Tonight's film was How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days with Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey.
Yes, another chick flick in the same vein as The Wedding Planner (which Matthew McConaughey also starred in).
Again, it's a fairly predicatble romantic comedy, with some good laugh out loud moments.
Kate Hudson plays Andie Anderson, a fashion & lifestyle magazine journalist, who accidently falls into writing a column on how to lose a guy in 10 days, (guess where the title of the film comes from), to do this she must find a man, make him fall for her, then do her best to make him fall out with her.
On the flipside, McConaughey plays Ben Barry, an advertising executive working on mens fitness and sports accounts, but really wants a shot at the big new diamond account. His boss wants to offer it to someone else, but Ben brokers a deal where, he says he can get a woman to fall in love with him in 10 days.
Can you see where this is going?
So, through some external manipulation from his advertising rivals Ben ends up trying to make Andie fall for him. While Andie tries to capture his heart then ditch him in 10 days.
Cue an hour of romance, comedy, sadness and a dog dressed in Burberry, amongst other things.
Kate Hudson is brilliant in this movie, stunningly beautiful, but she needs to eat something!! Very skinny.
The jury is still out on Matthew McConaughey, I'm not sure that I like him. His accent starts to grate after awhile, but his good looks obviously make up for this, if you like that sort of thing!
Overall a better than average film, some good hearty laugh out loud moments. The romance wasn't overly sickly and of course, there's a happy ending, but how they get there, go watch the film!
