The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

When this movie came out, it absolutely set a new standard for romantic comedies! I've seen it probably a hundred times and I still laugh out loud every time. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson were perfect and their chemistry is one of the best I've seen. Although it is romantic and funny, it's not just a chick flick and can be enjoyed by all! I've been quoting lines from this movie for 15 years - it's so easy and never gets old! Also, I love the soundtrack, especially Keith Urban's 'Somebody Like You' and thought the music was all perfectly placed in the appropriate scenes. I really don't think I could ever get sick of this movie!

In order to advance in her career, Andie must write an article about how to lose a guy in 10 days, so she gets Ben as her guinea pig. Unbeknownst to her, Ben has a bet of his own, also regarding his career, so he will prove to be a very hard player in their love game. Unfortunately or fortunately for both of them, their respective bets are about to transform into something more than expected and coping with the new experience will be a challenge they will have to face together.It's a romantic movie, which features the perils of two people which are willing to make many sacrifices in order to win, thus taking the game to a whole new level. It is very pleasant and enjoyable, emotional and thrilling while sometimes funny and dramatic. It's a must see of the genre and a very good movie overall!

Despite charismatic leads and some funny situations, the 2003 comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days doesn't really sustain its paper-thin premise for the film's entire running time.The film stars Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson, a magazine writer who has been assigned to write the title article for her magazine and has chosen one Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) as the objective of demonstrating her article. Unknown to Anderson, Barry has bet co- workers that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days.his film, based on a pair of books by Michele Alexander and Jeanne Long, just doesn't possess the substance to actually admit to being inspired by two different books. I can't believe that it took 2 books to come up with an uninspired comedy that comes off as a tired retread of the Doris Day Rock Hudson comedies of the 60's.Donald Petrie's direction is a little on the pedestrian side, but the leads are attractive and there are effective supporting bits offered along the way by Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Klein, Adam Goldberg, Kathryn Hahn, and Celia Weston, but I guess your appreciation of the film depends on how much you love Hudson and McConaughey, whose obvious on screen chemistry just wasn't enough to make this film work.

It's a movie where the main characters are confident successful people who fall in love with each other. The characters are people who who have NEVER known : alienation, loneliness, injustice, or mental illness. The characters are people who have never been called a weirdo, fatty, ugly, nerd, queer. Who is this movie for? Who are the awful flawless well- adjusted people this movie was made for? There is nothing wrong with shallow people who have never examined their lives to find one another and have a perfect shallow unexamined romantic relationship--that said, who f*cking cares about people like that? That's like the Yankees playing the Cardinals in the World's Series, who f*cking cares?
