Just so...so bad
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Manny's Movie Musings: Will Smith plays the title role in "Hitch," a debonair, love guru in Manhattan who helps out men completely lost on how to approach the women of their dreams. As Smith coaches a lovable klutz (played by Kevin James) into getting his dream girl to take interest in him, Smith meets and becomes very interested in a woman (Evan Mendes) who believes all men are dogs and true love is just a fantasy story. Although Smith's experience gives him an edge into breaking Mendes' mental wall, he will soon discover that the rules he created for himself and his students don't always apply. "Hitch" has all the elements of a good romantic-comedy movie: the main characters are likeable and they "meet cute"; things go well until a huge misunderstanding ruins everything; the problems are resolved in a funny and satisfying way by the end of the third act; the secondary characters are adorable and funny to watch; and the main players have great chemistry with each other. My most memorable, movie moment of "Hitch" is the scene when Smith has an allergic reaction to seafood and his face blows up as if he was stung by a thousand bees!Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
The acting is good. But the script really shines. Although I doubt the final script was in the same form. 90 minutes would have been enough even in the final cut, even if there was no clear finale. But the sweetened ending made everything just a vehicle to the good Christian values, which resemble any sort of patriarchy, in which the woman can take any career, as long as she falls madly in love with a manly man who will marry her and give her a home in which to breed and become a stay-at-home mom.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
This film is severely disappointing and was badly made. I was expecting it to be funny, which it isn't. I was expecting it to give good advice about how to get hot girls - which it doesn't.Will Smith is even more narcissistic in this than he is in most of his films. Kevin James' character is annoying and pathetic, rather than funny. I've never understood Eva Mendes' popularity - she's neither hot nor a good actress.
Will Smith is a excellent character as a relationship advisory. As a guy you have such pressure on your shoulder to make the first move whatever the circumstance. of relationship and is very cheesy, I know it's suppose to be rough at times, but this gives direction for the beginning of a relationship which for a guy who's wants to start dating is always great.Will helps Albert become confident and relaxed around the women of his dreams and end up marrying her. It shows that you just need to give it a chance, whats the worst that can happen.Will also goes through his relationship showing pointers on have to be a gentlemen.Overall very funny, great advice and pleasure to watch.
