Nell Minow Common Sense Media Will Smith charms again; best for teens and up. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Considerably heavier on romance than comedy, "Hitch" stitches together relatively few laughs but generates enough goodwill and energy to keep much of the audience in its corner. Jul 28, 2008 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek It's a fantasy that will fill box-office coffers, but it makes for a movie that's a little too innocuous for its own good. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times In the 17 years since (and the 10 or so before) the release of Hitch, websites and apps, which were geared to those looking for love or something like it, make what takes place throughout this film appear quaint, arcane, and more than a bit dated. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 7, 2022 Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times It's witty, full of romantic wisdom and makes up for in laughs what it lacks in substance. Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Will Smith's first-ever rom-com. Needless to say, the versatile star was up to the job at the first time of asking. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

John S Charming, wholesome, witty, a feel good watch that has some great lessons. Star power helps as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Jim W Hilarious romantic movie. Love this movie. One of the all time great movies. Watched it for 20th time. August 2025 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Audience Member Interesting story. Enjoyed how Hitch attempted to use his "dating doctor" advice on actual women and realized it wasn't all that simple. Liked, how there was kind of an action-comedy story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Zamya F Hilarious movie. I totally recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review James E Pretty cute movie with a few strange themes, but good intent and sweet moments here and there Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Ed R Hilarious and unique concept! Highly recommend! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
