Critic Reviews

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    More an exercise in how to lose an audience in 10 minutes.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Both lovers are duplicitous creeps -- in a perverse way they're made for each other.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is yet another awful romantic comedy. I thought the film had a promising start, but the film falls apart. Matthew McConaughey is a pretty good actor, but I think he's wrecking his career with all the bad rom-coms that he's starred in. He's… More

    Hudson and McConaughey have chemistry together but the plot falls a bit short like in most rom-coms.

  • Dead A


    It was predictable but I found this quite entertaining as well.
