How to lose a Guy in 10 Days


Almost all of us know what we will find in the next two hours of projection when we are willing to watch a romantic comedy like this one. First of all,  it is a film that appeals and is geared towards women and our boyfriends frown their forehead while in the line to the purchase the tickets, but they end up watching the movie only to accompany us. Concessions that we women also do when we watch Fast and Furious, for example. I am entering the field of relationships between couples because it is precisely the theme of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

So lets go to the point... Kate Hudson is Andie Anderson, a young journalist from a major women's magazine called Composure.
She longs to cover political stories, but she finds herself writing a "How to" column with tips for girls. After hearing the latest dating laments of her friend Michelle, Andie sells her boss Lana the idea of writing a piece on the things women do wrong in a relationship, which she will demonstrate by winning and then driving away a man in exact ten days. Meanwhile, Mathew McConaughey is Benjamin Barry, an advertising man who wants to win a prestige diamond account at his firm. Ben is competing with his co-workers, Spears  and Green, for the assignment, so he tells his boss Phillip that he is the man for the job because he understands women and he can make any woman fall for him in less than two weeks. As fate would have it, Andie and Ben end up choosing one another for their mutual assignments, with neither knowing about each others secret agenda, Ben strives to hold on to Andie while she does everything in her power to annoy him.

Yes, the script might seem silly, but remember, it is a light film to watch with a boyfriend on a Saturday afternoon. If you just relax, you may really enjoy it. Moreover, the sound track is really good, especially Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer, Follow You Down by Gin Blossoms and Somebody Like You by Keith Urban.
