Daisy Ridley is about to join forces with another Star Wars alum in a new romance film. While fans are waiting to see Ridley return as Rey in her new Star Wars movie that keeps getting delayed, the actress has certainly stayed busy with films like Magpie, The Young Woman and the Sea, Cleaner, and We Bury the Dead. It seems like she has landed a new project while her Star Wars continuation gets off the ground, and she will share the screen with young Han Solo himself, Alden Ehrenreich.
Deadline reports that Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) and Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) are starring in the Philippines-set romantic comedy The Last Resort. The Last Resort has assembled an early 2000s dream team for romantic comedy fans, as it will be directed by Donald Petrie, best known for directing Miss Congeniality and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Timeless rom-coms don’t come frequently, requiring a level of chemistry that simply cannot be faked. However, when they do, they leave an impact that lasts decades. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was one such film, predominantly because of the dynamic that Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey shared.

When a couple has chemistry as good as Andie and Ben had in the 2003 classic, fans are forced to wonder if the lead stars actually share a similar connection in real life. While most actors are simply just really good at what they do, sometimes lines can blur and feelings are caught.
With this, the question arises—what happened between Hudson and McConaughey in real life?

Matthew McConaughey may be best known for his Oscar-winning turn in Dallas Buyers’ Club, his excellent work on Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, or his immensely likable appearances in a slew of 2000s romcoms such as How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days. However, one of his earliest roles shows his depth and range unlike any other: just five months after his work opposite Jodie Foster in Robert Zemeckis’ sci-fi drama Contact, he appeared in Steven Spielberg’s 1997 historical drama Amistad. Here’s why it’s an unmissable performance.

Kate Hudson may have a myriad of roles on her résumé but her romantic comedies led her to be called a “rom-com queen.” However, she is opening up about why she wasn’t sure how she felt about that label.
While appearing on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, the Running Point star says she has a “mixed feeling” when looking back at the success of her rom-coms and being typecast in those roles.
“It’s a mixed feeling because…now that I’m older, I love it,” Hudson said. “I think what happens when you have a very successful rom-com, it sort of becomes what people expect from you and want from you, and as an actor you’re sort of like, ‘Yeah, but I want to do a million different things.'”

Spoiler Warning: This story discusses plot details from the Netflix series “Running Point,” which is now streaming.
Kate Hudson has always been a sports fan, and growing up between California and Colorado meant cheering for the Denver Broncos, the Los Angeles Kings and, of course, the L.A. Lakers. As a teenager, Hudson would go to Kings games with her parents, who introduced her to Jeanie Buss, the then 30-something executive who managed the Forum, where the hockey team played.
“Kate would just, like, shadow me,” Buss recalls. “I’d take her around the building give her a tour, explain what the Forum Club was, and how we operated the tickets and the box office.”
Hudson, sitting next to her, jumps in eagerly: “I was also a little naughty, so I would like to sneak into places. Jeanie kept me… she was like ‘You stay here.’”

Not every movie needs to be Citizen Kane. Sometimes audiences need something light and fluffy so they can forget their worries and just come out of the theater with a smile. That's the statement Kate Hudson has made in defense of her romantic comedy run, which may have generated solid box office but was met with less than favorable reactions from critics. In defending her rom-com run, Hudson wants to remind critics that they weren't trying to win awards.
During a chat with Entertainment Weekly, Hudson spoke about the negative reviews some of her romantic comedies endured despite them being more warmly received by moviegoers. Films such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (42 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) and the trifecta of Fools Gold, Bride Wars and Something Borrowed (15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) became a staple of Hudson's career...despite the displeasure some critics had watching them.

Kate Hudson was embarrassed when she didn’t recognize two key songs from her best-known movies on Thursday in the latest edition of Kelly Clarkson’s name-that-song game “Throw Me a Line.”
The actress and singer, who next stars in the Netflix series “Running Point,” was late to identify “You’re So Vain,” which she sang in the the 2003 romcom “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” which was pivotal to Cameron Crowe’s 2000 rock ‘n’ roll dramedy “Almost Famous.”
“Oh my god!” Hudson exclaimed when she realized she’s missed “Tiny Dancer.”
“That’s like the most famous scene in the movie and you f–ked it up!” Clarkson gloated, pointing in her face.

