funny

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2007)

This movie was fairly funny. It was a combination of humor, formula, and predictablility, but still funny. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaghey have two different agendas about what to do in ten days-Hudson to drive a guy away and McConaghey to get a girl to fall madly in love with him. Of course, their plans go awry and chaos ensues. I liked it. The two stars had definite chemistry, and it was a likable chemistry. It was well written. I think there were many memorable scenes, such as the Knicks games and the black tie party. Hudson especially gave a terrific turn as the magazine writer who does her 10 day thing for a magazine article she is working on, and gives a good over-the-top performance. You might like it if you like the stars and this type of movie. See it for those.
