How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

I am afraid this is the kind of movie that someone might admit is quite enjoyable and sweet-funny, most likely appreciate the excellent chemistry of the 2 stars, might even agree with most of the "ways to lose or win someone in 10 days" - but will find hard to give it a good 7 stars because it "feels light" or "lacks depth", and so they give it a "nice - 6" which feels patronizing for this type of movies & the stars and creators. If you are one of those who believe that not necessarily everything we watch has to be sophisticated, or mentally and intellectually stimulating, then you will probably appreciate this movie for it's kind as one of the best out there, it is actually time well spent just like other shows like "Friends" feel like.

I recommend this movie to anyone who not only likes movies as art or stories, but also enjoys the process of watching one.

'How to...' columnist for composure magazine, Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) agrees to write a first-hand account about what it takes to drive a man out of your life in just 10 days. Eligible bachelor Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) accepts a high-stakes bet that he can lure any woman into falling in love with him...also in 10 days.

With the couple consistently tying to deceive one another, this turns out to be a pretty funny ride, and the chemistry between Hudson and McConaughey is excellent, which does help to hide the lack of depth in the story.

I've seen better, but it's entertaining enough 6/10

This movie has existed since 2003 and I watched it in 2021? Boy am I late for the party.

It's the perfect chick-flick! It's romantic, heartwarming, sappy, and has a happy ending! What more does a girl want? Oh, and it's also funny like I actually laughed at certain parts, not just a chuckle. While Kate Hudson is a darling, I kept swooning over young Mathew McConaughey, they just fit their roles perfectly and the chemistry, you can definitely feel it. That trailer does no justice to what's in store. Obviously, it is predictable, it's a chick-flick, but it's a swoop me off my feet and let me fall in love with them kind of movie! (Why don't they make them like this anymore?) And never did I imagine anybody could pull off a yellow dress this well. To so many bad reviews, I'd use the movie's dialogue - Bulls**t.

This is the Rom-Com you deserve, it's got great acting, slapstick comedy and 18 years later is still worth every minute.

I don't want to keep you long, trust me, go watch it.

There are no words to describe this movie. I found it hillarious and heartwarming. The two principle actors were great as their roles as Ben and Andie. Kate Hudson was great at driving Ben nuts. I laughed for days.

I loved the soundtrack too. It had classics and modern day classics.

I feel this movie will go down as a classic with such films as Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing.

The fact is, I had not intended to see this movie - ever. I had not heard good things. But my wife saw it, and liked it. One evening she caught me in a mellow mood and I watched it with her.

To say it is contrived is an understatement. To say it is generally predictable is to state the obvious. It is a piece of fluff romantic comedy familiar to viewers of old movies. But there are a lot of people who LIKE fluff, and frankly, I think we will probably watch it again some day.

The writing was occasionally witty, often funny, and sometime knee-slappingly hilarious, without degenerating into the completely silly. The chemistry between Kate and Matthew was great, and their performances were what made this movie rise above the mediocre.

Don't waste your time with this movie if you insist on depth or insight into universal truths - it ain't happenin'. But if you want a good time with a charming flick, you could do worse.
