ONE OF THEM IS LYING, SO IS THE OTHER: HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS

One of them is lying, so is the other...This is a wonderful romantic comedy:) I liked it very much. Actually, before watching it, I understood that there will be a strong love between the couples athe end. And this is just like that in the movie.

The movie tells the relationship of two couples: Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson)and Benjamin Barry(Matthew McConaughey). Neverthelss, this is not as you think. It is a strange relationship. Andie is a writer of editorials for women’s magazine “Composure”. She wants to write what she thinks and believes instead of what her editor thinks and believes will get people to read. One day, Andie comes to the rescue of one of her friends, Linda, who risks her job. And worse, she felt much embarrassment after failing to think of material for the new issue because of a recent breakup. The split of Lİnda and her darling becomes a big inspiration for Andie’s new article in which she will explore the ways in which women scare off their potential suitors. To do so, she decides she needs to find a man, and then she needs to start a relationship with him, and then do all those things that dig under his skin. The dialogues related to this moments are very comic:) I noted the most entertaining one:)

The Boss: So what you gonna do?

Andie :l'm trying to...''And only then will the people of Tajikistan know true and lasting peace.''

The Boss: Andie, it's brilliant.lt's really moving. But it's never going to appearin Composure Magazine.

As the victim, Benjamin is chosen. In fact, Benjamin chooses her. Benjamin is an advertising professional. And what did draw my attention is that Benjamin has an name that starts with the next letter of the alphabet after Andie’s:) I do not if this is a coincidence; nevertheless, it is very interesting, is not it:) As all you can predict and conveniently, he and Andie meet at a bar. Most probably, all of you has understood that she is there to find an victim. Of course Benjamin's goal is not different from Andie's:) He is there to get a coincidence with a girl to fall in love with him. Indeed, if he is able to find such a girl, He will win a bet and get the important new client looking at his firm.

As usual, these two begin a love affair. Actually, Andie's choosing such a way is pointless. If Andie is writing about the “common” things women do to drive men away, she doesn’t need to actually go out and do those things to an unsuspecting man. She could just ask women and—here’s a concept—men what those things are and why they think it gets on men’s bad sides. To do what Andie does is just cruel, really, but it adds that all-important element of conflict—no matter how desperate the attempt to do so may seem. Then there are her questionable techniques for success. At one point, Andie takes Benjamin to a couple’s therapist, who is actually the dumped friend in disguise. The article should never see the light of day because of this. First, I’m sure there’s some kind of law against that degree of fraud. Second, what kind of material can you get from it except falsified and useless. What if such therapy is a valid way of fixing relationships? Third, I hope her aspirations for legitimate writing aren’t true, because I don’t want that kind of journalist around.

Benjamin is also in the wrong way. The key difference, though, is that while Andie is purposely working to devastate a relationship, he is going above and beyond to keep that relationship alive. There’s also the problem with the way in which the bet is made. Benjamin invades a private meeting to try and convince his boss to give him the big important account. In any real world situation, he’d be risking his job or at least be asked to leave immediately so as not to embarrass anyone. But this is the movie world where the boss simply doesn’t care. Maybe it’s because more people could get hurt by what she’s doing. Even, she involves his family in her lie. But ultimately, Andie is worse than Benjamin. Nevertheless, I did not like the way Benjamin eats lobster on their first date. I doubt no woman would allow the possibility of being alone with him:)

The lanuage in the movie is very clear and understandable. I did not have difficulty. I have learned new words. "Rattlesnake" is one of them. I heard the word while Andie was talking with her girlfriends. She said: "A brand-new houseon the road side, and it's made outof rattlesnake hide." Rattlesnake means a poisonous American snake that makes a noise like a rattle with its tail when it is angry or afraid.

Another new word for me is "giddy". Benjamin uses this word while he is talking with his boss and his colleques about the importance of diamons in order to make a woman fall in love with a man." He says: "Selling a diamond to a womanis like making her fall in love. She has to feel giddy,desirous, adventurous,and desperate." "Giddy" means feeling that everything is moving and that you are going to fall.

"Goofy" is the other new word. While Benjamin and Andie is gettting on the motorbike, Benjamin says her: "You get to wearthe goofy-looking helmet." Actually, "goofy" means silly, stupid.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days grows more and more tedious as the couple continues to hide their individual secrets and becomes annoying once things between them (and the movie itself) get serious and go beyond the bet and the article. The last series of scenes grows worse because it just continues to set up big scenes where everything could be resolved in the big, dramatic way they’re going to be resolved anyway, but the movie keeps on going. Do not forget to watch it:)
