How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (RT 42%)

In which we learn that Katherine Heigl would improve every movie.

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

Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader sounds fun at parties... but he's not wrong about Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS. He's just wrong about how enjoyable it is to see Ms. Hudson take a wrecking ball to a man that one host calls "too pretty" and the other thinks is too picky about names for his penis. It's clearly an episode about CLASSIC CINEMA and as such we eventually work our way around to the Best Picture snub that this film received for the 2004 Academy Award ceremony and if a sprinkle of Kathryn Hahn is ever enough.

Also Katherine Heigl. Romcom talk is pointless without paying respect to The Queen. Even if she is not in this movie. Enjoy!
