It was weird watching it for the first time given its status, I was expecting some arthouse film that was boring as hell most of the time.
The interesting thing though is that you look at a lot of old Hitch**** films, like Vertigo and Psycho and they weren't exactly well recieved in the day. Vertigo split a lot of opinions. Nowadays though, its considered one of the greatest films of all time. You sorta wonder if its about harking back on a loved director and seeing their work in a better light than its initial release. Obviously its a good movie though, just interesting comparison.
