Contents.Plot Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens is a professional 'date doctor' who coaches other men in the art of wooing women, with the main focus of having genuine long-term relationships. He is very successful at what he does. While coaching one of his clients, Albert Brennaman – who is smitten with a client of his investment firm, Allegra Cole – Hitch finds himself falling for Sara Melas. Sara is a gossip columnist and cynical workaholic. While Albert and Allegra's relationship continues to progress, Hitch finds it difficult to initiate a dialogue with Sara, finding that none of his romantic methods work on her.
Throughout the entire process, he keeps his career secret, claiming to be a generic 'consultant'.Hitch meets with Vance Munson , a shallow attempting to enlist Hitch to help him land a one-night stand with Casey Sedgewick , Sara's coworker and best friend. Although Hitch refuses to help, Vance misleads Sara into believing that he has used Hitch's services.
After finding out Hitch's true identity, Sara publishes an, causing Allegra and Albert to break up and Hitch's reputation to suffer. At a cafe that Hitch sneaks into, Sara and Casey confront Hitch and cite Vance as their source. Hitch explains that not only did he refuse to work with him – men like Vance are the reason why women heavily protect themselves – but that same protection also unintentionally makes establishing genuine relationships with good men difficult enough to create a demand for Hitch's services.Hitch then tries to salvage Albert and Allegra's relationship. He confronts Allegra, and realizes that he does not really do anything significant besides giving his clients confidence and allowing them to get the attention of the women they love, and that most of his customers, particularly Albert, really were successful by just being themselves. Allegra reconciles with Albert, and Hitch and Sara repair their relationship. The film ends with Albert and Allegra getting married and Hitch helping Casey find a good man, implying that Hitch is now also helping women.Cast.
