How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

There's not a lot to say about How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days except that I fell asleep on the couch watching it, woke up to find it had ended and I didn't care enough to pick up and watch it again.

The initial problem is the setup -- that two people just coincidentally fall into strange situations (she volunteers to meet a guy and lose him by doing all the wrong things while he claims he can meet a girl and make her fall in love with him -- to prove a strange point about diamonds, I think? -- and both just happen to have to do it in the same ten days). Now it would have been much simpler and cleaner and more believable had their friends set them up instead of all this being a coincidence.

Kate is cute and Matthew is from Texas. This should be a winning combination, right? Evidently not so much. (yawn) Better luck next time.
