Our take on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Donald Petrie's 2003 romantic comedy stages a battle of wills between two people with hidden agendas: magazine writer Andie must prove she can drive a man away in ten days, while ad executive Ben bets he can make any woman fall for him in the same span. When they unknowingly target each other, their scheming collides in escalating pranks, mixed signals and outrageous romantic sabotage. Breezy and knowingly silly, it's a glossy studio rom-com powered by dueling manipulations and undeniable star chemistry. Ideal for viewers who want an easy, playful date-night watch about deception giving way to real feeling. If you like sparring couples and comic misunderstandings, this charms without demanding much.
