It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I was quite entertained with this movie especially after so many disappointments lately.Everyone should give this movie a chance. I can guarantee that you won;t be disappointed if you don't set your expectations too high.It;s very written and directly. I was guessing along the movie what;s going to happen next. There wasn't a boring moment in the movie.To all the haters , why all the hate. i don;t understand why would anyone hate this movie.Kudos to the director and writer. I would be watching Ms. Congenialty next.
"Andie Anderson" (Kate Hudson) is a journalist for a magazine that basically caters to a female audience. One day while helping her friend overcome a recent breakup she comes up with the idea for an article that focuses on certain mistakes some women make while dating that effectively destroy intimacy. To that end, she proposes to begin dating a complete stranger and in the process use certain tactics which are sure to cause the man to abruptly end their relationship within 10 days—and then write an article detailing everything. However, as luck would have it, she selects a man named "Ben Barry" (Matthew McConaughey) who just happens to have a bet with his boss that he can pick up woman up at random and in 10 days have her fall madly in love with him. The end result is that no matter how hard she tries he resists all of her efforts to get him to break up with her. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, despite a decent effort by everyone involved, the film itself ultimately ended up as a routine and predictable rom-com and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
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!
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.
