Kate Hudson twinkles as the heroine of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a magazine writer assigned to date a guy, make all the mistakes girls make that drive guys away (being clingy, talking in baby-talk, etc.), and record the process like a sociological experiment. However, the guy she picks--rangy Matthew McConaughey--is an advertising executive who's just bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in ten days; if he succeeds, he'll win a huge account that will make his career. The set-up is completely absurd, but the collision of their efforts to woo and repel creates some pretty funny scenes. McConaughey's easy charm and Hudson's lightweight impishness play well together and the plot, though strictly Hollywood formula, chugs along efficiently. At moments Hudson seems to channel her mother, Goldie Hawn, to slightly unnerving effect. --Bret Fetzer

She (Kate Hudson) is writing articles in a glamour magazine. She is tiring to get autonomy in her work. To do this she will right an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"He (Matthew McConaughey) is an advertising agent. To obtain an exclusive with the Diamond industry he has to prove he can make any woman fall in love with him within (you guessed it the same ten days)Due to circumstances and a little mischief from advertising rivals, the two are thrown together. What results is known; how they get there is the fun part of the movie.There is nothing exceptional about this movie.

What a funny movie! Definitely a favorite of mine. It's one of those you can watch over and over and still enjoy it. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey have great chemistry! Andrea

5) Not to Light   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Many of the romantic comedies don't have the acting required to make you care about the movies characters. This one does and therefore pulls you into the slightly pretentious story. Afterall who would want to be the guy being dumped for the sake of a magazine article? As for the girl falling in love for him to get a marketing job, a bad bet yes, but there was no indication it would end after 10 days, so I would rather be someone in that position than being purposely mistreated to cause a breakup. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey make a good pair up for this unusual comedy. I recommend it, especially to fans of romantic comedies with the potential lovers fighting in the beginning. I guess that's the vast majority of them actually. The DVD quality is good and it includes extras.
