How to lose an audience in 5 minutes

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2004)

Here is the setup.
A shallow self-centered guy working for an ad agency makes a bet that he can get a woman fall in love with him in 10 days so that he win the contract for a diamond seller.
An overeducated journalism major working for a woman's magazine will get the opportunity to do "serious" articles if she succeeds in writing about her experience of doing the wrong things in dating causing her to lose a guy in 10 days.
The big question of course is, who cares? Maybe my Marxist tendencies got in the way but it would be difficult to find two people who I could care less about.
It was raining out and I wanted to watch a video so I took a chance on it. Big mistake. Well I was curious to see how his wager would turn out. I suppose I should have known but I thought it might have gone the other way. Once that was determined I was suprised that the movie was still going on. You mean I am supposed to actually care about the relationship? Sorry but no.
