How
To Lose A Guy in 10 Days Movie Review: Aspiring advertising executive Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) makes a deal with his boss that if he can get a woman to fall in love with him before the Diamond Gala, he will get the biggest account of his career. With these games in play, Benjamin and Andi begin a relationship. It is a tug-of-war of hilarity as each tries to outwit the other while not knowing each other’s goal. Will Benjamin and Andi just forget the rules and admit they are perfect for each other? How
to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a perfect romantic comedy on
paper. The jokes are there, the stars seem alert and the
basic romantic comedy cliches are evident. But what "How
to Lose a Guy" comes off as is "Sex in the City"
for the Disney-crowd. The problem with this comedy is that
it is to safe, fails to take risks and is in desperate need
of a makeover. (pardon the pun!) I can’t say that I hated this film because the performances by McConaughey and Hudson are very entertaining and there are some really funny jokes but it was just to standard of a comedy. There is always the big Gala scene where the guy looks at the girl as she comes out in her breathtaking gown. If the hairs on the back of your neck standup then you know it works. When Kate Hudson comes out in her canary yellow dress, my hair did stand up. These actors are very likeable and there are a couple cute moments but maybe the film is just to girlish for me. (2.5 out of 5) So Says the Soothsayer. Dean