Kate Hudson is an icon of the romantic-comedy genre, but her movies weren’t exactly embraced by film critics. “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” has a 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, for instance. Then there’s “Fools Gold,” “Bride Wars” and “Something Borrowed,” all of which have Rotten Tomatoes scores of 15% or below. Roger Ebert infamously wrote in his “How to Lose a Guy” review that he wished to place Hudson and co-star Matthew McConaughey in the “witness protection program” because of how bad he thought the movie was.
“If I were taken off the movie beat and assigned to cover the interior design of bowling alleys, I would have some idea of how they must have felt as they made this film,” Ebert added.

Make some way for Netflix! The streaming service is dribbling down the court and shooting nothing but straight buckets with its latest original comedy series. Kate Hudson might be best known for her romantic comedies on the big screen, but the Oscar-nominated movie star is tackling her first leading role in a comedy series with Netflix's new sitcom Running Point.
She's not the only big name attached to the series. There are plenty more familiar faces in the main and supporting cast, but behind the scene, there's an even bigger name. None other than The Office and The Mindy Project (not to mention Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls) mastermind Mindy Kaling co-created the series, which she also writes and executive produces.

Many actors have reflected on the big roles they lost, whether due to scheduling or different reasons. Kate Hudson is the latest one to jump with her own story for a film she would've been perfect for.
The Oscar-nominated actress has had a series of iconic roles, but proved she was one of the most beloved rom-com actresses thanks to roles in 2003's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 2011's A Little Bit Like Heaven, Something Borrowed, and many others. Her impressive rom-com resume could've been even more impressive with one cult classic. In a new appearance on the Capital Breakfast radio show (via Entertainment Weekly), Hudson opened up about losing the lead character role in 2006's The Devil Wears Prada.

Speaking on Capital FM, she shared that she was originally approached to play Andy Sachs, the assistant to a high-profile fashion editor, a role that later went to Anne Hathaway.
“That was a bad call. And it was like a timing thing,” Hudson said. “It was one of those things where I couldn’t do it, and I should’ve made it happen, and I didn’t.”
She recalled watching the film and realizing she had missed out. “That was one where when I saw it I was like, ugh. But again, everything happens for a reason. That was a real like, ‘I should’ve made that work.’”

Two years ago, Brenda Song found herself in a professional stalemate. She’d been acting steadily since age 6 — her first big break was on the Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody — and though she’d successfully pivoted into more mature roles (like the Hulu series Dollface), something didn’t feel right.
After having two children back-to-back, she felt lost trying to find her place as a working mom and, for the first time, was considering a life outside of Hollywood. “I felt like the universe was constantly telling me to just go be a mom,” she says. “I said to my partner [Macaulay Culkin], ‘If the best years are behind me, I’m Ok with that because I’ve had these amazing adventures.’ And he was like, ‘Are you crazy?’ “

The latter is true for Prime Video's newest number-one rom-com, starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell.

Paula Weinstein and Lynda Obst were honored for their groundbreaking work in empowering women in entertainment. Fonda, who worked closely with Weinstein, shared powerful insights into the producer’s transformative career.

Jane Fonda and Kate Hudson presented the Producers Guild of America Trailblazer Awards to posthumous recipients Paula Weinstein and Lynda Obst. Fonda worked with Weinstein on the films 9 to 5 and Monster-in-Law and the TV series Grace and Frankie. Having made her first film in 1958, Fonda said it was lonely until women made headways in the ‘70s through the feminist movement and in Hollywood.
For Monster-in-Law, Fonda’s first film after 15 years, Fonda remembered Weinstein saving the film after a poor test screening.
“Paula totally saved it by geting Carrie Fisher to rewrite the ending and hiring Elaine Stritch to play my mother,” Fonda said. “Paula knew funny.”
Fonda said Weinstein’s legacy beyond her films would be the hundreds of women she mentored, as evidenced by Weinstein’s memorial after she died March 25.
“We asked anybody who was mentored by Paula to come stand with us on stage,” Fonda said.

