I love how this scene reveals how Hitch truly works: he’s not trying to change men in order to get with the women they love, he’s trying to make them confident. Allegra became attracted to Albert because of his mannerisms
Just for clarification, he IS trying to change them, but only in minor areas. That's the realization he's having here: He was trying to get Albert out of his dorky self, only to realize it's our quirks and idiosyncrasies that make people fall in love with us. It's Albert and Allegra both being so dorky and quirky that makes them perfect for each other, but it was his idiosyncrasies and flaws that he thought were responsible for the dissolution of his first love. Not saying you're wrong of course, but the whole "That worked for you?" line is THE realization that he was turning Albert away from his true self, and in turn pushing him farther away from his goal of snagging Allegra. It's lucky Albert's true self couldn't be kept down anyway, as he still danced like a dingus, was organically kind to Allegra as opposed to aloof, and was all around just a nice dude.
People failed to understand that Hitch's main job was to get the person in through the door first (as in getting noticed) as most guys fail in this aspect. He doesn't really do much afterwards to be honest.
The best way to do that is to be a dick to her, because she’s used to being simped on. Once you’ve got her attention, maybe let it slide that you *might* be into her
Funny how when Alegra comes looking for Albert at his office, Hitch is choking Albert. Albert comes looking for Alegra in the yacht, and Albert is choking Hitch. 😂😂😂😂
I’m 49 and started dating a wonderful woman about a month ago. She is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, it’s the best feeling ever. I’m so in love 🥰
I love when he made her realize that she would have never noticed him if he didn't hadn't taken his initial advice, the guys he helped just needed a chance.
@@BourneKnightyou obviously didn’t watch the movie so I’ll break it down for you. Hitch’s job is to give guys like Albert advice to boost their confidence when it comes to dating. He helps men that most women wouldn’t give a second look at. Albert worked for a firm that Allegra is a big client at and he asked hitch to help him show that he can be the guy for her. Allegra is famous so for her to date a guy like that is like matching Catherine Zeta Jones with Mr. Bean which seemed impossible. But because Hitch gave him that advice he was able to get over the hump and be his normal self which she liked. In the movie, hitch was discovered to be the date doctor and due to bad information people assumed he was a guy who only helped men get women into bed to score when all he does is show women that they should break out of their own way to give guys like Albert a chance to make them happy.
Let's be honest, there's no way in hell she would have noticed him in the first place. All he does is give men a fighting chance, yet the heroine wants to call it manipulation. What he does is the equivalent of studying for a test before it's taken. That's not manipulation or cheating. It's called being smart, otherwise you wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell.
Sara didn't care about it until Casey got hurt by Vance. Him saying, "Date Doctor, my ass.." set off most of the destruction. Before that, to Sara, The Date Doctor was an urban myth
The information he got on Allegra is something anyone could get from a quick Google search and some passing observations. I usually don’t go on dates before checking out a person’s social media first. I want to get a feel for that person so the conversations aren’t as awkward and forced.
J Par lol but a dude hitting on you in a lingerie shop just screams he’s single 🤦🏾♂️ she told her what he was doing and she fell for it and didn’t take responsibility
@@ObiWanShinobi_ you're not wrong, but I'm saying that none of the actions between Allegra, Albert, and The Date Doctor mattered to Sara, until the situation between Vance and Casey transpired. As soon as Vance muttered those words, The Date Doctor became real to Casey and Sara. Before that Sara and Casey were joking about him, with Sara calling The Date Doctor an urban myth Pretty much, I agree with the commenter's point that Hitch wasn't doing anything wrong, and adding in that Sara didn't bother to care about The Date Doctor or his methods, because to her, he was a myth. That is, until Casey got caught up
It’s funny cause I have a cousin who dances like Albert He’s also a fat dude as well But he attracts people EASILY and is honestly one of the most loved people I know. And I honestly know it’s because of him just having confidence As dorky as he looks all the time. EVERYONE Loves him
You need to listen to that part of the screen scene again.. She said "back in boarding school she didn't know how to whistle".. Don't know if you have seen the movie but Albert had taught her how to whistle when they went to the basketball game on a date.
People fail to realize that hitch's main job was to practice slap Albert a few times in this movie just so he can slap the shit out Chris rock at the Oscars
As far as I could tell from what we saw in the movie, all Hitch gave guys was two things they might not have otherwise... an opportunity to get noticed, and the confidence to use that opportunity. That is usually the hardest part for us guys to get right. You and the girl could be soulmates, but if that initial connection is missed, none of it matters.
