Review: Funny and charming.. - So its fluffy and predictable. It's unrealistic and sickly sweet. Who cares...this film pretends to be nothing more than what it is intended to be. Light romantic comedy. Since stars like Cary Grant, Kathrine Hepburn and Irene Dunne, lit up our cinema screens in the 1930's with films like The Awful Truth, Bringing up Baby and My Favorite Wife, Hollywood and of course the movie going public have reserved a special place in their hearts for RomComs, screwballs and battle of the sexes comedies. Identical plots, Identical jokes but none the less jokes and plots that will never go out of style and will always be relevant in any age or location, whether it be New York of the 30's or New York in the present day. Hollywood has always worked on the basis that they stick to what has been tried and tested and has proved to work, that is why with a small plot change and a rehash of old jokes and situations they are able to reinvent their movies for a new generation of film buffs. It was through this formula that Doris Day and friends were able to continue RomCom history throughout the 60's and every one of them box office winners. A recent example of this would be Down With Love starring Ewan McGregor and Rene Zelwegger. Who could not see plot comparisons to Pillow Talk or Lover Come Back? Yet it did not make this film any less enjoyable. Our entertainment lies in seeing our actors of the day fill the roles of the great actors of yesterday and how the scripts and jokes are adapted and told within a backdrop of 21st century life etc. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson made this film with impeccable comic timing and enjoyable performances. Of course with Goldie Hawn for a mother, Hudson comes straight from comic stock so I would have been disappointed if she failed to meet the challenge but she didn't. Some of her facial expressions and mannerisms almost had me convinced I was watching an old episode of "Laugh In" McConaughey also held his own and proved himself to be a gifted comic as he did in the Wedding Planner. This plot seemed quite original and as a battle of the sexes comedy, they seldom come as good as this. Again the formula was followed and we were under no illusion on what the final outcome would be, but their journey to this ultimate destination is what we find entertaining. This type of film has been popular for seventy plus years and their simularities are what makes them so. Instead of slamming them..watch some of the predecessors and appreciate their origins. Be thankful they are still making these types of movies today as in an era which is threatening to be devoured by action thrillers, fantasy adventure and shoot 'em ups this seems to be the only diversity left in motion pictures.

You're Gone in 10 Days... NO, You are Gone in 10 Days!
This is a GREAT movie for "young love" or just the "young at heart". I received it ON TIME and for an Amazon seller's GREAT PRICE! Let's see, he's going to be dropped, no she will leave... and it all happens in 10 days? (Actually, a little sooner.) The comedy of Kate Hudson is fabulous, I mean, after all, it's in her genes, her well known Hollywood funny mom is Goldie Hawn. I would recommend this movie to all. A good and funny movie for a good and fair price (from this seller.) When you receive your copy, enjoy... with plenty of popcorn.

Light humor leaves you just plain ole happy
This movie is great when you just want a funny, light romantic comedy. It will make you to watch the ridiculous strategies (baby talk, stuffed animals, interruptions) she uses to lose the guy in 10 days, but that's what makes it light and fun. We watched with it with our 17 year old daughter and it made for a great mom-dad-daughter chick flick evening.

Her latest assignment is to pick a guy, and do all the stupid things girls do to chase a man away. "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" is Andie's next challenge to write. Ben is the perfect man for her column! Matthew McConaughey plays Benjamin Barry an ad executive wanting to break into a market he has never represented before.

How to Lose a guy in Ten Days
Joyeuse comédie, sur fond de paris fous ou stupides. Parfois un plan bien huilé ne se déroule pas comme prévu, voir obtient un résultat à l'opposé de ce qui était prévu. La loi de Murphy dans toute sa splendeur. Un film à voir absolument.
