Couch Potato Pickings | How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey

Showing on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm

In this battle of the sexes comedy, Kate Hudson plays a magazine journalist who sets out to get a guy to dump her within ten days as research for an article she’s writing. What she doesn't realise is that the advertising executive she picks for the experiment (Matthew McConaughey) has his own agenda: to get a woman to fall in love with him in 10 days

I’m sure if a woman really wanted to lose a guy, she could pull enough turn-offs out of the bag in ten minutes, never mind ten days. But I guess there wouldn’t be much a film then would there?

If you genuinely want to lose a guy in ten days then this film, with its inevitable happy ever after romcom plotline isn’t perhaps the best place for handy tips. Instead, check out this link for some useful advice, or just spend a few hours talking about the contents of your handbag, Sex and the City, your hatred of football, the amount of calories you’ve consumed so far this week or bridesmaids dresses. That should do the trick.
