Hitch

This is probably our favorite movie as a couple. We saw it in the theater for Valentine's Day when we were engaged and again on our honeymoon. Since then I don't know how many times we've watched it and we still laugh every time he accidentally kicks her in the head as he's trying to get on her jet ski! This movie makes us smile from beginning to end and we're still smiling as the credits roll.

So, why do we like it? It's partly sentimental: it hit the perfect nerve at the perfect time. But it's also extremely well acted, the characters are real, and we love Albert! Alex Hitchins is full of quotables like, "Begin each day as if it were on purpose," and "Any man can sweep any woman off her feet. All he needs is the right broom."

Higher class than your average slapstick romantic comedy, the humor of this movie is in the punchy dialogue and the romance is rooted firmly in reality. Another point we appreciate is that there are no bedroom scenes, though there are some set in a bar where there's some verbal innuendo.
