Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2003)

In my own opinion, I LOVED this movie. It was funny and very cute. Kate Hudson did an excellent job. The thing is, it was a chick flick. For my own rating, as in what I thought of it, I gave it a 9. Because it was a chick flick, obviously all of the world wouldn't enjoy it like me. BUT, for a chick flick, it was awesome and I still think everyone should give it a chance.
Kate Hudson did an awesome job. I Loved her role in the film because you saw two sides of her, which she pulled off really well. One side being herself, and then the other, the girl trying to get rid of McConaughey's character. On the other hand, Matthew McConaughey did an equally impressive job for the same reason. He had to be two different characters too.
I loved in the movie when it's towards the end and you see Andie (Hudson) starting to act like herself around Ben (McConaughey) when they're at his parents house. I was personally really happy because it was like 'oooh the characters are starting to realize they do have feelings for each other blah blah blah'. I thought it was great when Andie made Ben go up to the stage and sing and then Ben made Andie come up too and they were singing together.
McConaughey has been in a couple chick flicks. For instance, he's been in The Wedding Planner, EdTV(it could be seen as a chick flick just because of the romance), Boys on the Side, and probably more, but...
IF YOU LIKED THE WEDDING PLANNER, also starring McConaughey, YOU'LL LOVE THIS EVEN MORE. Personally I don't really like J.Lo. She's a good actress, but there's something about the roles she plays that I just don't like, so seeing Matthew with someone else was awesome.
Honestly though, I could see why someone would not like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but with the way the film is, I think it depends on the viewer. In my opinion it's not your typical chick flick where the guy is usually wrong and the girl is the victim, blah blah blah. They're both being wronged and doing wrong. Everyone should go see it.
