Andie works as a columnist for Composure Magazine and writes columns starting with “How to…”. After quite a while she decides that it is time for something new, something more serious. She wants to write an article that is more substantial. But before she is allowed to, she has to write her last how to: “How to lose a guy in 10 days”. At the same time, Benjamin has to prove he can get a girl to fall in love with him within 10 days. This, in order to win the leading position of a major campaign for a diamond merchant. After a while Andie and Benjamin are actually starting to like each other. But does a relationship based on a bet from both sides even have a chance? | ||||||||

When I first heard about this movie, I didn’t expect too much from it. The story itself isn’t too brilliant. I mean what are the odds that two persons who have pretty much the same bet, will meet each other? But as a real chick-flick movie lover, I put my preconception aside and watched and…… totally loved it! Kate Hudson has done a real good job performing the crazy girlfriend who does everything wrong. A girlfriend like that is seriously your worst nightmare. The chemistry between Kate and Matthew is just perfect. Their performances were what made this movie rise above the mediocre.
Personally, I watched this movie about 3 times already and while writing this post, I am already planning my next popcorn night with this movie! | ||||||||

I loved this chick flick, too. These two are always in the same type of roles though, at least she is, I wish I could see them in something else. But as for romantic comedies this one works for me.
I enjoyed this film when I watched it, although it had me hiding behind a cushion at one point because I was cringing so much at some of the behaviour - but that’s got to be a sign of a film I’m engaged with, right?
