Hitch

Hitch is the 2005 blockbuster movie that proved to be one of the most commercially successful in that year. Starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes the movie could generate enough publicity for it self that audiences went to watch it in great numbers which made it the highest ever grosser in the romantic comedy genre.

Hitch is about the fast talking and smart date doctor Alex Hitchens or in short “Hitch”. He is the proverbial love doctor whose profession is to take care of his client’s love problems and get them hitched to the woman of their dreams without any glitches. Unfortunately enough when Hitch himself falls for the confident and sharp gossip writer Sara played by Eva Mendes he finds to his horror that none of his tried and tested techniques are working for him. A number of hilarious situations follow that keep the audience entertained with Will Smith’s characteristic performance that only he is capable of .In the mean while Hitch is also catering to one of his clients Albert Brennaman a fat but cute guy played by Kevin James who is in love with the beautiful Allegra Cole played by Amber Velleta. This seems to be a challenge for Hitch since the match is highly unlikely and therefore Hitch takes up the case with full vigor.
He coaches Albert at every step of his relationship with Allegra and their affair develops amicably. Sara on the other hand is trying to bring out the truth regarding Hitch after one of his clients ditched one of her friends. As the truth is revealed Hitch and Sara break up and so do Allegra and Albert realizing that their relationship is not strong enough. It is finally Hitch who realizes that there are no rules in the game of love. His clients are successful not because he has coached them but because they are capable enough themselves. Hitch goes and convinces Allegra about Albert’s love for her which is for real and not based on any tips. Hitch also goes out of his way to convince the girl he loves that he is faithful enough and the movie ends with the lovers being reconciled and Albert and Allegra’s wedding. Rumor has it that Eva Mendes was chosen for the role because of her origin since the makers where not sure what sort of a reaction Will’s paring with a white woman will invoke. Indian actress and supermodel Aishwarya Rai famed to be the most beautiful woman on the planet was to make an appearance in the movie playing the role of Cressida which later went to the star Robinne Lee .It was because of schedule problems that Aishwarya could not give her dates for the movie.
