Another comedy that I thought I want to see on the big screen and you know what? I kinda glad that I didn't. I know it might sound harsh but I thought that the script was original yes but there are too many cliches and too many err... romantic poems that were read too often... But nonetheless I was laughing my ass off... *sorry*
Here is the storyline... Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens is a dating doctor... he is a modern-day cupid who secretly coaches clueless men into landing the women of their dreams (borrowed from Oprah ^--^). He gives hope to those who are too shy, too dorky and too geeky looking guys who are indeed very nice and good natured... and hook them up with good looking gals... ok that might sound a bit brutal but in the beginning it seems that way but indeed they actually are very good natured and sincere... Which brings me to Albert, who is played by Kevin James and fall in love with a heiress, Allegra Cole. I was laughing the hardest during the scene where Albert supposedly shows off his dancing skill to Hitch and to tell you the truth IT WAS HILARIOUS!! Oh my... I can't even keep my mouth shut... You should have seen my couz looking at me... oh gosh...I am not saying that it is not worth watching but indeed it is one of the few comedies that I actually enjoyed watching as well as feel embarassed with the characters... Although... I dunno about the casting of Sarah who is Hitch's 'love interest', she is played by Eva Mendes... I dunno... I thought it was ok... but I always see her as a butt-kicking heroine... so... doesn't really fit the picture... yeah but besides that tiny problem it was an ok movie...
Somehow I kept thinking that Will Smith gets great scripts all the time... he was in Independence Day which went big, and then Man in Black 1 & 2 where the first one was hugely popular but dunno about the second one... and then I, Robot which I absolutely think that the storyline is just crazy and so cryptic... but maybe I wasn't really paying that much attention but I love the CG ^--^... And I also love Prince of Bel-Air... I thought it was hilarious... I know they were reruns but Nine just keep on showing 'em sometime ago and I thought it was hilarious...Anyways... back to Hitch I thought it was awesome... It just makes you laugh the whole way... and I really think this is a total chick movie... and somehow I can't stop thinking that maybe the writers were a bit bias in a sense that the imperfections always come from the guys and the gals seem to be almost flawless in a sense... but anyway... I was being too critical about it...
It should be one of those movies that you enjoy and don't care about the technical, directional, movie related jargons thing... It should become one of those movies that you watch during a rainy day and you hugged by a fluffy blanket and with a warm cocoa in one hand... yes... it's definitely one of those movies that you will enjoy... and also one of those movies that you should make the guys watch too to get some hints ^--^... anyway I'm out now... still got tonnes of things to do and heaps more books to read... catch ya all later then... later days! (<< borrowing from Tino from Disney's "The Weekenders" ^--^)ps. Will Smith still looks good even after all these years...
