same basic romantic comedy formula: and it works!

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2004)

The last romantic comedy I remember Matthew McConaughey was in was the Wedding Planner with J-LO. That one was not very good because J-Lo and he had no chemistry and were boring together. This movie is different. Kate Hudson and him look so cute together, it's believable that they would fall for each other, but of course not in just 10 days. I found a lot of things funny in this movie. MM has a bet to make KH fall for him while she is writing a story about how to get a guy to dump you. She starts acting needy and clingy and that is when it gets good because any guy would dump a girl like that after 2 dates, but he can't because he needs to win the bet. She brings over a love fern, gets an ugly dog, brings over her bathroom stuff, and the best part was when she brings over an album with pictures of their "wedding and kids". The look on MM face was priceless. Also this movie knows how to get a laugh out of the name Princess Sofie. The ending is so predictable, but with these type of movies, does it ever end any other way?
FINAL VERDICT: I thought it was good and recommend it as your next chick flick to watch.
