Guilty pleasure time! I LOVE “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days ”! Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are wonderful together in this fun, funny and touching story. In short, it’s about two people trying to use the other for their own professional gain but something unexpected happens along the way while pretending to care about each other.
The entire cast was enchanting as well. That’s always the sign of a good movie. Every little role was filled perfectly by excellent actors. The friends are believable, not just fillers or props used to setup jokes. They also reveal a lot about the main characters, providing subtext that only adds to the enjoyment and enhancement of the love story.
The movie shows you that no one can control that beast known as love. It’s a magical ethereal thing that no one knows when it’ll strike or how it happens. There they were, learning every little thing about each other, the good and the bad and blammo!
Here’s the trailer to whet your whistle
One of the sweetest scenes ever is when Andie (Kate Hudson) goes to Ben’s parents house and meets his whole family and gets to learn a lot more about him and starts to realize that she actually has feelings for him. It’s a tender moment that gets you. The song “Feels like Home” is a perfect selection for the scene and movie.
The other great song for the movie by Keith Urban, “Somebody Like You” during a sweet montage of the two lead characters falling for each other despite their devious plans
Here’s the full song and official music video
Whenever I’m down I’ll pop this movie in or play this music video and I feel fantastic immediately!
*Spoiler Alert!*
Here’s the ending when Ben calls her bluff.
