Hitch

          Easily one of the most well written romantic comedies that I have ever seen. While the basic storyline is incredibly creative and unique, the dialogue is also phenomenal. Will Smith delivers his bold flirtatious lines flawlessly which makes his character both likable and believable. Kevin James does the exact same thing, but for the completely opposite character. His awkward stuttering and physical demeanor make his character quite lovable.
          However, I must say that the story was a bit cliche in the classic romantic comedy way.  Two single people meet, become a couple, have a terrible break-up where the girl won’t listen to the guy’s perspective, than she finally listens, they get back together and live happily ever after. Sorry if I just ruined the movie for you, but its expected from any Rom-Com. That being said, Hitch did is in a unique way which made the story more interesting than most.  
          One of the key factors to enjoying a movie is having realistic expectations.  For Hitch, I wasn’t expecting an Academy Award winning performance, I wanting to be entertained with a creative flow of comedy and romance. In this sense, Hitch did a wonderful job and on my “Favorite Romantic Comedy” list.
