Hitch - 30th August 2011

So then, we wander off into our celluloid soiree this week, with another comedy, this time of a romantic twist, as we enjoy the delights of;

Hitch

Will Smith stars in this 2005 RomCom as the Date Doctor; Alex 'Hitch' Hitchins. He is a relationship consultant, advising, ill-advised men on the whys, whens and wherefores of love. Claiming he can get a man together with the woman of his desires, in just three dates.

That's the basic plot outlined, what follows is the very funny actions and consequences of Hitchs' advice.

To add a twist to the tale, Hitch falls for gossip columnist Sara Melas, who he meets in a bar. Melas is played by the delightful Eva Mendes.
Sara does not know that Hitch is the Date Doctor, so she falls for his cute patter and cool charm, that he normally teaches his clients.

One of his clients; Albert Brennaman (played by Kevin James), really wants to meet wealthy socialite Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta). These two are leagues apart, but Hitch weaves his magic and makes it happen. However, our gossip columnist Sara Melas, then becomes suspicious and intrigued, and finally discovers the identity of the Date Doctor. So feels that Hitch has hidden the real him and she believes that he makes his money by exploiting other people.

So what happens in the end?

Watch it and find out. Hitch really is a funny film, with constant laugh out loud moments, during the mid section of the film. The end becomes a bit more lovey-dovey, but hey! It's a romantic comedy!

Enjoy.
