Not one of Hitch's very best, but I always found it to be a fun one. It's hard to hate Cary Grant or Grace Kelly separately, and together they're just magnificent.

Also, I requested that Dalek made this talkback since along with the Universal Centennial ones we're doing, we should also have some up for Paramount, since they're sharing the same anniversary. They recently pulled out a Blu-Ray of this a couple of weeks ago, so I figured why not go with it.
