Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2018)

How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days is a 2002 romantic comedy about a young woman named Andie Anderson(Kate Hudson) who works as an editor for Cosmopolitan. One of her best friends played by Kathryn Hahn had just broken up with her boyfriend due to her unclingness. So Andie decides to write an article dubbed How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days where she acts all clingy and needy so that the guy would break up with her. We later meet a womanizing journalist named Benjamin Barry played by Matthew McConnaghey who also makes a bet where he can make any woman fall in love with him in 10 Days. However when Ben meets Andie the two start blackmailing each other little do they know that one is lying to the other. But can Andie end up falling for Ben for real?

Overall I haven't seen this film in years and I got it on DVD last month and watched it last night. Kate Hudson is just like her famous mother Goldie Hawn as they both have the same sarcastic dry humour which makes Hudson likeable. Matthew McConaghet used to be the king of romantic comedies before he ditched them for good in 2009 with Ghost Of Girlfriend Past and also would team up with Kate Hudson in the 2008 flick Fools Gold. Here in How to lose a guy in 10 Days he was charismatic and just dreamy.
The chemistry between Hudson and McConnaghey was very good and the plot of the film was great.
