A working love coach/therapist provides strategy and advice for men who have problems attracting women. A role reversal takes place role when the client grows in confidence and grace on dates. He becomes successful dating the woman of his dreams. The love coach, however, discovers some love problems of his own.

Plot

A self-styled date therapist, Hitch Hitchens(Will Smith)provides guidance for the guy who can’t score. But he’s not a sex procurer. He’s been around and knows the tricks of the trade. His clients are in love with just one specific woman.

A regular guy, Albert(Kevin James)is enamored with Allegra(Amber Valetta). He’s an accountant, a zero with women, and can’t get to first base with her.

Enter Hitch. He decides to take Albert on as a client. He gives him the tools for success and coaches him every step of the way. Soon, Albert is making real dating progress. He becomes very comfortable talking, relating and even dancing. He can accept his own mistakes.

Meanwhile, Hitch is in a romantic crisis of his own. He meets and is slowly falling for a gossip columnist, Sara(Eva Mendes). Hitch is working hard to avoid love, but is losing the battle. Sara is itching for a story about relationships(she has her own baggage)and Albert is an ideal scoop. Hitch finds himself making mistakes; his own rules aren’t working for him. We discover Hitch has been into heavy love avoidance, and now he’s out of his depth. Hitch is not so perfect, not so cool this time around. Sara has gotten the better of him.

Resolution

Albert is not the CPA nerd, anymore. He’s become smooth, calm, and confident. Ultimately both characters experience an evolution, an arc of personal growth and self acceptance. Hitch has become so such an unraveled love doctor, that he needs to ensure that he heals himself, too.
