TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

novagirl11 When this movie came out, it absolutely set a new standard for romantic comedies! I've seen it probably a hundred times and I still laugh out loud every time. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson were perfect and their chemistry is one of the best I've seen. Although it is romantic and funny, it's not just a chick flick and can be enjoyed by all! I've been quoting lines from this movie for 15 years - it's so easy and never gets old! Also, I love the soundtrack, especially Keith Urban's 'Somebody Like You' and thought the music was all perfectly placed in the appropriate scenes. I really don't think I could ever get sick of this movie!

Funasian2005 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.

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.

Thanos Karagioras "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.
