Como Perder um Homem em 10 Dias

Kate Hudson (one of a handful of women on the planet that can pull off a yellow dress ) shines in this adapted Taming of the Shrew with her brilliant comedic timing. There are some real belly laughs in the first half of the film when she goes over the top to make herself dumpworthy. Matthew McConaughey is also very good and comedy is definitely one of his strengths. Bebe is terrific.

I totally agree with other user's reviews. This is a generic romantic comedy, which follows the formula to a T. The directing is nothing noteworthy (including the now-standard body-shots of Matthew to titilate the younger female audience - a very powerful buying crowd). Plot is again standard romantic comedy fare.

I also agree that what sets this movie apart is not the plot...it is the actor's interaction with each other. Having seen this gem, I would not hesitate to go to another movie with these two. They alternatively leave you grimacing in discomfort at the obvious ridiculity of the situation, to laughing so hard your sides hurt. Both actors are excellent with body gestures and 'non-verbal language' to show their feelings. You become totally absorbed with the two characters...I can't recall any of the other actors in the movie, thinking back on it.

Too bad they don't give Oscars for anything other than 'serious' acting.

Kate and Matthew, take a bow. This was a great performance, and lightened my day.

'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

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.

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.
