Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene after Hitch's food poisoning, he brings home an assortment of coffee and tea for Sara and himself at her apartment. When he hands her the tea, and when they are each drinking their own coffee/tea, it is obvious that the coffee cups have nothing in them. They clearly hold and drink out of empty cups. When he opens the plastic top, it makes a hollow sound - and is obviously empty. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Hitch: Basic Principles - no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space," or my personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You believe that...

Very Entertaining, 11 February 2005
8/10
Author: cd_airmcnair from United States

This film was not about stereotypes, nor dance moves, nor pickup lines, really. This film was about the vulnerability of peoples' hearts. It was hard to believe that Kevin James could play in a convincing role, that Will Smith could satisfy without action, and that such a hackneyed genre of film could succeed in such a way. I don't intend to sound overly endeared with this film - it wasn't "groundbreaking" in any sort of way - but it was a film worth seeing. Was it believable? No. New York couldn't be so simple and there has been no human being in the history of mankind that has the "hutzpah" of Hitch. Sure, there are bar-studs, but not ones that can get any chick, at any time - excluding those raking in seven figures, of course. The thing that worked best for this film was its true focus on the dramatic side of things, not just on the comedy. It was a funny two hours, no doubt. But it was also two hours that made you sit in your seat, become immersed in the characters, and smile.
