Will Smith is such a phenomenal actor when he is on point and he is truly focused and this character was just fun and silly and it was just something that just had you captivate it from beginning to end It is such a cute little story, and eva Mendez is the phenomenal counterpart to Mr. Smith. I think this was just one of those movies that you could just watch multiple times and still get the same laughter from beginning to end. I highly recommend checking out this movie and watching it as much as you want to

Will Smith charms again; best for teens and up.

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.

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.

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

Radio Times

It's witty, full of romantic wisdom and makes up for in laughs what it lacks in substance.

Rated: 3/5

Will Smith's first-ever rom-com. Needless to say, the versatile star was up to the job at the first time of asking.
