watch the movie you may find similarites to other movies as it has a recurring central idea to the movie Roxanne and the love story Cereno De berchiak(can't spell it sorry) The difference this time the guy using the help gets the girl and the guy helping really is helping his client and has no interest in the girl

A chick flick from a man's perspective?
That's the hitch in "Hitch" -- and, as a result, this Valentine bonbon emerges as a sweet-enough treat.
It's hardly a box of Godiva chocolates, to be sure. But if the cinematic equivalent of a Whitman's Sampler will do, so will "Hitch."
That's largely because the movie allows Will Smith to be what he rarely has the chance to be on-screen these days: funny and charming.
Usually mired in summer blockbuster bombastics, Smith rarely gets to show off the comedy chops he honed as TV's "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." Fortunately, "Hitch" takes him back to the sunny side of the street, where his affable, easygoing manner goes a long way.
That's also fortunate, because "Hitch" stretches its plot farther than a rope of salt-water taffy.
Smith stars as Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, a New York "date doctor" who's built a fabulously successful professional life coaching nice guys on how to capture the hearts of their dream women.
Hitch believes in romance. After all, his career depends on it. But he doesn't exactly practice what he preaches.
Ever since his college girlfriend broke his heart, he's steered clear of emotional attachments -- unless they're someone else's. At least until he meets gossip columnist Sara Melas (Eva Mendes).
Like Hitch, Sara's the type who has no time for romance, who claims not to believe in romance -- and who believes, in her heart of hearts, that her life is no life without it.
Besides, she's got a big story to chase: the comings and goings of celebutante-about-town Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta), who's got an unlikely new man at her side.
He's mild-mannered accountant Albert Brennaman (Kevin James, alias TV's "King of Queens"), who's making an earnest play for Allegra's affections -- with more than a little help from Hitch.
Can you say "complications," boys and girls?
First-time screenwriter Kevin Bisch certainly can. And does, repeatedly, juggling all the comings and goings, reverses and revelations, perceived betrayals and misunderstandings that provide the requisite roadblocks to happily-ever-after.
Like most romantic comedies, "Hitch" has a primary couple (Hitch and Sara) and a secondary couple (Albert and Allegra).
But "Hitch" also has an unusual hitch: its most appealing couple turns out to be Hitch and Albert.
Smith and James make such an inspired comedic team -- and have such uproarious fun during their coaching sessions -- that the movie's conventional romances can't possibly match the spark these two generate. (Especially when Hitch tries to instruct Albert in the art of the dance -- only to realize, much to his horror, that Albert's been channeling "Dance Fever's" Deney Terrio for years.)
To try and counteract this inherent imbalance, director Andy Tennant ("Ever After," "Sweet Home Alabama") loads "Hitch" down with all kinds of excess baggage, disrupting the movie's sprightly pace and adding an unnecessary note of strained seriousness to what should have been a light-hearted romp from start to finish.
But Tennant's keen eye for fresh locations -- even in New York's oft-filmed environs -- and his fond indulgence of an extremely appealing cast keep "Hitch" going even when the plot's mechanics threaten to bring it to a standstill.
As you might expect, Valletta -- making the transition from supermodel to actress -- handles the demands of her role with decided flair.
And, as her hapless but not totally helpless suitor, sitcom veteran James demonstrates definite big-screen potential, creating an effortlessly endearing character without resorting to obvious, applause-milking techniques that mar so much TV acting.
Mendes, meanwhile, offers sophisticated contrast as the determined, I-have-a-career-so-I-don't-need-a-life Sara.
No wonder she and Hitch are such a good match: Hitch has exactly the same attitude, which Smith embodies with a happy-go-lucky bravado that belies his character's vulnerability. Not that you'd know it from "Hitch's" script, which strains to keep these characters apart. (But of course: that's Rule No. 1 in Romantic Comedy 101.)
In the process, however, all that strenuous keep-the-couple-apart stuff makes their mutual attraction seem more than a little arbitrary.
In great romantic comedies, all those complications make their mutual attraction inevitable. Which helps explain why "Hitch" is hardly what you'd call a great romantic comedy.
So Smith and Mendes dutifully soldier on, working hard to convince us of something that shouldn't take so much work to convey.
