while the date doctor concept be the one thing that save this film from be an otherwise average romantic comedy with a standard plot for the genre and i find it enjoyable enough to elevate my opinion of it so i end up like it a lot more than if it would have just a mediocre plot without many twist . will smith do a great job and a always and act a hitch and the man who devote his life to advise men how and how not to win over woman . ever since his failed attempt to keep his college girlfriend . therere plenty of laugh a he try to help his late patient and overweight and gawky asthmatic albert brennman ( kevin james ) successfully court beautiful co worker allegra cole ( amber valetta ) . also and when he decide to rid a woman he meet in a bar of the turkey who just doesn not seem to get she doesn not want him around and he find himself attract to sara ( eva mendes ) it appear to be a big deal for him and so i guess since college he never actually practice his own rule on himself . unfortunately and sara be a gossip columnist who be interested in the date doctor who get a seemingly dorky guy like albert together with allegra especially after player or jerk vance munson ( jeffrey donovan ) break her best friend ( julie ann emery ) heart and hint the date doctor he saw disgust him and when she doesn not realize that he refuse to see him . still and trouble follow and hitch be stick left wonder about what to do with his own relationship and while not be any great help to albert when he try to figure out what more to do in his . the acting be good and there a great deal of humor and some other fine point with meaning . hitch character be witty and wise and sometimes manage to be both at once . true and the misunderstanding where the woman be affront at something the man hasn not truly do ( why do they always show that . ) a common and irritating guess it wouldn not have be if it be the 1st and not 5th and time i have see it but the rest of them be completely new . i only wish this movie be longer i remember be able to watch 3/5 of it while it be play on a restaurant tv once but i still approve . it definitely worth the money to pay for it brevity .
