Hitch is one of those nice movies. You know, the ones like Dave or the Toy Stories. You enjoyed them in the theatre and sit glued to the telly whenever they come on but even though you think about picking them up on DVD every time you pass them in the bargain bin you just can’t bring yourself to actually spend money on them.
I suppose it’s because they’re just common movies. A shade above the typical American fare – Legally Blonde, Bring it On, American Pie – but set apart by slightly better writing, acting and class of cheap tricks. As I absolutely despise typical American movie fare this sort of film is as close to the proleteriat’s taste as I’ll get. Light-hearted, simple-minded romps are good for a laugh but they’re not the sort of thing likely to stick in the memory.
