Featured reviews
'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

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.

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.

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.

Did you know
- TriviaMuch of the scene where Andie crashes Ben's "boys night" was improvised. Kate Hudson had the idea to toss the platter of veggies at the guys seated at the poker table. Donald Petrie, the director, knew she was going to do this but the actors in the scene were truly surprised.
- GoofsWhen the character Andie Anderson says, "I mean this is Defcon 5, and I have to do something truly appalling," she really means she is at Defcon 1 or 2. Defcon 5 is the lowest level of defense readiness. Defcon 1 is the highest.
