Kate Hudson twinkles as the heroine of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a magazine writer assigned to date a guy, make all the mistakes girls make that drive guys away (being clingy, talking in baby-talk, etc.), and record the process like a sociological experiment. However, the guy she picks--rangy Matthew McConaughey--is an advertising executive who's just bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in ten days; if he succeeds, he'll win a huge account that will make his career. The set-up is completely absurd, but the collision of their efforts to woo and repel creates some pretty funny scenes. McConaughey's easy charm and Hudson's lightweight impishness play well together and the plot, though strictly Hollywood formula, chugs along efficiently. At moments Hudson seems to channel her mother, Goldie Hawn, to slightly unnerving effect. --Bret Fetzer

From The New Yorker
Or, how not to make a movie. This pitiful battle-of-the-sexes comedy stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. She's a reporter writing a story about the irritating things women do that drive men away, he's a guy who makes a bet with his friends that he's irresistible. The painful scenes arrive in a jumble as the two leads shed all dignity performing juvenile high jinks. -Bruce Diones
