Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive and ladies' man who, to win a big campaign, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Andie Anderson covers the "How To" beat for "Composure" magazine and is assigned to write an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." They are sure to meet each other in a bar and both tries to get what they want without knowing what they are really doing.
This is one of the funnier romantic comedies, if you'd like some laughs. There are many laugh-out-loud moments here and there. The humor was witty and slapstick, which I love in comedies.
The chemistry between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey is great. this film is like the battle of the sexes.
Don't watch this film if you want lies between romance but if you would like to have a really good time, then this is the film.

There are no words to describe this movie. I found it hillarious and heartwarming. The two principle actors were great as their roles as Ben and Andie. Kate Hudson was great at driving Ben nuts. I laughed for days.
I loved the soundtrack too. It had classics and modern day classics.
I feel this movie will go down as a classic with such films as Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing.

I am afraid this is the kind of movie that someone might admit is quite enjoyable and sweet-funny, most likely appreciate the excellent chemistry of the 2 stars, might even agree with most of the "ways to lose or win someone in 10 days" - but will find hard to give it a good 7 stars because it "feels light" or "lacks depth", and so they give it a "nice - 6" which feels patronizing for this type of movies & the stars and creators. If you are one of those who believe that not necessarily everything we watch has to be sophisticated, or mentally and intellectually stimulating, then you will probably appreciate this movie for it's kind as one of the best out there, it is actually time well spent just like other shows like "Friends" feel like.
I recommend this movie to anyone who not only likes movies as art or stories, but also enjoys the process of watching one.

Andie(Kate Hudson) is a beautiful young woman that works for a women's magazine called Composure and for her next article, Andie has to write about how to lose a guy in 10 days. Ben(Matthew McConaughey)is an advertising executive and he makes a bet with his friends that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Of course, these two meet each other and the scam is on. Andie will do anything to lose a guy and Ben will do anything to win a girl, what they don't expect is that the two of them will fall in love with each other. I thought this was a funny and charming romantic comedy. The lovely Kate Hudson gives a great performance, she was absolutely hilarious! I would give How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days 7/10.
This movie has existed since 2003 and I watched it in 2021? Boy am I late for the party.
It's the perfect chick-flick! It's romantic, heartwarming, sappy, and has a happy ending! What more does a girl want? Oh, and it's also funny like I actually laughed at certain parts, not just a chuckle. While Kate Hudson is a darling, I kept swooning over young Mathew McConaughey, they just fit their roles perfectly and the chemistry, you can definitely feel it. That trailer does no justice to what's in store. Obviously, it is predictable, it's a chick-flick, but it's a swoop me off my feet and let me fall in love with them kind of movie! (Why don't they make them like this anymore?) And never did I imagine anybody could pull off a yellow dress this well. To so many bad reviews, I'd use the movie's dialogue - Bulls**t.
This is the Rom-Com you deserve, it's got great acting, slapstick comedy and 18 years later is still worth every minute.
I don't want to keep you long, trust me, go watch it.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMuch of the scene where Andie crashes Ben's "boys night" was improvised. Kate Hudson had the idea to toss the platter of veggies at the guys seated at the poker table. Donald Petrie, the director, knew she was going to do this but the actors in the scene were truly surprised.
- GoofsWhen the character Andie Anderson says, "I mean this is Defcon 5, and I have to do something truly appalling," she really means she is at Defcon 1 or 2. Defcon 5 is the lowest level of defense readiness. Defcon 1 is the highest.
