Hitch

Why is this movie on my blog you ask? Good question! It was not a huge box office hit. It was not a critical favorite. It was not an artistic masterpiece. Still is was a good story well told. And, every woman I know says every man they know should watch this movie at least once, and some may need to see it additional times to get the message.

Director Andy Tennant (Ever After, Anna and the King, and Sweet Home Alabama) does a great job showing all American men in the form of either Will Smith (Independence Day, Men in Black series, and I Am Legend) or Kevin James (King of Queens series). While these 2 guys are not the extremes of American men, the do cover the vast majority of us. The message? Somewhere in the middle it what most women want.

Smith's character is a dating consultant who is super suave and a total winner. James' character is his client who has the nots for a super model type, way out of his league. But, "Hitch" takes on the challenge. Along the way, they both get what they want in a very amusing, and educational manner. Yes, it's totally predictable, but the journey is plenty fun for both genders.

This was billed as a great data movie, and I heartily endorse that concept.

Watch this movie with someone who can laugh at themself without spraying popcorn all over.
