Unrealistic but Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2003)

I really liked this movie. Although it was majorly unrealistic for the most part (e.g. the posh Manhattanite life, and *any* guy putting up with Kate Hudson's character for ten days), it was actually quite funny, and the good thing is, I think it was meant to be. I went to go see this movie with a bunch of my single girlfriends, the major demographic this movie is aimed at. We all agreed that the movie was much better than we expected it to be. In fact, until the last ten minutes, I'm sure any guy on a date could sit through it and not wince throughout the whole thing. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson's chemistry is amazing, and it's what makes this film work. I think it's definitely worth a trip to the theatre.
