How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days


Published in the Suntimes newspaper Roger Ebert reviews the movie "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days." He begins off by saying "I am just about ready to write off movies in which people make bets about whether they will, or will not, fall in love. The premise is fundamentally unsound, since it subverts every love scene with a lying subtext." This opening to his review is very bold and his opinion on the movie seems to be very clear from the beginning. He gave the movie a dismal one and a half stars. Perhaps it is because he is a guy and this sappy romance did not appeal to him as say an action film would have. He goes on to talk about the characters and says "The hardest thing is to sympathize with two people who are denying their feelings, misleading each other, and causing pain to a trusting heart." Overall Roger Ebert does not seem to be very impressed by this film.
