DESCRIPTION: Wikipedia
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a 2003 romantic comedy film.
The film was directed by Donald Petrie and stars Kate Hudson
and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on a short cartoon book
of the same name by Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long.
PLOT
The film tells the story of a journalist, Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson),
who works for a magazine called Composure as the "How to..." woman.
Shes bored and wishes she could write more about important things,
such as politics, economics, religion, poverty, and so on. She soon
finds herself writing an article called "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."
Andie tells her boss that, to write more freely and creatively, shell
date a man and do all the wrong things women tend to do in
relationships, and record her experiences for the article.
At the same time, advertising executive Benjamin Barry
(Matthew McConaughey) tells his boss that he can make
any woman fall in love with him in just ten days. To prove it,
hell find a woman and bring her to the upcoming company
ball as his date. If he succeeds, he gets to be in charge of
the advertising for the new diamond company account
otherwise headed by his boss.
Bens rival co-workers, Judy and Judy, who were at
Composure Magazine earlier and are aware of Andies
new assignment, conspire to have Andie and Ben meet
that night and start their quests. Neither Andie nor Ben
reveal their true intentions. Andie puts Ben through
various experiences to make him quickly break up
with her, but Ben sticks around in to make her fall
in love with him. Andie acts in a possessive way,
interferes with Bens Poker night, and takes him
to a Celine Dion concert instead of a New York
Knicks basketball game. Ben stays with her
despite everything and both reveal their true
motives at the end, but their initial desires
have changed.
REJOINDER:
I personally found an emotional enclave as I watched this movie
as a reply to my queries about the male psyche. Men desire women
but they will never abandon their freedom. But some pursue marital
bond as an answer to their desire for stability...only to separate if time
has proven that the relationship could not go on.
Some stay married because of responsibility. This confuses me.
Why men want to own but does not want to be owned? Why lovers
submit to each other but they still change as time goes by.
My answer is just like yours, for nothing is static and everything
will not stay in its original state forever.
