Hitch

8.5/10 stinky bananas

Hitch rules. One of the best rom-coms of the 2000s. Who doesn't like a funny feel-good movie?

Will Smith is brilliant as Hitch, and if we're being honest with ourselves, he should've won an Oscar for his performance. That's the god's honest truth.

Kevin James nails it as the lovable loser. The King of Queens makes it to the big screen and knocks it out of the park. What a legend. A+ actor (not being sarcastic). Kevin and Will have great chemistry too.

On top of being a funny ass movie, Hitch has some iconic scenes that transcend the rom-com genre. I don't even understand the sentence I just wrote, but it sounds professional. Go fuck yourself Rotten Tomatoes! Scumbags. Anyway, the scene where Hitch has an allergic reaction is hilarious. Any scenes where Kevin James dances are fantastic. Last, but certainly not least, is the wedding dance scene that plays while the credits roll. It is the greatest credits scene ever. If you watch that scene and don't have a smile from ear-to-ear then you are most definitely a robot.

I do have a couple of qualms with Hitch. Why is everybody in the movie soooo angry about Hitch being a matchmaker? Who the hell cares? A guy's gotta make a living somehow, am I right, or am I right? Qualm #2: why does Hitch get back with Eva Mendes? She's an asshole to him for nearly the entire movie. You don't deserve Hitch, Eva Mendes! You stink!

Hitch definitely gets the TSBRSoA (The Stinky Bananas Recommendation Stamp of Approval). If you haven't seen Hitch already, then I don't like you.
