Critic Reviews

Joe Morgenstern

Immensely likable, and allows Mr. Smith to fulfill his manifest destiny -- as an urbane comedian who is also, shades of Cary Grant, a romantic hero.

Jack Mathews

Smith turns it on with co-star Eva Mendes in a manner that will have George Clooney taking notes. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

While far from perfect, Hitch is a rare studio product that earns the goodwill it smugly demands. Read full review

Ty Burr

James has the forward drive of a trash-compacted Ralph Kramden with some of Ed Norton's random gentility and, here at least, he has a knack for fine-tuned physical comedy that gets you laughing even when the script's not there. Read full review

Pete Vonder Haar

The movie slides into slapstick at times, but it never overpowers the story. Read full review

Peter Travers

Will Smith has an easy charm, and this labored romantic farce works it hard. Too hard. Read full review

Steve Davis

In the end, while both of these performers look great together, they really don't seem to belong together. And that's the biggest hitch in Hitch. Read full review

One of my favorite movies of all time again. Love this movie! I love movies that have a storyline that's not common in a lot of movies. Thus is also really hilarious.

With any other lead Hitch would be just a slightly above average romantic comedy, but because of Will Smith's smooth and clever acting, Hitch is elevated from just another rom-com to a much more memorable and funny movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hitch is a nice "romance" movie. Will Smith is the perfect matchmaker, doing amazing acting the whole time. Allegra, the hooked-upped women didn't really seem too "good" for her boyfriend (her boyfriend is being aided by Smith). Smith's girlfriend turns out to be totally unlikable in the end. Why did Smith ever try to get her back? She ruined his career and didn't even care. The plot was overall pretty solid. How can the Ellis Island scene get any more awkward? Good movie, but it wasn't very funny and I was expecting it to be. 7/10… Expand

La trama es simple y predecible; pero esto se compensa con las buenas actuaciones de Will Smith y Kevin James.

Will Smith is obviously a big box office draw and males generally enjoy his work and Kevin James is known for King of Queens and other really funny projects. Both are heartwarming performers that you can get behind despite any flaws that they could have. It may be laced with cliché but its still an entertaining. It would have been nice to see Smith and James working together in a comedy film late on their career and sadly 10 years later there is still nothing, but I'll wait.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great little dancing scene in there thats hard not to like....but other than that I feel like i could have had kevin james do funnier things just off the top of my head,,,,but still they captured him dancing nicely and that might be the only funny scene in the movie...I don't think food allergies are funny....ellis island being sad for someone isn't funny....I feel like i'm missing a funny scene in the third act but idk...… Expand
