Plot 411: A former nerd transforms into a magical date doctor and helps other guys win the girls of their dreams

Review: Will Smith plays Hitch, a guy who helps his clients to get the girl. He is confident that it'll only take three dates for his clients to win over the women of their dreams. He is also on the DL and no one really knows his true identity. He has become somewhat of a legend - people know of him but have never really met him. When he takes on a new client, Albert (Kevin James), he also encounters an investigative reporter Sara (Eva Mendes) who is driven to unveil he date doctor's true identity. As Hitch helps Albert conquer his dating fears with his tried-and-true tips, Hitch finds it surprising that these tips are not helping him with Sara. The humor of this movie comes with the ups and downs of dating life and the misconceptions between men and women. James is pretty funny in this role of Albert. The movie is a good representation of an inter-racial couple, although it is by no means groundbreaking.

Watch It: If you find that you like most of Smith's films.

Skip It: If you find that Smith habitually annoys you. He'll come off as particularly annoying in this film.
