Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
flaviabanu Set in New York, "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is a romantic comedy film directed by Donald Petrie. Mde in 2003, the movie is starring Kte Hudson, in a role of a journalist and Matthew McConaughy, in the role of an executive advertiser.The movie is based on a short cartoon book of the same name by Michele Alexander and Jeanne Long. The plot revolves around our main characters, Andie Anderson, who is a writer for a woman's magazine called Composure as the "How to..." girl and Benjamin Berry, the advertising executive for sports. Everything becomes quite gripping once the acting begins. Andie is setting herself a goal for her new article: How To Lose A guy in 10 Days. At the same time, Benjamin makes a bet with his boss, saying that he can make any girl fall in love with him. The riveting party begins really, when the two of them end up together, without knowing about each other's plans. How will everything end? In burning flames. One of the things that I have loved about the acting,or just this movie in general, is that the main characters are absolutely charming together, let aside the fact that both of them are stunning. Although, the romcom does have a few bad sides too.Even though the action is convultet and the whole story is pretty cheesy and light- hearted, the script is a bit too predictable and also, it has a silly premise. That said, I can say from the bottom of my buff heart, that this is one of my favorite movies. Intriguing,epic and full of drama, love and comedy, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days is worth watching.
Davis P This movie is a very cute and well made romantic comedy. This movie well casted as well, Kate Hudson and Matthew are great in this movie, and they also have wonderful chemistry. The script is well written too, and the dialogue between all the characters is well constructed. The romance Is really cute and it's believable because of the great chemistry the leads share. There is also good comedy to be enjoyed here, lots of very amusing lines and scenes. I think If you enjoy a well made romantic comedy with good acting, then this is the one for you. 8/10 for How to lose a guy in 10 days. That's really all there is to it, I strongly recommend how to lose a guy in 10 days.
slightlymad22 Matthew McConaughey is at his charismatic best opposite Kate Hudson in "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" Plot In A Paragraph: BenBarry (Matthew McConaughey) is an advertising executive who bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Andie (Kate Hudson) works for "Composure" magazine and is assigned to write an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." They meet in a bar and the game is on. I loved this movie, making it one of my favourite romantic comedies of all time. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson make an attractive an engaging couple. Hudson proves herself to be as fun as her mother (actress Goldie Hawn) And the plot is a fun one. All the supporting cast are solid, and there are some genuine funny moments.
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.
