Alex Hitchins, played by Will Smith, believes that sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement for men to win over the women of their dreams, and he prides himself on his ability to help them achieve this. His strategy? Just three dates, usually enough to spark love. In a poignant flashback to his college days, we see a younger Alex struggling to fit in; his heart is shattered when the girl he adored is caught kissing another guy.
