This movie should have been called “How to Lose an Audience in 10 Minutes.”

The love story has been done so many times it is sickening. “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” tries to be a hip, new love story by adding a twist to the plot by basing the movie on a bet. The movie fails miserably with overdone scenarios that lack anything that would make you want to stay interested in what the movie is about.

-The movie tries hard to pull in viewers by putting big-name stars in it like Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. Even these superstars can’t save a movie that doesn’t deserve saving in the first place.

“10 Days” is about a woman who works at a Cosmo-type magazine called Composure and a man who works as an advertising executive. Andie Anderson (Hudson) is writing a story about the ways to lose a man in 10 days and Benjamin Barry (McConaughey) has a bet that he can make a woman love him in 10 days. The two are thrown together into a messy love affair that tries to be funny but really is just annoying and stupid.

The storyline may seem to be interesting and fun at the beginning, but after the first 20 minutes, you will be begging for the movie to be over. The movie goes along with Andie doing everything she can think of to get Ben to leave her. Andie leaves feminine products in the bathroom, lets her dog urinate on his pool table and she even goes as far as to name his penis “Princess Sophie.” Now how much more lame can you get than that, a woman knows a man for less than 10 days and decides it is acceptable to name his member.

Andie is a whiny, clingy and just plain annoying woman who makes you want to smack her by the end of the movie. No man realistically would be able to deal with her antics for more than a day. She is just doing what she is supposed to, right? She’s doing everything possible to make him leave her … but all she does is just make the audience want to leave the theater.

“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is just another chick-flick that will do OK in the theaters, but soon will be forgotten. Don’t waste your time seeing this movie in the theater – it’s not worth it. This is just another weak love story for women to drag their boyfriends to see this Valentine’s weekend.
