How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Full Screen Edition)

Oscar® nominee* Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and Matthew McConaughey (A Time To Kill) give the battle of the sexes an outrageously unexpected twist in the runaway comedy hit the Daily News applauds as "Hilarious!" As the "How to..." columnist for trendy Composure Magazine Andie Anderson (Hudson) agrees to write a first-hand account about what it takes to drive a man out of your life...in exactly 10 days. At the same time eligible ad agency bachelor Benjamin Barry (McConaughey) accepts a high-stakes bet that he can lure any woman into falling head-over-heels in love with him...also in 10 days. The resulting romantic head-on collision ignites a series of deliriously comic deceptions that prove when it comes to true love...your heart cannot tell a lie. From the director of Miss Congeniality it's the year's most wildly entertaining romantic romp in the comedy smash David Sheehan of CBS-TV hails as "The ultimate chick-flick for guys!" *Academy Award® nomination Best Supporting Actress Almost Famous 1999 DVD Special Features: -Commentary by Director Donald Petrie-Mapping Out the Perfect Movie - Cast & Crew Interviews -5 Deleted Scenes with Director's Commentary-Mapping Out the Perfect Location - Featurette -Music Video - "Somebody Like You" by Keith Urban -Widescreen Version Enhanced For 16:9 TVs -English Subtitles -Dolby Digital: English 5.1 Surround English Dolby Surround French Dolby SurroundSystem Requirements:Starring: Matthew McConaughey Kate Hudson Adam Goldberg Shalom Harlow and Michael Michele.

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
