MOVIE REVIEW: “Hitch”

2.23.2005 — Leave a comment

“Hitch” (PG-13) served as an entertaining movie on our President’s Day get-together with Kory Pence and Chris Magee. Jess and I had the privilege of watching it in Indianapolis at the wonderful United Artists theater in Castleton.

While the movie WAS entertaining, there were of course numerous negatives that surround any Hollywood release! From pluggedinonline.com I found out that there were numerous profanities that I didn’t even remember hearing! These included an f-word and a couple of s-words. God’s name is misused at least a dozen times (once with “d–n”); Jesus’ name gets tossed around twice. Around 20 other milder profanities (including “a–hole”).

Kinda makes me re-think the term “entertaining” when my Lord’s name is used in vain atleast a dozen times…

The movie is NOT a clear representation of what “dating should be” by any means. It seems like Hollywood has once again given us the example of “most” dates and dating attempts being attempts at making it to the bedroom.

That ticks me off.

Kevin James (from King of Queens) and Will Smith are absolutely terrific together! Their on-screen antics made me think that this isn’t the last movie we will see with the two of them sharing screen-time.

Watch it discerningly – if you watch it at all.
