DVD Reviews of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: Chick Flick Everyone Can Enjoy
Summary: 4 Stars
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days is not only a movie women can enjoy, but men as well. It's a humurous love story with an ending you would not expect. It's not your typical girl meets boy, and they fall in love story.
Kate Hudson works for a style magazine, and Matthew McConaughey works for an advertising company.They both end up dating one another for work. Kate uses Matthew for her next big story, "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days" and Matthew uses Kate to beat out two coworkers in a job by making a bet that he could make her fall in love with him. After everything they put eachother through for work, they end up falling in love.
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days kept my attention throughout the whole movie. I've also found that whenever deciding what movie to watch guys dont seem to mind watching this one, because its humur and unpredictable ending.
DVD Review: It sure lost this guy.
Summary: 5 Stars
The trouble with being a single guy at my age (32) is that typically, all your male friends are either married or living with someone. So if you want to go to the movies with your friends, you typically wind up watching what their wives want to see. This is how I was roped into seeing "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". This film has one thing going for it (and only one thing): Kate Hudson is hilarious playing the psycho girlfriend (and I've had a couple). Unfortunately, that might be enough for a 5-minute SNL skit or a guest appearance on a show like "Friends", but it's not enough to carry a 2-hour movie. Everything else in the film comes from the sitcom "Just Shoot Me": Kate Hudson's character is a serious journalist "trapped" working at a shallow fashion magazine, and the characters played by Bebe Neuwirth & Robert Klein are carbon copies of Wendie Malick & George Segal respectively in the aforementioned TV show. The "plot"--so to speak--is that Hudson's character is going to pick a guy to clamp on to, then drive him away with all the stuff that women do when they feel more needy than desirable, after which she will write an article called "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". Meanwhile an ad exec (Matthew McConaughey, who I met a couple of times when we were in college together) bets his co-workers he can get anyone to fall in love with him. They pick each other for their respective projects and the bad chick-flick comedy cliches ensue. Another big problem I have with the movie is that it has nothing to do with the real world. Since when are the Knicks in the NBA finals each year? That hasn't happened since Jeff Van Gundy left. Also, as a Texan, I have come to accept that my accent is used for all sorts of rural types (Ohio in "Heathers", Alaska in "Northern Exposure", Minnesota in "A Simple Plan"); and I realize that in the movies, everywhere outside of New York City proper is supposed to be the sticks. But surely even the most elitist Manhattanite must realize that people from Staten Island do *not* speak with an exaggerated Southern drawl. For a single heterosexual male, watching this movie is like waiting for your sister to finish trying on outfits at a department store when you were a kid. You just wanted her to hurry up so you could go home and play video games. After watching this movie, I pulled "Tetris" out of the mothballs (OK it's on a hard drive, but you get the point) and found it immensely more entertaining than this film.DVD Review: Fairly mindless, but always entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I consider myself fairly picky about my romantic comedies, but this is one I happily own, even if I wouldn't consider it one of the best of all time. Still, it has the magic of Matthew and Kate (what a spark those two have!) playing wonderful roles that are almost reminiscent of those glamerous sex comedies of the sixties. They both steal (and therefore share) the spotlight of this wildly hilarious little romp. The story is a great and fun idea that is pulled off wonderfully by all involved. It's snappy, romantic, and ridiculous, but I like it.DVD Review: Smile and laugh as you saunder through this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is coy, humorous and so much fun to watch, from several different view points. It is a feel-good movie too. The energy between these two, and the plot, will keep you on your toes throughout the movie.. It is a keeper for sure....DVD Review: somewhat disappointed!
Summary: 1 Stars
I received the product which was intact and sealed properly, however, when I went to watch the video, I was unable to view it properly. At first it wouldn't even load properly. I wound up purchasing a new video from the store, rather that trying to mail and return and obtain a new movie.
Description of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Full Screen Edition)
Oscar? nominee* Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and Matthew McConaughey (A Time To Kill) give the battle of the sexes an outrageously unexpected twist in the runaway comedy hit the Daily News applauds as "Hilarious!" As the "How to..." columnist for trendy Composure Magazine Andie Anderson (Hudson) agrees to write a first-hand account about what it takes to drive a man out of your life...in exactly 10 days. At the same time eligible ad agency bachelor Benjamin Barry (McConaughey) accepts a high-stakes bet that he can lure any woman into falling head-over-heels in love with him...also in 10 days. The resulting romantic head-on collision ignites a series of deliriously comic deceptions that prove when it comes to true love...your heart cannot tell a lie. From the director of Miss Congeniality it's the year's most wildly entertaining romantic romp in the comedy smash David Sheehan of CBS-TV hails as "The ultimate chick-flick for guys!" *Academy Award? nomination Best Supporting Actress Almost Famous 1999 DVD Special Features: -Commentary by Director Donald Petrie-Mapping Out the Perfect Movie - Cast & Crew Interviews -5 Deleted Scenes with Director's Commentary-Mapping Out the Perfect Location - Featurette -Music Video - "Somebody Like You" by Keith Urban -Widescreen Version Enhanced For 16:9 TVs -English Subtitles -Dolby Digital: English 5.1 Surround English Dolby Surround French Dolby SurroundSystem Requirements:Starring: Matthew McConaughey Kate Hudson Adam Goldberg Shalom Harlow and Michael Michele.

Copyright 2003 Paramount Pictures.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?097360568141 Manufacturer No:?056814Kate Hudson twinkles as the heroine of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a magazine writer assigned to date a guy, make all the mistakes girls make that drive guys away (being clingy, talking in baby-talk, etc.), and record the process like a sociological experiment. However, the guy she picks--rangy Matthew McConaughey--is an advertising executive who's just bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in ten days; if he succeeds, he'll win a huge account that will make his career. The set-up is completely absurd, but the collision of their efforts to woo and repel creates some pretty funny scenes. McConaughey's easy charm and Hudson's lightweight impishness play well together and the plot, though strictly Hollywood formula, chugs along efficiently. At moments Hudson seems to channel her mother, Goldie Hawn, to slightly unnerving effect. --Bret Fetzer
