Two professionals learn the importance of honesty in any relationship in the romantic comedy How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2003)

Advertising executive Ben Barry (Matthew McConaughey) unknowingly bites off more than he can chew when he enters a relationship with journalist Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) who has her own secret. Barry has entered a bet with his boss that he can charm any woman into falling in love with him for ten days, while Anderson is doing her best to demonstrate all the things women should not do when dating for an article for her women's magazine. Realistic the Donald Petrie-directed film is not, but there's plenty to giggle at throughout  some of it predictable and some of it surprising. McCounaughey is all too charming in his role as Barry, having his patience tested at every stage of the relationship, while Hudson demonstrates a surprisingly diverse range with her switch from wholesome city slicker to psychotic girlfriend from hell. Carrying an M certificate, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days contains semi-adult themes and includes a small amount of sexual innuendo. An entertaining romantic comedy with a predictable climax. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is one for the girls, although that doesn't mean that boys won't enjoy it too. Just remember to be honest with one another afterwards!
