Will
Smith’s
foray
into
romantic
comedies
didn’t
quite
go
off
without
a
hitch.

Two
decades
after
the
actor
starred
opposite


Eva
Mendes
in
the
2005
hit

Hitch,
the
film’s
director

Andy
Tennant
revealed
he
didn’t
have
the
smoothest
experience
working
with
his
onscreen
lead.

“We
had
our
difficulties,”
the
filmmaker
said
in
an
interview
with


Business
Insider
published
Feb.
11.
“The
movie
I
wanted
to
make
and
the
movie
Will
wanted
to
make,
neither
one
of
those
movies
is
as
good
as
the
movie
we
made
together.
It
was
a
battle.”

Andy
went
on
to
accuse
the
Oscar
winner
of
trying
to
“back
out”
of
the
project
just
three
days
before
the
start
of
filming
so
he
could
“work
on
it
some
more.”
However,
the
director
commended
Will’s
wife


Jada
Pinkett
Smith
for
allegedly
stepping
in
behind
the
scenes.

“Jada
was
a
big
help,”
he
continued.
“She
kind
of
seconded
some
of
my
instincts.
There
was
a
time
during
prep
when
I
was
pushing
back
on
a
lot
of
crazy
s–t
that
was
happening.”
