In New York, Alex Hitchen is a kind of sentimental advisor, teaching each client how to date the woman of his dream. His present case is helping the clumsy Albert to date the wealthy and powerful Allegra Cole. Meanwhile, Hitch has a crush on the gossip columnist Sara, who was assigned to write about Allegra. When the best girlfriend of Sara has a love disillusion with a man that Sara thinks that is a client of Hitch, she plots a revenge against Hitch and the misunderstanding leads the two couples to a conflictive situation.

The fire station shown at the beginning of the film as Hitch is coaching a client is Hook and Ladder #8, the firehouse used in Ghost Busters (1984).

Hitch:
Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.

Continuity: When Allegra boards her yacht, she removes her shoes and walks up a boarding ramp. After her short conversation with Hitch, Albert steps up onto the deck before attacking Hitch. When Hitch leaves the yacht minutes later, he has to step up to disembark and the boarding ramp is un-attached and lying flat on the dock. For the amount of real time involved, any tide change would be negligible, the boarding ramp would still be in place, and Hitch would walk down it to get on the dock.
