If you call yourself a fan of American English movies, then you can’t miss out on the classic romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days 2003.” It stars the talented Kate Hudson and the charming Matthew McConaughey, and it’s a movie that captured hearts when it hit theaters back in February 2003.
Hudson plays the role of Andie Anderson, a magazine columnist, in the film. She comes up with the idea to write an article titled “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” where she explores the common behaviors that drive men away in relationships. Andie’s experiment involves testing her theories on none other than Ben Barry, a confident advertising executive played by McConaughey. Coincidentally, Ben has made a bet with his colleagues that he can make any woman fall in love with him within the same 10-day timeframe.
The movie, which also features Annie Parisse, Thomas Lennon, and Bebe Neuwirth, became an instant hit and grossed over $177 million at the box office.

Reflecting on the filming experience, Hudson, who is the daughter of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, described it as a unique time in the movie industry. She and McConaughey had the chance to go through the old-school Hollywood process of making movies, which is quite rare these days. They spent four months together filming “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” and even had a six-month shoot for their 2008 romantic comedy “Fool’s Gold.” Such extended shooting schedules are uncommon nowadays, unless you’re working on a big-budget Marvel movie or something similar.
During an interview, Hudson shared her thoughts on a potential sequel to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” She pondered what would have happened to their characters, Andie and Ben, if they were still together. According to her, it’s been enough time to make a movie about it, imagining that they might have gotten married and had children. However, she humorously suggested that they would probably be miserable, as Andie was an ambitious character who wanted more in life and felt stuck in her job. In her vision, Andie would likely be running something significant at this point.
Despite the possibility of a sequel, Hudson has maintained close relationships with her co-stars, including Kathryn Hahn, who played Andie’s best friend Michelle Rubin in the movie. They recently reunited in the film “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” released in 2022. Hudson expressed her admiration for Hahn, describing her as a down-to-earth and incredibly talented actress.
