X + Y + Z = Hit!!

X = corny formulaic cliche
    eg : guy apparently believes in love. girl apparently doesn't. guy meets girl. *sparks* confusion. clearing confusion. kiss. closing credits

Y = hot women
    eg : Eva Mendes

Z = Humor
    eg : it ain't over till the fat guy dances

Hitch follows the classic formula faithfully. Almost every scene is predictable. The last 20 minutes drag. This was meant to be a shorter movie. The reconciliation (d..uh.. it happens) takes too long.

Now that that's out the way, the movie is FUN

The inital *dating* scenes between Alex and Sara are refreshingly clumsy. Something that most of us would relate to. We don't live in the fairytale world and more often than not our dates spill ice cream on us and dance strangely. It's endearing to watch the clumsy bumbling romantic fools. and the first 1 hr of the movie is super. After that it drags a bit but still worth a watch.

Life is not about the number of breaths you take, It's about the moments that take your breath away


See this film on a lazy saturday afternoon! :)

Hitch, in one word, is believable.

It isn't the laugh-out-loud kinda movie but a movie that makes you smile; quite often!

girish.. you know what is happening?? we are fitting into moulds. becoming corporate, selling out to capitalism.. :) and voicing cookie cutter opinions..

The Man Who Wasnt There said...

Ah! I vehemently deny that...I will NEVER sell out to capitalism....unless ofcourse the price is good....cookie cutter opinions?whatever might that be? and oh I have always been smart..:P you are reaching up shld admit..

its a newfangled word i've been trying out for size..
when your opinions or ideas fit neatly into the mould.. it feels as though you've been cut to shape by a cookie cutter :)

I liked hitch a lot... but after that scene on the boat it felt like it was a totally different movie... it was a totally different Will Smith after that!!
