‘How
to lose a guy in ten days’
By Sanath Weerasuriya
Most
of the young Colombo girls do not need ten days to dump a guy.
But Kate Hudson, the daughter of Hollywood’s top star Goldie
Hawn, took ten days to drive her boyfriend mad.
Andie Anderson
(Kate Hudson), Composure Magazine’s “How-To” columnist,
has a very unusual assignment and a quick deadline. She has to write
a firsthand account of all the things that women do to inadvertently
drive men away.... and she’s got to do it in 10 days. Now
she’s on a mission to find a guy, get him to fall in love
with her, then make all the classic dating mistakes so he’ll
dump her.
Too bad Andie’s
target is ad agency hottie, Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey),
who has just made a high-stakes bet with his boss that he can make
a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Does a faux relationship
based on deception stand a chance in a world where everyone says
they’re looking for honesty? You can bet on it!
“How
To Lose a Guy in Ten Days” by director Donald Petric is now
on at the Majestic Cinema, Colombo and Milano in Kegalle. At its
core, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is a metaphor for
the games people play in their unconscious efforts to protect themselves
from genuine intimacy.
Revolving around
two very charismatic individuals who look like they belong together
but who are in a situation that has disaster written all over it,
the film is full of surprises.
As for the
film’s two main stars, Academy Awards nominee and Golden Globe
winner Kate Hudson (“Almost Famous”) and Matthew McConaughey
(“Frailty”, “The Wedding Planner”), the
mix of romance and comedy in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”
appears to be made for them.
