Hitch

Romantic-comedy

Few observations:
i. Music that runs in the background seems to have been pilfered:
a. When Albert goes after Allegra(i.e just before the board-room sequence) - the background music seems to be an adaptation of James Bond theme music(of course, maybe the film-maker wanted it that way ... but it is truly unoriginal of the music director to have done that)
b. When Will Smith jumps on top of the car which Eva Mendes is driving(during the finishing-stages of the movie), the background music seems to have been lifted from the theme music of the movie 'Life is Beautiful'
ii. The scene in which Eva Mendes starts crying while seeing 'Jerry Maguire' is quite funny. Parallel to this can be seen in 'Sleepless in Seattle' where Meg Ryan starts crying when she sees a romantic movie in TV.
iii. The sequence when Allegra asks Will Smith - whether he taught Albert that she cant whistle or to throw the inhaler before kissing her or to dance in a zany way etc., Will Smith says 'No'.. then she asks 'what did you teach him?' and Will Smith says 'Nothing'. In short this sequences encapsulates the entire-movie.
