Comment se faire larguer en 10 leçons

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.

Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive and ladies' man who, to win a big campaign, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Andie Anderson covers the "How To" beat for "Composure" magazine and is assigned to write an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." They are sure to meet each other in a bar and both tries to get what they want without knowing what they are really doing.

This is one of the funnier romantic comedies, if you'd like some laughs. There are many laugh-out-loud moments here and there. The humor was witty and slapstick, which I love in comedies.

The chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey is great. this film is like the battle of the sexes.

Don't watch this film if you want lies between romance but if you would like to have a really good time, then this is the film.

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.

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.

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.
