Top CriticEnjoyable romantic comedy that is sharply written and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, thanks to a hilarious performance by supporting actor Kevin James.

Hitch isn't a memorable date.
03/01/05
Top CriticWhat this comedy lacks in cleverness or originality it more than makes up for with charm.
02/26/05
Those who have seen enough of these films - and who know all their tricks - will likely recognize that Hitch is nothing special.

Top CriticSmith has more comic charisma with James than Mendes, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Top CriticAn average romantic comedy, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes, that is as soft and sweet as a marshmallow, and about as interesting.
02/10/05
Top Critic...a klutzy, long-winded, far-fetched and not-all-that-funny affair that somehow flashes an unobjectionable charm when expectations are kept low.
02/11/05
Here's hoping this first romantic comedy won't be his last. Or the best.
02/11/05
a pleasant enough meringue of a romantic comedy. Light, sweet, and essentially insubstantial
02/10/05
I didn't expect much from Hitch and, not surprisingly, I didn't get much -- but I was entranced by the film nonetheless, from a historical perspective.
02/24/05
All that’s left is Smith’s considerable charm and James’s appealing goofiness – and they’re not enough.
04/07/05
When it's funny, it's truly funny and the featured couples all have an easy and believable chemistry.
02/11/05
With involving performance by Will Smith and Eva Mendes this Valentine romancer is certainly worth seeing.
02/17/05
James is a gleeful crackup opposite Smith.