With Valentine’s season finally here, the urge to watch rom-coms of the past and present is more prevalent than ever. Watching two people fall in love over the course of an hour and a half despite the wacky hijinks and shenanigans that get thrown their way offers a charming and romantic experience for audiences. Love stories have always been an important and beloved part of pop culture and media, but arguably no decade was better for the genre than the late 1990s and early 2000s.
From How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to 13 Going on 30 to The Wedding Planner, that era produced beloved classics that still get referenced and watched in 2025. One classic 1999 film was not only the strongest of that era, but continued to be cherished by rom-com fans all the way through the modern day. 10 Things I Hate About You became a genre-defining classic thanks to...

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson’s 2008 rom-com/treasure hunt movie Fool's Gold is pulling a decent audience on its new streaming home of Tubi, but that doesn’t detract from the complete disappointment the movie was on its original release. While the movie’s big name leads, who were joined by the late Donald Sutherland, managed to save the film from being a complete disaster at the box office, they could not save it from some terrible reviews.
The tropical, sun-drenched movie sees McConaughey playing Ben “Finn” Finnegan, a treasure hunter obsessed with finding the sunken Spanish galleon, the Aurelia, and its almost mythical cargo known as the Queen’s Dowry, so much so that it ruined his marriage. However, when he finds a new clue to the whereabouts of the treasure, Finn enlists the help of his former wife (Hudson), and billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Sutherland) to go off across the seas to locate it,...

Throughout the 2000s, very few actors saw the same success as Matthew McConaughey in the romantic comedy genre. After his breakout role in Dazed and Confused in 1993, McConaughey's unmatched energy and charisma on-screen made him the ideal choice for the lead role in some of the most successful rom-coms at a time when the genre was arguably in its golden age. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Wedding Planner stand out as his best work in the genre, but as he continued to star in this style of film, he felt that there was nothing left to give and decided a change was desperately needed for his career moving forward.

Romantic comedy films, also known as rom-coms, are some of the most popular and beloved. From movies like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to memorable classics like When Harry Met Sally, the rom-com genre has given audiences some of the best movies. While some might feel rom-coms are too formulaic and predictable, others enjoy them for these very reasons. Rom-coms are the perfect comfort movies for when viewers want to have a good time, knowing everything's going to end well.
The rom-com genre, for many, peaked during the early 2000s. Films like Love Actually, 50 First Dates, and 13 Going On 30 have stood the test of time and remain as popular as when they first debuted almost twenty years ago. And while some believe the rom-com genre has gone away, the 2020s proved to audiences that romantic comedies are coming back stronger than ever. From modern...

In real life, the ideal situation is that you meet someone that you, you know, like right off the bat. After all, life is short, and hoping that someone you hate will miraculously turn into someone you love feels like a lot of work when you could just focus your attention on finding a person you get along with in the first place. But that's the real world. In movies, there's something special about the idea of two people who seemingly can't stand one another gradually coming to realize that they can't live without each other.
Often, their fiery encounters are simply an outlet for the simmering chemistry they can barely contain, making for some of the most memorable on-screen pairings, especially when their feelings for each other begin to deepen. Fairy tale romances are sweet, but where's the fun in watching two nice but bland people fall in love...

The Sing 2 cast followed up their hit 2016 film with another big stage show presentation as they kept fighting for respect. The animated sequel boasts a cast of bright and colorful characters, each with strong voice talent backing them up.

A quintessential everywoman, a supervillain twice over, the ultimate scene-stealer, and a comedic force of nature, there is no actor working right now that has the same undeniable presence as Kathryn Hahn. Since staking her claim with a head-turning performance in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," she has taken on an audaciously wide range of characters, using her unique talents to bring single mothers and interdimensional witches to life with equal levels of craft and care.
This has earned her a resume that reads different from many of her contemporaries, not only because of the sheer variety of roles, but because not a single one of them is forgettable. In trying to put together this list of her best work, it felt as though we were splitting hairs between a cadre of characters all distinguished and brilliant in their own way. As such, we narrowed our focus...
