| Hitch | comment |
Hitch is a 2005 American romantic comedy film directed by Andy Tennant, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes.In New York, there are rumors of a man called the "Date Doctor" who gives advice to Unlucky Everydudes and Dogged Nice Guys on how to get the affections of the ladies they admire. It turns out the "Date Doctor" really does exist—his name is Alex "Hitch" Hitchins (Will Smith). He gets hired by Albert Brennaman (Kevin James), who is a meek CPA in love with the beautiful and sweet heiress Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta). Meanwhile, Hitch bumps into Sara Melas (Eva Mendes): a rather cynical gossip columnist, and the two hit it off. Despite all of his expert advice and knowledge of women, all of their dates turn into crazy mishaps. But somewhere in there, they begin to fall for one another... | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Hitch / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Sara destroys Hitch's career as the Date Doctor because of a scumbag who dropped his title after breaking her friend's heart. Because she refused to state why she was angry with Hitch, she never learned until much later that Hitch refused to help the Jerkass because of his view of women. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
| Hitch / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: After Sara's friend slept with a jerk who dumped her on their one-night stand, the jerk spitefully dropped Hitch's name, in regards to how he didn't need Hitch's help after all, as Hitch had refused to help Vance. Sara is then convinced that Hitch tricks women into sleeping with Jerkass men and libels not only him but also his current client Albert in her column. While the former is Poor Communication Kills, since she never confirmed Vance's claim, the latter is Misplaced Retribution since Sara doesn't even know Albert and simply thought he hired Hitch to sleep with a girl. Truthfully, Albert is just a dorky worker who actually needed Hitch to impress an Uptown Girl and Sara's column torpedoed his relationship (if only for a short time). | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Hitch / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Hitch doesn't take on every client who finds out about him — he's only willing to help people who are romantically interested in someone, he doesn't help guys get one-night stands and he doesn't help them if they aren't really in love. This is why he spends some time talking to his clients and asking about the woman they're asking for help with to feel out what their motivations are and if they're sincere in their feelings or not. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Hitch / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: After a conversation with Allegra reveals Albert charmed her with various things that Hitch had warned him not to do, Hitch later says there are no "basic principles" (his previous catchphrase) - to find love, you should just be yourself. However, Albert still would not have had a shot, or even taken the shot, without the prodding and lecturing of Hitch, especially the opening scene that sets up their first date, and in general it was shown that Hitch first and foremost boosted the confidence of his clients in their ability to get the girl to notice them - being themselves, even when they were a likable guy, just wasn't enough. Confirmed in-story, as Hitch gets Allegra to admit that without his help, she probably would have never noticed Albert. | |

Tragically Misguided Favor | |
| Hitch / int_47ada33a | comment |
Tragically Misguided Favor: A less tragic variation. Hitch decides to surprise Sara by taking her to Ellis Island, thinking it would be a nice gesture to show her the immigration records, showing her the signature of the ancestor (Juan Melas, Sara's great-great-grandfather) that brought her family lineage to America. Sara bursts into tears and storms off — it turns out that said ancestor was actually a notorious serial killer back in Spain (When Hitch was researching Sara's family lineage, he mistook the headline "Butcher of Cádiz" for his profession). Sara, however, DOES forgive Hitch, calling it "one of those horrible family legacies we've all tried to forget", and appreciates the gesture, albeit acknowledging that it was a disastrous one. | |

Misfit Mobilization Moment: Slightly implied, as the people in the speed-dating session immediately perk up at the news that Hitch is the 'Date Doctor', and seem to actually listen to everything he's saying. It's not a stretch to think that even those few words of advice won't help some of them to take a chance and find love. | |

Where da White Women At? | |
| Hitch / int_6849cc47 | comment |
Where da White Women At?: According to Will Smith the female lead was intended to be played by a white actress (allegedly Sandra Bullock, whom Smith really wanted to work with), however the studio was afraid of invoking this trope. They also didn't want to cast two black leads, fearing they would alienate white audiences, so Mendes (a Latina) was cast to avert both. | |

Take That! | |
| Hitch / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Since the studio wouldn't cast a white actress as the female lead to avoid a racial taboo; Hitch lets it slip to Sara that his college roommate married his sister and they were expecting a baby. Near the beginning of the film Hitch is talking to an "old friend" in a bar (played by white actor Michael Rapaport) who is married and expecting a baby. It's subtle, but if one thinks about it, they realize that this character was the friend in question who was married to his sister. | |

Berserk Button: Hitch believes that his job is to help decent but awkward men find the love they deserve, so NOTHING gets him more FURIOUS than assholes who use his teachings to play with women's feelings, and he was more than willing to break a womanizing asshole's wrist when he did just that. (Hitch calls them "Men who hate women") Albert is set off by a news-stand manager who asks him "So how was she? Pretty good, huh?" after he and Allegra break up. This prompts him to trash the news-stand. We later cut back to him being arrested for it. | |

One Side of the Story | |
| Hitch / int_c6d8af73 | comment |
One Side of the Story: When Sara learns that Hitch is the date doctor she's been trying to get revenge on, not only does she ruin his career and his client's reputation, she never bothers to find out whether or not he actually worked with the guy who mentioned him. | |

Letting Her Hair Down | |
| Hitch / int_ccfc0535 | comment |
Letting Her Hair Down: As the film progresses, Sara's clothing gets more elegant and feminine as a result of her letting down some of her many walls. She begins the film in a sharp pants suit and ends it in a lovely dress. Plus she wears her hair in looser styles. While she still sometimes puts her hair up, it's not as severe as when Hitch first sees her. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Hitch / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Vance initially just seems like a one-off character to show that Hitch has standards and won't help anyone who's just looking for a quick lay. Then he pops up later to hook up with and uses Casey while name-dropping Hitch, indirectly jeopardizing his entire career. | |

Hilarious Outtakes | |

Hilarious Outtakes: And how. Seen here. The icing on the cake is when Will Smith improvises his scene of meeting Sara with what appears to be an entire sandwich in his mouth, causing the cast and crew to completely lose their shit laughing. | |

The Charmer | |
| Hitch / int_e4bb68b8 | comment |
The Charmer: Hitch alternates between this with his (usually male) clients and something of an informed Chivalrous Pervert in his personal life, though his intentions towards Sara were more on this side from the start as well. | |

Meta Casting | |
| Hitch / int_fac4ff79 | comment |
Meta Casting: One of the most defining traits of Will Smith in general is how big of a charmer he is in real life. Thus casting him as someone who passes on his skills in charming people seems like absolutely perfect casting. | |

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Allegra, a blonde, beautiful, wealthy heiress who is also a total sweetheart who is secretly just as much of a dork as Albert. Sara's friend Casey has strawberry blonde hair and is a sweet, kind girl who's had a string of bad luck when it comes to guys. That is, until Hitch steps in at the end. | |
