Curiosità:

Andy Tennant offered Aishwarya Rai a part in this film, but she turned down the offer because she was working on Bride & Prejudice (2004) at the time.

Errori:

Continuity: When Allegra boards her yacht, she removes her shoes and walks up a boarding ramp. After her short conversation with Hitch, Albert steps up onto the deck before attacking Hitch. When Hitch leaves the yacht minutes later, he has to step up to disembark and the boarding ramp is un-attached and lying flat on the dock. For the amount of real time involved, any tide change would be negligible, the boarding ramp would still be in place, and Hitch would walk down it to get on the dock.

Citazioni:

[first lines]
Hitch: Basic Principles - no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space," or my personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You believe that...

Very Entertaining

This film was not about stereotypes, nor dance moves, nor pickup lines, really. This film was about the vulnerability of peoples' hearts. It was hard to believe that Kevin James could play in a convincing role, that Will Smith could satisfy without action, and that such a hackneyed genre of film could succeed in such a way. I don't intend to sound overly endeared with this film - it wasn't "groundbreaking" in any sort of way - but it was a film worth seeing. Was it believable? No. New York couldn't be so simple and there has been no human being in the history of mankind that has the "hutzpah" of Hitch. Sure, there are bar-studs, but not ones that can get any chick, at any time - excluding those raking in seven figures, of course. The thing that worked best for this film was its true focus on the dramatic side of things, not just on the comedy. It was a funny two hours, no doubt. But it was also two hours that made you sit in your seat, become immersed in the characters, and smile.
