    • Trivia
      Much 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.
    • Goofs
      One of the headlines on the first magazine's cover (during the intro-montage) states 'How To Loose Your Stomach' instead of the correct 'Lose'.
    • Quotes

      Andie: Our love fern! You let it die!

      Ben: No, honey, it's just sleeping.

    Damn Near Perfect
    Matthew M. is best in romantic comedies. It's his best type of movie. He's not the most handsome guy, and a little on the random side. But for some reason he shines in these movies. Who knows?

    This is some good stuff right here. Perhaps one of the best rom coms ever. The movie is about a man meeting a woman. The man is supposed to make a girl fall in love with him, while the woman is supposed to make the man fall out of love with her. She's a journalist doing it for a story, and he's doing it for work as well. They fall in love at the end.

    It's a powerful vehicle. Both Hudson and M shine pretty bright. It has its dull moments, but comes together beautifully in the end. It's fun to see the relationship drama, and both trying to trick the other. Family gets involved too, mixed with career, it's a hit.

    Watch it!
