedy that keep litter theater .
