The person I saw this with hated the ending even more than I did, and she was quite upset that Sara had not taken what she considered to be the minimal steps that should have been expected for Hitch to be able to forgive her before trying to win her back.
#AMBER VALLETTA HITCH MOVIE#
My only problem with the movie is the way Hitch takes care of his own problems at the end of the film. Like in so many romantic comedies, the way to true happiness is paved with misunderstandings, and this is no exception. I like the way the two story lines intersect and complicate one another, so that at the end of the film Hitch ends up with not one but two disasters to correct. The film revolves around two poles: Hitch's efforts to help the hapless Albert-an overweight, clumsy accountant with bad taste and music and a hopeless dance style-woo the woman of his dreams, the socialite and heiress Allegra Cole on the one hand, and Hitch's own attempts to get to know (but not to love) Sara, a gossip columnist. Hitch is a date doctor, someone who corrects the errors in a person's dating style that prevents his meeting the woman of his dreams. The difference here is that instead of an ugly man capable of great love who gives voice to a less deserving, but handsome surrogate, Will Smith's Hitch is a man who is afraid of love enabling somewhat unattractive men who are capable of a great love, an opportunity to express it.
The premise was fairly original, though in a way an inversion of the Cyrano de Bergerac theme. Until the final ten minutes of HITCH, this was one of the best romantic comedies I had seen in a long time. Great romantic comedy marred by weak ending!
