Hitched

Hitched? Not me!

I am only referring to the movie starring Will Smith. I am not exactly a fan of Will Smith, but thought he is still pretty good looking hunk with a sense of humour (especially in Shrek). 'Hitched' has a pretty cliche plot, but who cares? We all love a little predictable, funny, romantic and a happily ever after love story?

Boy and Girl are both love cynics. Boy is a love expert whose profession is to help other men secure their love of their lives. Boy becomes an expert only after suffering a bad heartache in college. Yet, Boy will only help people who are really in love and not lust. Boy and Girl fall in love. However, Girl is a reported who wants to interview the love doctor - Boy. When Girl finds out that Boy is the love doctor, Girl becomes angry and exposes him. This causes him to lose business and credibility and affects his clients. Boy also becomes angry. In the end, Girl realises that she still loves Boy and the same applies for the Boy. Boy and Girl get together again.

Simple plot. So what's so interesting about the movie?

I was very impressed when Boy wanted to win the heart of the Girl. He went through a thorough research about the Girl, including her ancestors. He planned a breakfast date but he refused to call it a date knowing the girl was adamant of romance. He brought her water jetting and lured her to an island with a museum for the first immigrants of New York. Girl was surprised to find grandfather's name in the namelist of the immigrants.

Hmm, few guys will go the extent to plan for such memorable dates. No wonder, even the love-sceptic Girl was moved. It is difficult for any Girl not to be swooned by the Boy or to resist his charms. Of the entire movie, I liked this part best because of the efforts that the Boy has put in and the creativity of the date design. *Wink*
