Critics Consensus

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are charming together, but they can't overcome How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' silly premise and predictable script.

She plays the ninny and the harpy, the baby doll and the ball breaker. It's Kate Hudson's film all right, but this actress is a cold squeeze, not well photographed either, and has the worst hairdo on the East Side.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is exactly what it promises: a playful, predictable rom-com with enough charm, chemistry, and ridiculous hijinks to keep you entertained.

‘…a film that discredits the idea of romance as something genuine that might happen to anyone normal…’

Starring the exuberantly effervescent Kate Hudson and one of Hollywood's sexiest and most eligible bachelors, Matthew McConaughey, How to Lose has all the makings of a classic romantic comedy.

So bad. I tried to hate watch it in stages over a couple days, but… when it came to the crisis point toward the end, I realised, that’d be just 10-20 minutes over my capacity to care about making full use of my rental.

To hell with endings that sugarcoat everything for one last soft landing. Sometimes the deserving bitter ones are the ones that taste the sweetest.

It was cheesy at times but hey what's a rom-com without cheesy scenes. I t made me feel happy, embarrased, sad, annoyed and so much more. this was an experience and fun to watch.
