The city authorities have been incredibly supportive of this initiative and share our excitement. It will be an extraordinary event and a great day for the people of Manchester. "Staging three premieres in one day in three different cities, with a major Hollywood star attending each event, has never been done before and is set to make premiere history." In the film Smith plays Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, a legendary New York City "date doctor" who, for a fee, helps countless men woo the women of their dreams.

Jazzy Julie Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 yeah even if he just walks past and i have to yell at him its worth it, im hoping he will sign somethin for me. Lunchtime on a weekday there cant be that many ppl there for him to sign stuff so he has to come to me right? I still cant believe hes coming an hour away from my house, this has gotta be the closest he has ever been and im going. Ive still gotta book the day off at work but if they dont let me im quitting. Doesnt jonny live in the north too, he could go aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
