Hot Chick: Kate Hudson

Hot Chick Factor: 9.75!  Very nice rebound from "Almost Famous"

Synopsis -- A writer for a Cosmo-type magazine volunteers to do an article on what happens when women do all the don'ts in a relationship over a 10-day period.  Meanwhile, an advertising executive makes a bet with his boss that he can make any woman fall in love with him in 10 days in order to win a chance at a prized diamond-manufacturer account.  Crazy, huh? Surprisingly (well, not really, otherwise there'd be no movie), they meet and do dastardly things to one another for completely ulterior motives!  As in all romantic comedies, however, they begin to fall in love... or do they?

Short declaratory phrase in an attempt to get quoted in TV trailer, ad, or cover box --

"Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson make the best couple ever!  I want them to be my best friends, and then get Matt to let me bone his girl by losing a bet in a card game, causing unbelievable grief and embarrassment when the truth comes out!"

Nate's review:

Let me tell you something, I am one hell of a sucker for a romantic comedy.  I don't really know why.  Perhaps it's my sentimental and romantic nature or some bullshit like that.  Also, I have an ex that acted a lot like Hudson did in the movie (not the bad relationship stuff but just a little kooky).  She was fucking nuts!  But in a fun way, most of the time.  One night after a long period of intensely debaucherous behavior, she adamantly insisted (CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED)!  Anyhow, even given the somewhat contrived nature of the plot, this movie was actually going along pretty well until the diamond-party scene.  I was willingly suspending my disbelief and marveling at Kate Hudson's hotness.  But at the party the story lost all credibility and fell completely apart.  It was as if the writers gave up.  I mean, I can understand a drunken jilted lover causing a scene, but they played it off too well for a party as posh as that.  People who have seen the movie know what I am talking about, you sons of bitches you.  It's just not right.  I was also impressed with McConaughey's accent.  For a guy that's supposedly from Staten Island, he sure does sound a lot like he's from Texas.  Anyhow, it's not a bad movie, and the performances are definitely what carry the film from the stars on down.  Props to Lilith and Chandler's Crazy Roommate guy, as well as A Guy Thing Supporting Actor guy.  You will soon be worthy of a star on the walk of fucking fame.

Rating: 20 out of a 24 pack of Budweisers consumed in the movie
