In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It's a movie where the main characters are confident successful people who fall in love with each other. The characters are people who who have NEVER known : alienation, loneliness, injustice, or mental illness. The characters are people who have never been called a weirdo, fatty, ugly, nerd, queer. Who is this movie for? Who are the awful flawless well- adjusted people this movie was made for? There is nothing wrong with shallow people who have never examined their lives to find one another and have a perfect shallow unexamined romantic relationship--that said, who f*cking cares about people like that? That's like the Yankees playing the Cardinals in the World's Series, who f*cking cares?

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.

This movie was sweet and funny, and I had a pleasant time watching it. Kate Hudson portrayed the role of a dynamic young woman,who is willing to do everything for her career, successfully. Matthew McConaughey was a sexy womanizer, who despite the weird situations that Andie (Kate) put him through, he did not gave up on his scope. The topic was pretty interesting, considering the project Andie had to do, and I can truthfully say that us,women, surely did learn something from her "experiments" on Ben (Matthew). In conclusion, although I have seen "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days" many times, I would definitely watch it again and I hope you do, too!

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.
