My Thoughts:
This is a film I haven't seen in many years.. And one I enjoyed immensely. While I remembered enjoying it the last time I seen it. It meant more to me this time now that I have a daughter of my own. I could relate much more to Steve Martian's character and I am not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye seeing such love between a father and daughter. Yes, watching this made me think of my own daughter and the love I have for her.

And that's exactly what happens when Albert Brennaman (Kevin James, TV's "The King of Queens") wins the heart of gorgeous society heiress Allegra Cole (supermodel Amber Valletta). So when tabloid columnist Sara Melas (Eva Mendes, Stuck On You, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) decides to uncover the secret behind the tubby schlub's success, she's shocked to discover that Alex Hitchens, the charming young man she's been seeing, is the legendary date doctor himself. Exposed in a front-page scoop, it's now up to Alex to try to save Albert and Allegra's relationship as well as his own. Which only goes to show that just when you think you've found true love, there's always a HITCH.

My Thoughts:
An enjoyable romantic comedy. Will Smith is great as the date doctor. Kevin James is also very fitting as the one needing help getting to date a woman usually out of his league. In my opinion he makes it believable that she could fall in love with him.Otherwise it is standard fare without any surprises along the way.

2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ Doena

Without the government's knowledge, a high-tech mogul has built his very own time machine. But then terrorists steal it to change the past.
And now the government is involved. They send back a three-person team to 1937 to prevent the terrorists from accomplishing their mission.
They send a history professor, a soldier and a black computer engineer.
I'm on the fence with this show. The premise does not have any internal consistency and they're partially self-aware of it by having the black man commenting on it being a bad idea to send someone like him back into any part of American history.
The worst is the time-travel logic which basically does not exist. To explain this you need to have three points of view. Our real world POV A, then the one of the time travelers B1 (bad guys) and B2 (good guys) and the ones left behind C.
The pilot episode revolves around the Hindenberg airship which burned and crashed on May 6, 1937. This is the starting premise for A, B1, B2 and C.
Then the bad guys go into the past. As the end of the pilot episode shows there is no kind of ripple effect as used by Back to Future where changes in the past take a while to have effect on the present. Which means that the moment B1 left for the past, B2 and C (which at that moment are still identical) should already live in the alternate present A' which differs from our A.
But they don't. They know Flynn (the bad guy, played by ERQuantum Leap and Seven Days did it better.
