Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
"...a little like being on a blind date. Bits of it are charming, much of it is awkward and several sequences plod along with the self-consciousness of a first-date stop-and-start conversation." more... C+
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"...predictable, shallow chick-flick fluff. The truth is that's what's good about it." more... B-
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"There is a purpose for a movie like Hitch, and that purpose is to supply a pleasant and undemanding romantic comedy that you can rent next Valentine's Day." more... B-
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
"... tries to be cool, funny and sweet but falls on its face without generating any real sympathy, smarts or humor." more... C+
E! Online "...the silly scenarios offer a healthy dose of laughs." more... B  
filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
"...unsightly mess of a romantic comedy..." more... C  
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
"...unintentionally exhibiting all the clunky stops and starts and self-conscious ramblings of a particularly awkward first date." more... D+
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"To enjoy this film, it helps to check your brain at the box office." more... C+
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"As soft and sweet as a marshmallow and about as interesting..." more... C  
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"...pleasant, if slightly overlong..." more... B  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"Smith and sexy Mendes spar nicely, but they don't spark." more... C+
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
"...the less in control Smith and his co- stars Eva Mendes and Kevin James appear, the better Hitch becomes, until it's rather delightful." more... B  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"...[Smith's] antics comes off like teen movie gags softened for an adult romantic comedy audience." more... B-
USA Today
Mike Clark
"...Hollywood's most acceptable date movie in a while..." more... B
