ABOUT THE MOVIE

Donald Petrie directs the spiffy romantic comedy How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days based on a clever screenplay by Kristen Buckley, Brian Regan, and Burr Steers. Kate Hudson, known for her endearing performance in Almost Famous, plays the role of an ambitious journalist who surprisingly develops feelings for the man she is deliberately spurning, and she does it with great perkiness and humor. Matthew McConaughey also shines in the film, playing a selfabsorbed male who learns the importance of exhibiting patience, self-sacrifice, and the willingness to bear all things for love. How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days is a funny and entertaining exploration of sexual politics that proves equanimity in a man is a great aphrodisiac. Although Donald Petrie has directed other films such as My Life in Ruins and Miss Congeniality, How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days remains his most grossed movie to date.
