“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” was released on January 27, 2023. It has a run time of 1 hour and 50 minutes, and it made a grossing over 177 million dollars worldwide.
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” follows a journalist named Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) writing an article on how to have a guy lose interest in you in ten days. She uses Ben Barry (Matthew McConaughey) as her test subject to write the article. Secretly, Ben made a bet that he could get Andie to fall in love with him within ten days for a diamond advertising campaign. As they are both playing with each other’s feelings, they slowly start to gain genuine feelings for each other. They eventually find out about each other’s secret and rekindle their relationship after Andie writes about her love for Ben.
The songs this movie uses are very important to the story. Andie and Ben sing the song “You’re So Vain” at a party to try to embarrass each other. They do this because they just find out about each other’s secrets. This song choice is perfect for the story because it shows how they are betrayed and feel resentment towards each other.
Hudson’s acting in this movie was very impressive. In the movie, she really showed how her character was putting on an act around Ben. This is because her character purposefully acted clingy and annoying to try to get Ben to run away. She also did a good job portraying how her character started gaining feelings for Ben. As time went on, Andie slowly started to lose the act she was putting on. Her acting is a very important part of the movie’s success.
Overall, this movie is highly recommended to people ages 13 and up who enjoy romantic comedy movies.
