The movie Hitch, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendes, is a movie that in my opinion appeals to both the female and the male audience members. Will Smith plays a man who is known for helping other men find love. He gives advice, creates scenarios that shine a positive light on the man looking for love, and ultimately gets paid for being a "matchmaker" of sorts. He is very successful in helping other men find love but did not find love himself. Of course at this point the gorgeous Eva Mendes enters as the obvious love interest (because it is a romantic comedy after all).
Throughout the course of the movie Will Smith grows to be good friends with one of his clients and begins to realize he has feeling for the Eva Mendes character as well. While the audience watches the cringe worthy attempts of Will Smith to gain affection from Eva Mendes, Smith starts to realize his tricks/plans aren't full proof. A person doesn't have to change who they are, pretend to be interested in a certain topic, but just be themselves. That is one of the most important lessons in the movie, being yourself should be good enough for any person. I think that this isn't just a lesson in live but a lesson in life as well, accepting who you are as a person is so important to just being happy. Nobody's perfect and that is ok.
The other lesson taught in the movie is that we’re just human. We need to love and to be loved. each and every one of us. Even when it seems like we don’t want to. Any form of love, from your family, from your friends, and from your significant other. No one wants to be completely alone and if it seems like they do, love them anyway. There is a difference between wanting attention and wanting to be loved. Attention is great but in the end, love is what is ultimately important. The film Hitch does a great job in portraying both lessons while adding comedic relief and a great love story to top it all off.
