Reviews for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
A brand of entertainment that’s dissatisfying intellectually and formulaically.
02/07/03
Kate Hudson is irresistably adorable in this frothy comedy about the head-on-collision between two competing bets and one overpowering attraction.
02/07/03
The movie would have been so much better if it had jumped into its mean-spiritedness with gusto and passion, instead of just splashing around in it halfheartedly.
02/06/03
Top CriticDespite a few clever insights and twists, it's neither good nor distinctive enough to rise above the level of generic romantic comedy.
02/06/03
Top CriticIf the movie provides no new insight into the contrasting behavior of men and women or the perils of postmodern urban dating, falling well shy of the not-too-high standard set by 'Sex and the City' on both fronts, it does have its tart, fizzy moments.
02/06/03
Top CriticA too-long title is just the first problem for this too-long, misguided, so-called romantic comedy.
02/06/03
Top CriticMutual deception as a comedic conceit predates Shakespeare, and it certainly shows its age in this creaker.
02/06/03
All in all, it’s a mostly harmless movie and if you’re female and have a mean streak, you should love it. Guys should see it as a warning.
02/06/03
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days will test your cuteness tolerance level.
02/06/03
Top Critic... it is pretty funny, if exaggerated to cartoonish extremes and contrived beyond belief.
02/06/03
Should just count ourselves lucky that the final reunion on a bridge doesn't involve Benjamin on horseback and Paul Young on the soundtrack.
02/06/03
How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days explores sexual politics in many winning and funny ways and proves that equanimity in a man is a great aphrodisiac.
02/06/03
How to lose a Guy in 10 Days More like How to Lose an Audience in 10 Minutes.
02/06/03
In contrast to the horrifically stupid, dull romantic comedies the past month or two have brought us, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is almost, but not quite, a breath of fresh air.
02/06/03
If reality's your bag, take a pass. But if you're looking for a harmless diversion to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day, this could be the ticket.
02/06/03
There may be some way to make this nonsense amusing, but writers Kristen Buckley and Brian Regan haven't even figured out a reasonable setup for getting the two together.
02/06/03
Top CriticHow to Lose a Guy smoothly satirizes the superficiality of man-hungry women and the soullessness of sex-hungry men.
02/06/03
Top Critic...This film will charm your socks off
02/06/03
Not for one frame does it seem possible that these two cutesy twenty-somethings won't see the errors of their wagers in time to take the exit to happily-ever-after land.
