"How To Make A Movie In Two Years","Why The Sexes Battle,", & "Girls Night Out Featuretes," Keith Urban "Somebody Like You" video,Commentary by Donald Petrie

This is a paint-by-numbers romance with a bit of a chauvinist twist. Kate Hudson Stars as Andie Anderson as a writer for composure Magazine, tired of writing teen advice columns but gets suckered into writing an advice column called "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days." ***

She basically tells her boss I'll date a guy and do this just to see how long It'll take before he dumps me and I'll write about it." At the same time, Ben Barry played by Mathew McConaughaey also tells his boss that he can also woo any women in the same time frame. Their co workers conspire against them as well, and of course, Andie annoys the living hell out of Ben by doing all sorts of asinine stuff like making baby noises, she screws up his poker night , and tricks him into going to a Celine Dion concert instead of a Knicks basketball game. ***

But through it all, Ben stays with her, winning the bet. Even though Ben reveals the real reason he stayed with her, they do fall in love in spite of it. ---

Image and Sound:

A good transfer. Paramount did a great job remastering the picture. Considering the movie came out back in 2003, as just minor touchups were needed here and there. Sound quality fares just as well, though this is a front-heavy movie that mostly emphasizes dialogue. ---

New to this version "How To Make A Movie In Two Years", "Why The Sexes Battle,", & "Girls Night Out Featuretes," , older content form the original release include commentary by director Donald Petrie, deleted scenes with alternate commentary by Donald Petrie, and a music video by Keith Urban "Somebody Like You"