Then again, if Smith and Mendes had the kind of chemistry Smith and James do, they wouldn't need to work at it at all.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and that means in addition to a big advertising push for meaningless pieces of cardboard known as greetings cards, it’s time to start shipping out romantic comedies. Traditionally, this has been a time of year dominated by Jennifer Lopez. Now everyone hates her, so room has been made for others to slip in. Others like Debra Messing or in this case, Will Smith.
Taking a break from battling CGI creatures in summer blockbusters, Smith stars in Hitch as Alexander Hitchins: date consultant and all around pick-up expert. Think of Alex like a poor man’s Alfie, if Alfie ever had the wit to use his powers over women for personal profit beyond the obvious acquisition of trophy pussy. Alex has turned his skills into a profession, and helps hopeless men get the girls of their dreams by giving them a tune-up. Known in secret only as “The Date Doctor”, he works exclusively off referrals and does his best to stay firmly off the public’s radar.
Hitch’s latest case is Albert (Kevin James), an extremely fat accountant in love with his celebrity client, Allegra Cole (Amber Valetta). Other than an incident in which he lent her a pen, for the most part Allegra doesn’t know Albert exists. So Albert hires Hitch to turn him from a fat, disgusting, slob into a dateable commodity that might get the attention of a super-celebrity. Hitch has his work cut out for him. Kevin James has a real talent for being well, fat, and some of the film’s funniest moments come simply from James’s jiggly dance breaks. Smith and James have decent chemistry together, surprising when you consider that there may not be two people on the planet who have less in common.
Not content to focus on Albert’s dating conundrum, Hitch develops a second storyline in parallel as Alex meets a girl of his own, and comes somewhere near falling in love. Alex, as just about everyone in a romance movie seems to be, is afraid of getting hurt and long ago swore off long-term relationships. But Sara cuts through his layer of cool, turning him into something of a gibbering idiot. It’s a unique experience for the master of love as “The Date Doctor” finds himself smitten and unable to win her affections. Eva Mendes is pretty capable as a foil for Will’s little boy antics, and it’s nice to see her playing an upwardly mobile professional for a change instead of another street racing hoochie or ghetto hottie.
As things often do, both Albert and Hitch’s plans turn to disaster. The movie picks up its pace as they scramble around trying to scrape their dignity off the ground, and Albert has a great scene in which he battles a particularly cocky magazine stand. Hitch loses a bit more of his smooth exterior, though not all of it. Playing it cool comes naturally to Smith and I sincerely doubt he could stop it if he tried. Be glad Kevin James is a train wreck. He provides enough balance to keep us from wishing death on the overly perfect Alex Hitch.
In some ways, Hitch has the feel of an old Cary Grant movie, complete with all the suave dialogue and sweeping moments people came to expect from the romantic desk of Mr. Grant. By today’s standards, a lot of that is now a little cheesy. Though we accept it in older movies, in modern films that kind of discourse can sound somewhat coerced. Hitch does its best to update that sort of romance movie dynamic but can’t shake the slightly artificial feeling, no matter how much Will Smith turns up the charm. Smith by the way is at his best when he’s just spouting off. The film’s more heavily scripted lines of conversation seem to hamper him; he always appears more comfortable when he’s just riffing on something. Maybe the man needs to get into improv. It couldn’t hurt.
Still, Hitch is infinitely preferable to rooting for Jennifer Lopez to find love with her feather duster again or watching Meg Ryan pretend not to age. It’s easy to enjoy and deserves some credit for not battering the audience over the head with thick, gooey love moments. Instead, it goes for fun verbal sparring and goofy slapstick to tell its sappy story. It certainly doesn’t have an edge, but who wants that in a Valentine’s Day date movie anyway? Women will love it and men will find solace in a romance story told from a male perspective spiced with plenty of physical comedy. God help me, I think I even liked the throwback Fresh Prince dance party tacked on right before the closing credits. Made me feel like breaking out my Jams and pretending I was DJ Jazz Jeff. Hitch is a little uneven and cutesy but not so much that it isn’t still moderately acceptable. Had it taken a harder, direr approach, akin to last year’s downbeat remake of Alfie, it might have accomplished something more noteworthy—but then it also probably wouldn’t make any money.
