Hitch : 3 of 5
2.21.2005 7:34 PM \| Link	I like a good romantic comedy every now and then, and the previews for this movie were pretty funny, so my pal Melinda and I went. It was nothing spectacular, but it definitely had some good moments and kind of makes a guy like me think about relationships, attraction, and all that spooky stuff. Will Smith is just a cool guy - I don't know if it's all attitude or style, but he always does a great job of making anything seem smooth (both on and off camera, from what I've seen), so he's a great choice to play the "date doctor". There's a little bit of narration to get the audience into the philosophy of what he does, which is basically to get women to see guys they normally wouldn't notice. Of course, there are two plots - one is about Hitch's work with a guy and the celebrity girl he loves, and the other is about Hitch himself, his past, and his attempts with the female lead. Even though they show a funny little flashback of Hitch before he was cool, it really doesn't flesh out his character - he still ends up seeming a little shallow. But hey, this is just a little comedy, so who needs depth? It's always fun to see underdogs coming out on top, so I enjoyed the show! I liked the soundtrack, too - I actually already knew two songs they featured (from Everything But the Girl and Pink Martini), so I feel really hip. Labels: movies
