And that's how it is done...

Is this one of those stereotypical romantic comedies that basically follow every single point of the 'how-to-make-a-romcom'? You bet it is. Did it work? Sure it did, especially if you enjoy the sappy romantic comedies.
And oddly enough, this is the second movie with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in the lead roles. Could it be because of their on-screen chemistry? Because there is no denying it that they really do compliment one another on the screen.
The story is about Andie and Ben who start a relationship under very different pretenses. Ben is a ladies' man who makes a bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in just ten days, while Andie is a writer for a magazine on an assignment to come up with a way of how to lose a guy in just ten days.
This is the classic tale of opposites attract and the stereotypical attract, push away and come to realize that what was supposed to be a non-romantic and emotionally committing turn out to be the one and only thing.
Much can be said about the genre, but every now and then a movie does turn out to be watchable without sugar-coating everything in its path.
