How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days movie review
Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry each have a secret. Due to the machinations of two of his co-workers they are working at cross purposes, each to win a bet that will change the paths of their careers.
Andie is writing an article for the women's magazine she works for -- How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days -- a chronicle of how great women lose men by their behaviours.
Meanwhile, Barry has bet his boss he can make any woman fall in love with him in 10 days, and his gorgeous co-workers and competitors for a diamond advertising account manipulate him into choosing Andie from all the women in the bar that night.
So there we have it. She's determined to freak him out of the relationship with baby names and clinging and Celine Dion and he's equally determined to charm her despite her multiple personalities.
- Are you as nice as you seem?
- No.
It's an unlikely New York love story, told with witty characters and painful truths about the relationships between men and women.
Only one of them can win their respective bets. But will winning the bet mean losing a chance at love. It's fun, it's a modern romantic comedy, and it's filled with characters who make the time pass interestingly. A feel-good movie that tells a bit of truth along the way.
