The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I was quite entertained with this movie especially after so many disappointments lately.Everyone should give this movie a chance. I can guarantee that you won;t be disappointed if you don't set your expectations too high.It;s very written and directly. I was guessing along the movie what;s going to happen next. There wasn't a boring moment in the movie.To all the haters , why all the hate. i don;t understand why would anyone hate this movie.Kudos to the director and writer. I would be watching Ms. Congenialty next.

"Andie Anderson" (Kate Hudson) is a journalist for a magazine that basically caters to a female audience. One day while helping her friend overcome a recent breakup she comes up with the idea for an article that focuses on certain mistakes some women make while dating that effectively destroy intimacy. To that end, she proposes to begin dating a complete stranger and in the process use certain tactics which are sure to cause the man to abruptly end their relationship within 10 days—and then write an article detailing everything. However, as luck would have it, she selects a man named "Ben Barry" (Matthew McConaughey) who just happens to have a bet with his boss that he can pick up woman up at random and in 10 days have her fall madly in love with him. The end result is that no matter how hard she tries he resists all of her efforts to get him to break up with her. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, despite a decent effort by everyone involved, the film itself ultimately ended up as a routine and predictable rom-com and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

It's a movie where the main characters are confident successful people who fall in love with each other. The characters are people who who have NEVER known : alienation, loneliness, injustice, or mental illness. The characters are people who have never been called a weirdo, fatty, ugly, nerd, queer. Who is this movie for? Who are the awful flawless well- adjusted people this movie was made for? There is nothing wrong with shallow people who have never examined their lives to find one another and have a perfect shallow unexamined romantic relationship--that said, who f*cking cares about people like that? That's like the Yankees playing the Cardinals in the World's Series, who f*cking cares?

This movie has everything a perfect rom-com needs to have : a slim blonde, a sporty man with six packs, an agenda (actually one on both sides) to move the story, the judgement day (the 10th day) to look forward to, some misunderstanding created by the side characters to stir the things up and then, the epilogue (the 11th day) with the car chase scene, final boy-girl confrontation and the last scene with the camera zooming out on a long and deep kiss. Everything in this movie is tried to be made so perfect that its perfection is what kills me. The irritating behavior of the girl increases so much, that 40 min into the movie, my digestive system gives up. I literally had cramps in my stomach. Her insensitiveness increases exponentially upto the three-fourths of the movie, and then suddenly she gives up to the love of the boy, even when there were two more days to the judgment day (thats because the directors need an emotional scene and a bed scene; and both those requirements are fulfilled by that change of heart, even if it not fits in the storyline). How could anyone watch a movie made with a recipé? Too cliché to watch. Recommended to only those who are the fans of either of the leads or like the cliché itself.
