Product Description: Alex Hitchens, a dating couselor who has helped countless men woo the women of their dreams, has trouble forming his own romantic relationships. Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG13 Release Date: 8-SEP-2006 Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com: Will Smith's easygoing charm makes Hitch the kind of pleasant, uplifting romantic comedy that you could recommend to almost anyone--especially if there's romance in the air. As suave Manhattan dating consultant Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, Smith plays up the smoother, sophisticated side of his established screen persona as he mentors a pudgy accountant (Kevin James) on the lessons of love. The joke, of course, is that Hitch's own love life is a mess, and as he coaches James toward romance with a rich, powerful, and seemingly inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta), he's trying too hard to impress a savvy gossip columnist (Eva Mendes) with whom he's fallen in love. Through mistaken identities and mismatched couples, director Andy Tennant brings the same light touch that made Drew Barrymore's Ever After so effortlessly engaging. As romantic comedies go, Hitch doesn't offer any big surprises, but as a date movie it gets the job done with amiable ease and style. --Jeff Shannon

It really has become noticable to professionals in the film industry and his legion of fans across the world, that Will Smith, since his role in "Six degrees of Separation", (1993) in the role of Paul, a brilliant performance, and Independence Day (1996) as Captain Steven Hiller, this energized and gifted actor cannot set a foot wrong.

Rating: - GOOD movie, GOOD blu-ray quality.
I thought this movie was very funny. The story was interesting enough to keep me interested. I've always thought that Will Smith is a great actor. The blu-ray quality was good, not great.... but good. It had some grainy scenes and i wasn't too fond of the contrast levels.
oh well, bought it for 19.99 and i'm glad i did.
