(1 - 45) of 45 OFCS Rating: 69% Fresh Page   1   B "Harmless fun for the dating crowd."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 7/10 "Sure, it has its precious moments -- but Hitch has the smarts to defuse them with large doses of slapstick, wit, or outright silliness."   Freeze Dried Movies   Brian Juergens C "It's just too bad that Smith wanted to play it so safe and so easy when Hitch could've benefited from a stronger vision and much bigger laughs."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "the makers of Hitch – a film that overstays its welcome by a good half-hour – seem to be the only filmmakers in Hollywood to not know how to put together a fast happy ending"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti "Having conquered Independence Day, Will Smith has set his sights on Valentine's Day."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Sometimes cotton candy tastes really yummy, pop songs are fun for the ears, and movies like Hitch can make for a breezy good time."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "Reminds us, sweetly, charmingly, and humorously, what Will Smith used to be like before he became an overnight action sensation."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "Screenwriter Kevin Bisch emphasizes tired jokes and stock situations over anything resembling reality, something that's exacerbated by a seriously overlong running time."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "Too many false endings and time issues aside, Hitch is difficult to discount when it handles the rom-com formula better than most of its insufferably dumbed-down ilk."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "Kevin James is the film's greatest asset by far."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Will Smith is a remarkable talent, his reactive comic timing a thing of beauty."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "Although somewhat predictable, labored and gimmicky, Tennant’s narrative is given a boisterous boost by its charismatic leading rogue in Will Smith."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Like a big box of Valentine's chocolates that turn out to be a mite stale when you bite into them."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "Hitch doesn't impress with its sophomoric observations on sexual politics."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Even though a little less Hitch might have been a better thing, the Fresh Prince keeps the proceedings from becoming too stale."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Will Smith's charisma helps make this sweet, slight romantic comedy about a modern Cupid a light and disposable pleasure."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "Smith charms his way through piled-on platitudes and social faux-pas’ with his groove intact."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Works as a capsule -- a snapshot -- of what American metropolitan dating has become: a game of social defense."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "When Hitch isn’t being silly it’s actually quite smart. The film has a lot to say about the condition of the human heart..."   Light Views   John Larsen 3/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 4.5/5 "Will Smith may be on the poster, and he may be the catalyst, but Kevin James is the star and heart and soul of this movie."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "Hitch will make a great date movie."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2.5/4 "For a fairly typical romantic comedy, Hitch is a mildly entertaining diversion that ultimately becomes engulfed in its formulaic trappings."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "[Writer] Bisch... has a fairly dim view of humanity... as easily manipulated automatons..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "To play off of the Heavy D/Aaron Hall classic, now that Smith has found a love story, what is Hollywood gonna do with him? I look forward to finding out."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3.5/5 "Does a fine job of staying away from an overage of boredom and sentimentality while providing a good mix of laughter along the way."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 2.5/5 "Agreeable if not exactly good."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 2.5/4 "Hitch falls into that weird gray area of movies I sort of liked, but sort of didn’t."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "A pleasant date movie with several laughs and a couple of smiles. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "By the time Smith offers up his unnecessary race-against-the-clock mea culpa, Hitch’s cupid’s arrow has already veered way off course."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Se esta comédia oferece algumas boas gargalhadas, todas se devem a Kevin James."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "For what it is, Hitch gets the job done."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "What this comedy lacks in cleverness or originality it more than makes up for with charm."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B- "Perhaps the warmest surprise of the year so far is Andy Tennant's smart, big-hearted romantic comedy"   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte B- "A standard-issue rom-com in almost every respect, but the irresistible charm of its lead pushes it over the top."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "Only has one thing going for it and that's Will Smith, but that's enough."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "...several stories form a funny tapestry that is well woven by helmer Andy Tennant."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "Smith carries it off with his effortless charm and confidence, whether he's chatting up a woman, conspiring with the audience, or instructing a client, and director Andy Tennant gives it a light gloss and an easy lilt."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker B- "Proves how the occasional TV actor (or two) can, indeed, make a smooth transition to motion pictures."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Looks like another love TKO."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "A sweet, slick, streamlined yet, ultimately, forgettable ploy in the game of love"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "Knows its formula well enough to run its finger along the grooves quick and smooth."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 7/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 45) of 45 OFCS Rating: 69% Fresh Page   1
