yea boiiiiiiiiii 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!
SnoopyStyle Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) writes fluff for Composure magazine and longs for more substantive articles. She has a work friend Jeannie (Annie Parisse). Her other flustered friend Michelle Rueben (Kathryn Hahn) is the inspiration for a new article for her boss Lana Jong (Bebe Neuwirth) 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) is an advertising executive competing with co-workers Judy Spears (Michael Michele) and Judy Green (Shalom Harlow) for the right to pitch the biggest diamond merchant. Spears and Green know about the article. They come up with a contest to have Benjamin seduce Andie in 10 days for the right from their boss Phillip Warren (Robert Klein) to do the pitch.The problem for this rom-com is that both parties are faking it. It makes it hard to decipher any real chemistry in the relationship. It's not until Andie meets the family does the romance starts. It's a very late start. They are good at their jobs and pull it off. However there is a real need for both of them to sacrifice something to push the romance over the top. The comedy part has some good points. The problem there is that it feels very one directional. It's all about Andie annoying Ben. It would be better if Ben actually had a deeper game. He's very superficial. He needs the girl but it seems like he's just not bringing the whole playbook. He needs to show that he's really trying rather than passively taking it from Andie. It's an attempt at something different than the traditional rom-com but it's not all together successful.
Tantrum1701 In this movie men can recognize the, sometimes horrible, female logic and women see men stumbling through a relationship trying to understand and please their woman. The lead characters have the necessary chemistry, the story is good and so is the acting. Although somewhat predictable, a lot of situations made me really laugh, particularly where Andie leaves and Ben goes after her, suggesting the couples therapy. I enjoyed the movie, surprisingly. It definitely deserves to be called a romantic comedy. And a must see for people who want a funny little insight into a man/woman relationship. I sure want to recommend it.
g-bodyl How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a pretty good, charming romantic comedy even though it's very predictable and plays it safe. I could see the ending from miles away but it's how the movie plays to the ending that affects whether this film is watchable or not. For the most part, it does work thanks to the charming leads of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.Donald Petrie's film is basically a film about the battle of the sexes. The girl works for Cosmopolitan magazine and the guy works at a sports agency and they both hook up with each other despite each person is lying to the other.The acting is pretty good especially with the kind of script they have been given. McConaughey is always charming and does a good job while Hudson is actually likable for once and is remotely interesting.Overall, this is a good but very predictable rom com. It doesn't being anything new to the table but it's still enjoyable. A predictable script that should have been a wasted opportunity brings a new light with this movie. I rate this film 8/10.
