Verdict: 'Hitch' depends for its appeal on the performances, and gets a certain undeserved mileage because of the likability of Will Smith and Kevin James. For long periods of time an unwieldy, excessively talky affair, 'Hitch' makes nerds and studs alike so noble that it turns the chase into a neutered game! OK, well, to be quite frank as I end this review, halfway through the movie blows up into a splatter of misfired gags, political correctness and unappealing romance. There, I said it!
