User Review - 10/10 by Allan CLong hidden by Bob Hope, this movie is finally available from TCM!
User Review - 10/10 by Classy JShare This: Synopsis: Kate Hudson twinkles as the heroine of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a magazine writer assigned to date a guy, make all the mistakes girls make that drive guys away (being clingy, talking in ...( read more )baby-talk, etc.), and record the process like a sociological experiment. However, the guy she picks--rangy Matthew McConaughey--is an advertising executive who's just bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in ten days; if he succeeds, he'll win a huge account that will make his career. The set-up is completely absurd, but the collision of their efforts to woo and repel creates some pretty funny scenes. McConaughey's easy charm and Hudson's lightweight impishness play well together and the plot, though strictly Hollywood formula, chugs along efficiently. At moments Hudson seems to channel her mother, Goldie Hawn, to slightly unnerving effect. --Bret Fetzer

User Review - 6/10 by Gemma BMy 1st Katharine Hepburn film, and by no means my last... This film is moderately average ~~~ not bad at all in fact... I like the scene where the Russians are trying to capture Katharine back, but end up taking hostage the wrong one....hehe
User Review - 6/10 by Lilian PQuite funny actually, I enjoy Katharine Hepburn's movies a lot :)
User Review - 6/10 by Tom HDecent comedy revolving a clash between a classic 50`s american guy and a iron willed commie woman. Bob Hope was quite amusing.
User Review - 6/10 by Kenny Vno longer out of print I caught this on TCM (love u guys) it is a reworked version (#3) of 'ninotchka' behind the greta garbo version and the musical version 'silk stockings"
User Review - 6/10 by Stevee TThey're probably a bit too old to be convincing in their military roles, but this is a gentle cold war comedy that pleases rather than impresses.
User Review - 4/10 by Richard DVery minor reworking of Ninotchka with Hope and Kate, whose accent is all over the place, sharing little to no chemistry. The script is weak but if Cary Grant, her best costar, had appeared in this as originally planned it might not have been a classic but because of their rapport a much better film than it is.
User Review - 4/10 by Sarah Lthis over-the-top movie is totally worth watching for Katharine Hepburn's phony Russian accent and zany costumes!
