How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

Coming Out at 7 February 2003 in theaters.

Comedy, Romance

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is romantic comedy film directed by Donald Petrie, starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on a short cartoon book of the same name by Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long.

Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) is a writer for the women’s magazine Composure as the “How to”, subject-matter expert. She is bored and wishes she could write about more serious topics such as politics, economics, religion, poverty; matters she is genuinely concerned with. After Andie’s best friend Michelle (Kathryn Hahn) experiences yet another break-up, Andie is inspired to write a new article titled “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”; she will start dating a guy and eventually drive him away using only the “classic mistakes women make” in relationships.

At the same time, advertising executive Benjamin “Ben” Barry (Matthew McConaughey) is striving for a pitch to advertise a new diamond campaign. When his boss questions Ben’s knowledge about romance, Ben bets he could make any woman fall in love with him if he wanted to. His boss accepts the bet and confirms that if he can make any woman fall in love with him before the upcoming company ball, in just 10 days, he will allow Ben to head the advertising for the new diamond company. Ben’s rival co-workers, Judy Spears and Judy Green (Michael Michele and Shalom Harlow), who were at Composure magazine earlier in the day and are aware of Andie’s new assignment, set Ben up to have him pick Andie as the girl to test his theory on.
