How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

one of my absolute favorites!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

If you have been exposed to any bad reviews relating to this movie, please forget them all. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a film that includes comedy, conflict, romance, and illustrates the competitive world of business, conveying how far one will go to get something that they want (this being a continuous universal theme throughout the movie.) I'm not saying that you're ridiculous if you don't think this movie is good..but you're ridiculous if you don't think this movie is good. It's definitely not a movie with considerable substance, but is hilarious and romantic, a great movie if you're looking for something comical and light. The dynamic between Kate Hudson and Matthew Mcidkhowtospell is strong and convincing, resulting in not only believable characters, but believable characters who complement each other. 10/10 movie!

Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive and ladies' man who, to win a big campaign, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Andie Anderson covers the "How To" beat for "Composure" magazine and is assigned to write an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." They meet in a bar shortly after the bet is made. Movies like this are a hit or miss for me but this one was actually one movie that i really enjoyed both Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are very charming and have a really good chemistry together, the film is really funny and although it's more of a chick flick as some people said i feel like you will find some great fun with this movie it's pretty sweet, romantic and also really funny and it's not as bad as i thought it was going to be and if you want my opinion make sure you check out The Ugly Truth and The Proposal basically the exact same film and plot but with different actors.

This movie has everything a perfect rom-com needs to have : a slim blonde, a sporty man with six packs, an agenda (actually one on both sides) to move the story, the judgement day (the 10th day) to look forward to, some misunderstanding created by the side characters to stir the things up and then, the epilogue (the 11th day) with the car chase scene, final boy-girl confrontation and the last scene with the camera zooming out on a long and deep kiss. Everything in this movie is tried to be made so perfect that its perfection is what kills me. The irritating behavior of the girl increases so much, that 40 min into the movie, my digestive system gives up. I literally had cramps in my stomach. Her insensitiveness increases exponentially upto the three-fourths of the movie, and then suddenly she gives up to the love of the boy, even when there were two more days to the judgment day (thats because the directors need an emotional scene and a bed scene; and both those requirements are fulfilled by that change of heart, even if it not fits in the storyline). How could anyone watch a movie made with a recipé? Too cliché to watch. Recommended to only those who are the fans of either of the leads or like the cliché itself.

"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is a comedy and romance movie which has to do with a man who is an advertising executive and he bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. On the other side we have a woman who is covering a magazine and she is writing an article on how to lose a guy in 10 days, then they meet each other and our story begins.I liked this movie because I was not expecting much of it and did not let me down on that. We have a simple story and plot, also a simple direction made by Donald Petrie and some nice interpretations by the cast. Especially the interpretation of Matthew McConaughey who plays as Ben Barry our ladies man and Kate Hudson who plays as Andie Anderson our special woman.Finally I have to admit that "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is not a movie which you will leave you speechless or something like that, is a simple movie with a nice story but you have not to expect something more than this.
