THE CURE FOR THE COMMON MAN.
Dating consultant Alex Hitchens (Will Smith) takes on his biggest challenge yet at a time when heās also trying to woo a hot gossip columnist (Eva Mendes). A romantic comedy aiming to market Will Smith, which it does very well, but it also gives Kevin James (of King of Queens fame) a chance to make it on the big screen; heās charming and funny as the ādate doctorāsā latest, bumbling client. Unfortunately, the movie delivers only one big laugh (James dancing) and the story doesnāt justify the running time.
