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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 7, 2022

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2020

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 11, 2020

An enjoyable cast and a couple of charming relationships are enough to make this a surprise.

| Nov 18, 2019

In the end, our arrogant hero is humbled and must face the fact that he has cut himself off from real feeling, the same with our heroine. Meeting each other has rendered all their tactics useless, and they stumble blind and grateful into each others arms.

Under- whelming, and predictable cookie cutter romantic comedy fluff...

| Nov 22, 2014

Will Smith charms again; best for teens and up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

In a movie where the film's trailer has spoiled all its best scenes, and the onscreen chemistry between our primary lovebirds is a failed experiment, it's refreshing that "Hitch" still provides that rare buoyant romantic lift that the genre promises.

| Original Score: B | Apr 18, 2009

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.

Does everyone fall in love after the third date? In his world, they do.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 19, 2008

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 27, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 3, 2006

Fans of movies like The Wedding Planner and You've Got Mail looking for a charming date movie with lots of laughs will fall in love with Hitch.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 28, 2006

Tennant loses tempo towards the end as he tries to shoehorn in sufficient rom to temper the com, but by then we've seen enough from Smith to know he can - and will - milk this genre for all it's worth.

| Jun 24, 2006

As a Will Smith movie, this isn't likely to blow either minds or the box office, but as romantic comedies go it's certainly better than the average.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

For what it is, Hitch gets the job done.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Does a fine job of staying away from an overage of boredom and sentimentality while providing a good mix of laughter along the way.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 5, 2005

Very likeable and enjoyable for the most part, even endearing; the film stumbles a bit in the telling. Hitch just barely swings into a B+ on charm.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 29, 2005
