My dad called it a "chick flick", then he realised it was clever

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2006)

The only reason I ever bought this film was because it was a "3 for £18" sale; I needed another DVD to make up the numbers and I picked up this one because I liked the box.
I watched it next day and was instantly drawn in. The characters all work perfectly together; Benny and Andy are both in search of a step up on the career ladder and each little group of friends have chemistry together, Andy's friends are the perfect New York girls, Lennon and Goldberg blew me away as Benny's friends and Michele and Harlow are the ultimate witches.
To watch Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey together is like watching two people who really are in love, it's not difficult to see the talent these two have and the on-screen chemistry as they fall in love is beautiful.
The plot is predictable at times, but the comic outcomes of Andy's desperate attempts to drive Ben away and Ben's desperate attempts to keep hold of her will remind even heartbroken souls of being in love.
I gave this movie nine out of ten because of it's intelligence and sparkle. It has undoubtedly become one of my favourite movies and Kate Hudson one of my favourite actresses. I hope the industry come up with more intelligent films like this because as I have discovered Chick Flicks can be clever (sometimes)
