Movies that feel likeHitch (2005)

Dating coach Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens mentors a bumbling client, Albert, who hopes to win the heart of the glamorous Allegra Cole. While Albert makes progress, Hitch faces his own romantic setbacks when proven techniques fail to work on Sara Melas, a tabloid reporter digging for dirt on Allegra Cole's love life. When Sara discovers Hitch's connection to Albert – now Allegra's boyfriend – it threatens to destroy both relationships.

If you loved Hitch, the closest films we have are Jab We Met (2007), Barfi! (2012) and The Proposal (2009). All three share Hitch's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (2006).
