How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
- Romantic Comedy
- 2003
- 1h 56min
Andie Anderson writes the “How To” column for a women’s magazine called Composure and wants to write about something other than fad diets and lip gloss. Her editor, sharp as a paper cut gives her ten days to do something her column has never done: get a man to dump her. Across town, advertising executive Ben Barry is trying to land a diamond account by betting his colleagues he can make any woman fall in love with him in the same window. They are set up at a bar. They both think they’re running the experiment. Neither of them is.
Cast: Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Adam Goldberg

Our Mission
Back before streaming, households around Australia would settle in on the couch to watch the Friday night movie on linear TV — or swarm Blockbuster, racing for the latest new release.
Fast forward to endless libraries and infinite scroll, and the romance of the Friday night movie has fallen by the wayside. We’re bringing it back — reuniting people on the couch for a planned night of quality entertainment.
How We Choose
Simple. We think about the movies that have moved us, the ones that have stayed with us over the years, and the films that pass the water cooler test — would you tell your friends they have to watch this?
Every Friday, a new pick. Plot recap, why it’s this week’s must-watch, and where you can stream it.
