Unhitched Reviews:
Outstanding, but why? 
2007-07-12 - I guess the writer need this person to add color to the moive. The Lawyer was the Worst person in the story. Remove him and the movie is great to watch.
good feel good movie 
2007-02-25 - Well I thought I could be in danger buying this movie within the first 5 mins of viewing(the main reason for buying this was I am a big fan of Amy Smart) . However it turned out to be quite a funny movie a real no thinker.... chill out movie to watch with your partner. Very Different but very nice.
"I Thought He Meant Funny Ha-Ha" ~ Overcoming Writer's Block And Reclaiming Your Inspiration
2007-02-21 - Synopsis: Olly (Stuart Townsend) is a struggling young writer suffering from a severe case of writers block. Frustrated by his lose of creativity he loses confidence in other aspects of his life as well and becomes somewhat of a loner. That is until he is unexpectedly contacted by his best friend from his college days who asks him to be the best man at his upcoming wedding. Olly reluctantly accepts, but when he finally meets Sarah (Amy Smart), the bride-to-be, he finds himself in a further quandary. He has unintentionally fallen madly in love with his best friends wife.
The newly released '06 film `Unhitched' is a totally original romantic comedy containing an ingenious, highly original storyline unlike anything else that's ever graced the movie screen. Where do these great ideas come from, a love triangle between bride, groom and best man! That's never been done before...., OK it has been done and there's nothing new and original in this little unpretentious film. It is however an entertaining and enjoyable watch with a likeable cast that will bring you back for a repeat viewing or two if you like this genre of film. Seth Green is particularly good as Murray, Olly's childhood friend and current roommate.
My Rating: 3 1/2 Stars
Very mediocre movie 
2007-02-15 - I was looking forward to seing this movie since it had a great cast. Amy Smart, Seth Green and the very handsome and sexy Stewart Townsend are capable of delivering great stuff. However there was not much they could do with such a boring and unispired script. Another cookie cutter romantic comedy with little substance. It seems Hollywood is churning these out a dime a dozen these days. I love romantic comedies. But so many of these kinds of movies now are just cliche and predictable stories. What a shame, as these actors could have done wonders with a little better material. Despite this, Seth Green manages to handle the comedic aspect of the film very well. And the male lead is excellent eye candy. That pretty much sums up my two stars.
'And may the best man win...'
2007-02-05 - UNHITCHED is a fairly well made, generic Hollywood love story that provides a reasonably entertaining evening because of the actors cast in the roles. The story by director Stefan Schwartz and Ed Roe is recycled fluff with nothing new added, yet despite that fact the pacing and acting bring off a fun little film.
As marriage enters the agenda of old friends, promiscuous James (Steve John Shepherd) is scheduled to marry Sarah (Amy Smart, always a pleasure to watch) and asks his best friend Olly (the talented and hunky Irishman Stuart Townsend in a very nice comedic turn) to be his Best Man. Olly, a writer whose first chapters have been lauded by his publisher (Simon Callow) and that early praise has thrown him into writer's block forcing him to take a menial job as a PA under grumpy feminist Tania (Johdi May), fears accepting the role of Best Man out of the challenge tied to writing the wedding reception speech. He is encouraged not to accept the role by his roommate friend Murray (5'4" Seth Green, who has many comedy roles to his credit - this one being the first with a fine British accent). Murray knows of James' peppered past and sets out to stop the wedding - especially when he discovers that Olly has fallen for Sarah, mistaking her for Sarah's Maid of Honor Becka (Kate Ashfield).
Olly is a true friend and will sacrifice his longing for Sarah out of his loyalty to James - until Murray proves that James indeed is a promiscuous lothario. And the chase, with many a pratfall, begins as Olly ultimately sides with Murray to prevent his losing Sarah.
Townsend makes a fine turn out of his obvious role, proving that he not only can master dramatic and intrigue roles, but light comedy ones as well. Seth Green may be small but he is a powerhouse of physical comedic talent. Amy Smart doesn't have much to do, but when she is on screen she glows with intelligence as well as beauty. It is the cast that makes this film work and they are enough of a pleasure to watch to merit sitting through another re-telling of a tired story. Grady Harp, February 07
