Chick Flick is common slang young for romance genre's that are normally aimed at young teenagers- early twenties female, such films include twilight, dirty dancing, Notting hill and films like Titanic. They are all, great example of chick-flicks.
In today's blog, I am writing about the 2003 film How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, starring Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Thomas Lennon and Annie Parisse. It about a young woman who tries to make her way in the journalistic world writing a “how too” column for a beauty magazine where she took on a bet with a boss that she can lose a guy ten days too write a column about how to lose them in which hopefully the women reading it find out that if they want to keep a guy to not do this. But what happens if the guy who she trying to lose is trying to make her stay.
Here my top five on how to.
1. This film is a different way of telling a cheesy chick-flick movie, as a girl who mainly try to stay far away from the too cliché rom-com/chick-flick movie. This trying to lose a guy feel + the guy trying to win the guy instead the girl trying to win the man. Is a very funny, interesting spin to the genre.
2. Now this is the film I ever watch with Matthew McConaughey and I am impressed with his acting in this film or they did a lot of takes, because of the stuff the character Andie (Kate Hudson) It would be very hard to keep a straight face. So, I truly am applauding his acting talent.
3. One error with the storyline I mainly picked out on though. On day Sevan of Ten, they went to a fake couple therapist. The Therapist suggest a week away to visit Ben’s parents. The fake therapist knows Andi’s plan as she in on it. And by suggesting a week away meaning by the time they arrive back it will be at least twelve days but when they came back, they were on day nine, so that didn’t make sense.
4. The soundtrack of this movie fits with the overall film of the film, and as a noughties child, it brought back lot of happy memories of schools parties, birthdays parties and sitting in my room listening to the radio. (yes young people in the early 2000’s we still had radios) How to is more than a chick-flick it a journey back to the past to a time when you was younger, back when you are a child or even in your twenties yourself.
5. Cinematography, it won’t past as a blockbuster in today’s standard but for the era the cinematography is of a good standard. The closeness, lighting everything was tied in very nice and made you feel related to the character even when Andie called Ben’s Spike, Princess Sofia.
Overall, coming from a girl like myself who not a fan of chick-flick how to lose a guy in 10 days gets 5 stars from me. It is funny, and you kind of forget a time that you are watching a chick-flick. so totally recommend watching this to somebody who not a chick-flix fan.
