Most men have difficulty finding love because it's hard to be yourself when your "self" thinks you should be someone else. That's where Hitch comes in. As a tactical adviser who specializes in first impressions - he customizes and orchestrates a client's first three dates - Hitch has been secretly responsible for hundreds of New York City weddings. Eva Mendes co-stars as Sara, a gossip reporter for a daily tabloid who, after a chance meeting with Hitch, finds her professional life and personal life on a collision course. She makes Hitch re-evaluate his game and teaches him that love is not a feeling, it's an action.
