Hitch (2005)
A smooth dating coach finds his own romantic playbook hilariously failing with a sharp tabloid reporter.
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.

Hitch has no gore and no real violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is measured, and it is a date-night pick and a comfort watch. The humor runs broad. Rated PG-13.
