Hitch (2005)

Will Smith is no slouch when it comes to choosing entertaining and profitable roles, and he does it again here as a "date doctor" teaching social misfits how to win the girls of their dreams.  His current client, Kevin James, (only known for a TV serial not shown in the UK) was in pursuit of an heiress played by ex-model Amber Valetta.  Both of them were remarkably good in their roles and I actually found myself rooting for the success of their relationship.  I was a little less concerned whether Will would manage to link up with Eva Mendes, who is a little abrasive for my taste, but of course love will out.  It was the sort of movie where the viewer could turn off his brain cells, but still have a good time.  Which is all that is needed sometimes!
