You can't lose something you never had.

How to lose a guy in 10 days – 1.5/5

My internal timeline may be wrong, but this movie feels like the segue point between the high concept romantic comedies of that late 90s early 2000s to the "we're just two charming people enjoying each others' company" that came along around the time of Knocked Up. When these two awful, lying people aren't being themselves, I hated this movie. But there's one scene, where for a very short five minutes they are just allowed to be the charming things that they are, that this movie has the breath of life. It proves out that a romantic comedy can be just interesting enough when it's just about watching two people fall in love.
