Unfortunately, I watched How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days last night. This is a terrible film. I don't think there was a moment that I enjoyed. The characters are unlikable, and the plot farcical and implausible. Somehow it reminded me of Down With Love, although it lacked that film's irony, and self-knowing ridiculousness. The actors were entirely miscast and lacking in chemistry. Matthew McConaughey is a character actor, really, although I thought he did just about work in Failure to Launch. Kate Hudson was awful. So, there is very little else to say about this movie. It should never have been made.
In other news, how many films has Kenneth Branagh made recently? Shakespeare's As You Like It, Sleuth, and now The Magic Flute. Odd.
