I saw an advanced screening of Hitch Monday night because I am reviewing it for my college paper. Its a very cute romantic comedy. The script is a little corny but all of the cast knows what they're there to do and they pull it off very well. Its also got a lot of hysterical physical comedy from Kevin James and Will Smith seems like the Fresh Prince again, making funny faces, letting loose and being silly. All of the cast have great chemistry and this feels like a truly modern romantic comedy; its fresh and in the time period, yet familiar. I'd say go to enjoy yourself and to have fun. The movie feels a little long by the end, but after the final scene, its all worth it.

Very funny! Favorite Wes Anderson movie...
9 December 2004
My favorite Wes Anderson movie. Very funny. It is sweet and Bill Murray along with the rest of the cast (esp. Dafoe) does some of their best work. The soundtrack (David Bowie songs) is really inventive and Willem Dafoe is hysterical as is Jeff Goldblum. I think this movie will be Anderson's biggest financial hit because it stays true to his style but is also understandable by people who don't usually "get" his type of humor. I don't really know what that other guy is talking about when he says that it isn't very funny. I saw it in a 300 person packed theater and everyone laughed the whole way through.
Something for people who are politically minded to watch out for and pay attention to are the scenes involving the pirates who storm Zissou's ship. When the passengers are taken hostage, it is really unsettling, especially given the current situations overseas.
