How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days

February 14, 2003

Scale: 8 out of a possible 10 Should you see it? YES How’s the writing? GOOD Any gaping holes in the plot? NO (not that you’d really care) What stands out? Light and fun

Comedies are the hardest types of movies to make. It’s easier (I think) to make a drama or an action movie.

There’s no amazing twists and turns here, it’s nothing if not formulaic, but it was worth a few laughs.

    Kind of a gay plot. But the cute and romantic jokes make it an okay movie. 7/10

    god… try watching something GOOD for once. i hated it with a passion. try “breakfast @ tiffanies” or “gone with the wind” - truly great movies.

  • Laura

    whats up with the whole sex before marriage…..honestly every movie has it nowadays.. including this one, kate hudson was good tho

  • tami

    MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD I thought “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days” was so funny. Kate Hudson’s smile was really charming and Matthew McCoughey was so cute. They made a really good couple. I laughed at all the parts. The part I laughed at the most was when they dog tinkled on the green table and when Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) ruined the boys ‘poker night’. If you haven’t seen this movie you should! I recommend it!

    “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” was one of the best movies I have ever seen. First off, Matthew McConaughey…you can’t go wrong.. he’s a great actor and he’s also funny..not to mention extremely sexy. Kate Hudson, another good actress like her mom, Goldie Hawn. :) I think it’s the actors/actresses is what makes the movie what it is. I would rather watch this that “Gone with the Wind” because that one is way too long, not to mention deeply boring and I’m sorry but, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”…okay Catherine Hepburn..not a bad actress, but the movie is kinda dumb and a little flamboyant.

    “How to Lose a Guy in 10 days”…cute & funny but not realistic, yes Matthew McConaughey is very sexy, but Kate Hudson ruins the movie, shes to perky & dorky…basically proving the theory of the “dumb blonde” , not a must see, but i’ve seen worse

    “How to lose a guy in 10 days” - one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time. The dog, the two male friends, the “love fern”, so many great scenes and lines!!!!

    one of my favorite movies. matthew mcconaughey is hot and so good in the movie. poor guy, hes such a good sport. and kate hudson is amazing as always. i love her ability to play all the different parts of her character convincingly. she can switch back and forth so easily from the crazy dumb blonde andie to the real girl we see with her friends and occasionally with ben. my favorite part is when they go to staten island. his family is so sweet, and even though theyre both in the middle of their agendas, theyve pretty much dropped the games for a day. its the first time for awhile that you get to see them being real with each other. and although im not a fan of sex scenes, this one is just too cute. i love it, its so sweet and innocent.

    basically, SEE IT. also, if you rent/buy the dvd, theres a lot of great special features. make sure to watch it with the director commentary one time. youll find out lots of cool stuff… like that a lot of the funniest lines are adlibed and all those funny faces are from when they just left the tape rolling after the scene was over.

    This is is the BEST movie! Its my fave! Kate Hudson makes the movie so great. The song “You’re So Vain” is the best song! One of my fave parts is when Kate calls Ben at work and says “Itssss meeeee!” I love to sing the “You’re So Vain” along with Kate. My fave days are poker night and day 10. Dog Lovers: You will love the Chinese Crested! If u wanna play the card game say “Impossible”. That’s all. Bye!
