“A fabulously fresh and totally entertaining battle of the sexes…” – said Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV. After watching the movie “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” you will realize that it was an incredibly funny story of a two totally different people. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey star in this romantic comedy. Love can happen even when two people meet under strange and crazy circumstances. “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days”, is an enjoyable romantic comedy that incorporates the twist of two secret bets, funny and outrageous situations, and a surprising ending.
The setting of this movie takes place in New York City, the city of dreams and love. This romantic comedy is based on bets that the title characters make. Andie Anderson (Hudson) writes the “How To…” column for Composure Magazine. She tries to get her friend out of trouble and decides to write a story on how to get a guy and make him run away in ten days. At the same time Benjamin Barry (McConaughey) makes a bet that he can make a women fall in love with him in ten days. And of course, he has to make Andie fall in love with him. At first everything goes just perfect for both of them. After a couple days it’s Andie’s turn to be a girl that any guy would dump. Andie decided to go to extreme measures to make sure the guy will dump her. Since Benjamin wants to win the bet he does not give up on Andie easily. There are a lot of funny episodes in this movie that just makes the viewer laugh out loud.
Andie is trying desperately to have Benjamin break up with her and this leads to many funny and outrageous situations. One of the funny episodes was when Andie came in to Benjamin’s job and brought her little dog and a shirt for him. She made Benjamin put the shirt on in front of his co-workers and the dog peed on the pool table. When Andie saw the dog peeing on the pool table, all she said was: “The little dog is not potty trained yet.” The co-workers made lame excuses and just left them alone.
The best part of this romantic comedy is the ending. Andie finds out why Benjamin is trying to keep her by his side and gets mad. She turns in the story and decides to leave the New York City and go somewhere else. She wants to write about politics not about the things that she is writing about right now. Benjamin reads the story and tries to find Andie and tell her his true feelings about her. Benjamin gets on his motorcycle and drives to the airport looking in every single taxi. Finally he sees Andie and makes her stop the taxi in the middle of the bridge. Benjamin tells her about his feelings and gives some cash to taxi driver. The taxi driver has to take Andie’s luggage back to her apartment and the lovely couple leaves on a motorcycle.
