Hudson needs a little more time to hone her comedic skills before she can charm us through all the watery spots in the film's hot-laughs and cold-jokes script.

Reviews for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
In what civilization is this kind of behavior romantic?
02/19/03
Leave before the excruciating finale and you should have an OK time.

It is fun, but empty fun.

The movie appears to be stocked with nine to five giggly runway models wearing $2,000 outfits, rather than your usual office drudges.

How to lose an audience in 10 ways
02/14/03
Both lovers are duplicitous creeps -- in a perverse way they're made for each other.

Top CriticWhen a chick flick goes wrong -- and this one hits a dead end in hell -- it's a wipeout.

Top CriticHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days may have a new title and different stars, but I’ve basically reviewed this film three times in the last two months.
02/12/03
To prove that the movie's not just a reshuffling of a 1959 Doris Day flick, they've thoughtfully added a gaseous uncle, thereby ensuring modern hilarity value. Regardless of its FQ (that's Flatulence Quotient), it still plays like a 1959 Doris flick.

The funny stuff at the heart of this film struggles in vain to free itself from a cage made of old romantic-comedy cliches.
02/11/03
In Donald Petrie’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the setup to the inevitable is contrived to highest level that although you may want to dismiss the film, the performances by the leads are appealing enough for you to have good time enjoying this film.
02/11/03
10 Days may be predictable, but it’s still quite entertaining.
02/11/03
Though the majority of the film is laughably predictable (you just know there's going be a drawn-out sequence in which both characters learn about the other's deception), there's a lot worth recommending about How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
02/10/03
Ladies, here's a hint: you can lose a guy in a lot less than 10 days if you make him watch movies like this one.
02/10/03
This tortured premise to get them together and the things they go through, every minute of it just lies flat on the screen.

A nice enough diversion when the theaters are filled with weightier Oscar contenders.