Well actually Hitch did a thing for Albert: he created an oportunity as a good consulter... Then Albert manages to do his own stuff (naturally)... And get Allegra to be interest Life Is beatiful than that... But we always need a little push
They had already established that he got Ellegra to notice Albert, the rest was pure Albert. The stuff they mentioned not to mention the 'eggnog' and shooting him down, thats gotta be one of best Albert bits.
The Allegra/Albert romance was the best part of this movie, much better than Will Smith/Eva Mendez. She had more chemistry with Will Ferrell on The Other Guys honestly.
This part always makes me cry because call me crazy but I've always dated men that people thought where not so attractive and I've even been made fun of by friends when I was younger for dating what people call ugly guys. When I was a little girl it sounds funny but I was in love with the beast from beauty and the beast and as a little girl I was upset when he changed into the prince 😂😂 I look at what's inside always I've never dated extremely attractive men because I simply don't notice them. So this part always makes me cry I love seeing the average or even unattractive man get the beautiful girl. 😊😊
That scene did not age well. In real life, if an insecure guy were to attack his friend in a fit of jealousy, you bet the woman would dump him on the spot for being abusive and controlling instead of confessing her love and kissing him.
@@hinkhall5291 Of course how else do i bring my point across so a small minded person like yourself understand? Would you like me to say OBESE or ANOREXIC? Would that make you feel better sweetie?
This show explains to incels that you create your own opportunities and stop listening to these sexist, so called experts. They have NO IDEA what they are talking about. Jsut have a little bit of courage and work on becoming the kind of person women wan to date.

Shame that i can't watch any movie with Will Smith in it without feeling physically ill. I lost all respect for him as an actor and as a person,threw away all my dvd and blueray of any movie he was in and swore i would never watch anything more that would have him in it. This is only time i haven't been able to separate the actor from the real person,that is how much i hate him for what hey did to Chris Rock.
The main message I felt that this movie gave was that it's far better to be yourself than to try and put on a facade for the purpose of getting others to like or notice you. Your true colors always win out.
@@shinistrue definitely. And also that's a second key point the movie touched on. The privileged and wealthy rarely look towards someone they consider below themselves when in the end, we're all human. If people looked inwards into someone's heart then maybe stories like these wouldn't be so fictional.
@@eaglefang8656 Well, Good for you but hopefully the repercussions aren't bad, your girlfriend or wife might die after 5 years or something, because the devil doesn't play fair, I'll tell you that. Hahhaha
What about women? How can we sweep a man off his feet who doesn't even know we exist? I wish someone would make a movie that shows girls how to impress guys.
@Gazzara5 it never specifies what it is that the man does to do the sweeping. There are many ways to attract people, and I for one believes everyone has a chance with anyone, looks just make it easier
I have to say that it kind of bothers me that a lot of people who saw this film are commenting how Kevin James's character Albert called Will Smith's character Hitch out on his B.S. I really didn't see it that way. True… Albert was right to an extent when he called Hitch a coward for being too afraid to follow his own heart and love someone. However, I truly believe that Hitch wanted to help others find love and had good intentions in doing so. He was just so doubtful for himself that for the longest time he just gave up any hope of love and happiness.
+Livingston Hampton Oh yeah agreed, the same way I didn't think he really needed to apologize to Mendez's character the way he did. I did not like her at all, and for the life of me, I could not really figure out why he did. I think Hitch was just extremely guarded and wanted to help those he felt wouldn't otherwise have a chance.
he just fell in love with her. if you're desperate to love that one girl then you do foolish things..and mendezs character liked and also loved hitch earlier but she was way too cocky to admit it to herself. The only thing that I don't get about the movie is the very beginning and very end, when hitch says that the basic principals are that a woman doesnt wake up saying 'god I hope I don't get swept off my feet today' which is true and that they lie when the don't want to date you right.. and in the end he says basic principals: there are none. So basically I think that it just teaches you to love whoever you wanna love and in the end you'll hopefully get your love.
Sometimes you're good helping other people with they're purposes in life about love but sometimes you can't find love yourself and maybe you was hurt for love and that's why maybe just maybe you doing your job but also helping guys without opportunity get their love of theirs life.
Allegra and Albert have to be one of my favorite movie couples even though this is just a little rom com from the early 2000s. I like the fact in this scene that when Hitch asks her if she would have noticed Albert on her own, she realizes she wouldn’t have and then learns the stuff she liked most about Albert wasn’t some act or play. Makes both her and Albert likable individually as well as a couple.
