How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Only in the rom-com to end all rom-com would you have Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry as leads. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is just as frothy as it sounds from the outset—a film about a Cool Girl before the word became popular, whose chemistry with a little chauvinistic man's man is irresistible even if their romance is doomed from the start. She's a writer at a women's magazine seeking to carve out a place where she can write about important subjects—which, for the time being, necessitates ensnaring a man and torturing him to the point of breaking up with him. Meanwhile, he is only attempting to demonstrate that he can make any lady fall in love with him.
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey sold their characters with wit and flair, thoroughly immersing themselves in the roles while delivering some lines with just a smidgeon of cynicism. Andie had taken "Benny Boo-Boo... Boo-Boo-Boo" to a Céline Dion concert by the conclusion, and he has dragged, brought—her to Staten Island to meet his family after just a few days of dating. Yet, after they kiss and make up on the bridge after a genuinely embarrassing karaoke battle in front of everyone they know, it's nearly difficult not to applaud.
