What is the one thing that all ?Normal? guys in the world want more then anything else? Get lucky with the one he loves. But the situation that all of us face is, girls just don?t respond. So how do we get lucky? How do we win the hearts of the one we love or are in live with? Simple. Take professional consultation from Alex ?Hitch? Hitchens (Will Smith). Hitch has devoted his life to help men win women they truly live by giving them various tips which actually work better then anything else.
He unknowingly falls in love with Sara (Eva Mendes) who is a journalist with a gossip news magazine and is also the totally opposite of Hitch. Things go full topsy turvy when he tries to help young, shy, clumsy yet sweet accountant Albert(Kevin James) win the heart of his boss?s daughter Allegra Cole(Amber Valleta). Since Allegra is the daughter of a big businessman, anything she does gets in to news and Sara, who is looking out for a story finds the relationship between Albert and Allegra as a spicy gossip story.
Very Funny, Quite Romantic, very charming and most of all very very original story. Good acting by everyone. Another showcase to prove why Will Smith is one of the finest actor in the world. Worth a watch for Will Smith Fans.
Psst ?
1) It was Will Smith who suggested Kevin James for the role of Albert.
2) Story Idea came from writer Kevin Bisch?s own dating experiences in college.
3) Believe it or not the official website of the film had an entire section devoted to the most common asked question about dates and asking out the woman/man you love.
Quotes ?
1)?Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away.?
2)?Never lie, steal, cheat or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.?
3)?Excuse me, by asking if it was Diet she took it as you trying to imply that she was fat. Go and get a red rose, get a regular coke and tell her that she is everything you never knew you always wanted.?
4)?Lean in, place your hand on the small of her back, say it in her ear like a secret. But watch your hand placement, too high says, I just wanna be friends, too low says, ?I just wanna grab some a$$; Okay. Friends. A$$. Me.?
5) ?Basic principles, there are none.?
6) ?You know what it’s like getting up every morning? Feeling hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds happiness, even if it’s never going to be with you.?
