Here's Where You Can Watch How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
If you're a fan of romantic comedies, then you're likely aware that the early 2000s was a time full of films in the genre, many of which are still widely watched today. There was 2001's "Kate and Leopold," where Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman star as love interests from different eras. Later in the decade came "Bride Wars," in which Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway portray best friends who turn into enemies when their weddings are booked for the same day. And who can forget the divisive holiday classic, "Love Actually?"
Amongst these examples is another in which Hudson also starred — 2003's "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." Directed by Donald Petrie, Hudson stars alongside Matthew McConaughey while he was still in his rom-com era, boasting movies like "The Wedding Planner," "Failure to Launch," and "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."
"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" follows Andie Anderson (Hudson), an advice columnist who pitches a story on what not to do in relationships. The plan is to showcase all the mistakes women often make when in a new relationship. Looking for a man to test the mistakes on, she meets Ben Barry (McConaughey) — an advertising executive. Little does Andie know, Ben has an ulterior motive of his own — he's made a bet with a colleague that he could make any woman fall in love with him in the span of just 10 days.
