How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days / USA / 2003
Here’s what separates this movie from other cheesy rom-coms: that moment near the end when Ben catches up to Andie on the bridge, to stop her from leaving town. (Oh come on, you already knew he goes after her — they always do.) In almost any other run-of-the-mill Hollywood romantic comedy, the man would at this point throw out a stinker like “I’d rather fight with you than make love to anybody else” (and bonus points if you can name that movie moment), but instead Ben opts for a restrained, “Where are you going?” It’s that restraint that makes this particular cheesy rom-com a cut above the rest.
That being said, the Hudson-McConaughey duet on “You’re so vain” could rival Katherine Heigl and James Marsden’s “Benny and the Jets”, in the oh-so-forgettable 27 Dresses, for worst couple karaoke ever.
