MCT:August 26, 2008This film was somewhat creative, but not particularly funny for a film that was supposed to be funny.

An Ealing comedy that is part comedy and part conventional heist film. The idea is that a group of misfits decide to commit a robbery if only because they needed an adventure to get away from their mundane lives. The fact that the heist participants are generally good natured people is a big part of why the movie works, and Alec Guinness is as good as ever. Ultimately it's a pretty frivolous good time, but it works pretty well and was a lot of fun.

MCT:February 18, 2008Awesome heist/comedy movie. Alec Guiness is once again briliiant and funny. rather nail biting in places. A splendid bit of film with some really dizzying sequences.

Enjoyable british heist film. It was not as funny as I was expecting, but it still had its moments. Surprising twists and resolutions. Alec Guinness was a treat to watch.

I saw this film 40 years ago, and today I could see it again on a DVD - I still LOVE it! Both Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway are wonderful. An Ealing Studio film! FIVE stars!

Synopsis:
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 ...( read more )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 -

Not bad, considering it's from 1951. A great 'what's going to happen next?' sort of film. Great acting.

A charming old comedy which justifies my fond memories. It is less frenetic than modern movies, although the centerpiece is a chase after six golden Eiffel towers. It has a gentle spirit and wonderful acting.

Brilliant Ealing comedy, this pitch-perfect crime caper stars Alec Guinness in one of his finest performances, a timid clerk who decides to claim himself a fortune with a motely crew including Ealing mainstay Stanley Holloway. The film is probably the template for all bungling crime films, but mercifully lacks the slapstick of its imitators. Pacy and highly comical, this is definately worth your while. Watch out as well for Audrey Hpburn's tiny role as Chiquita in the first scene as well!

Excellent British comedy caper. Before "Bridge on the River Kwai", Alec Guinness was best known as a comic actor. This film is hilarious. A Must See!!

In the Top-Ten list of my Favorite Movies. Simply GREAT. I love Ealing Studios, and especially Alec, whom I would have loved to interview.

Hilarious. British comedy at its best . . . no, fuck it, comedy at its best. Watch alongside Kind Hearts and Coronets.
