over 4 years ago

Andie Anderson is a column writer in a famous magazine, aimed at women and doesn't really "write" about what she wants. However, he thinks that the more he pleases his boss, this one day will give him the opportunity to write whatever he wants. Therefore, the idea of an article called: How to lose a man in 10 days? .... Sincerely Andie, will carry it out and in the article will reveal his anecdotes lived in the course of those 10 days. But, with what Andie didn't count, he would run into Ben. A handsome man, loving and successful sales strategist.

That night, they both attend a party. It is there, when in a conversation in Ben's circle of friends, they decide to place a bet totally opposite to Andie's: How to fall in love with a woman in 10 days? Self-assured, Ben accepts and by chance of life, the woman chosen in the room is Andie. Ben argues that she is an attractive woman and it will not be any effort to win the bet.

Ben addresses Andie and talks with her. They decide to leave the party, and go to a place to have dinner and talk. Then, they go to Ben's apartment where they both wanted to have sex; but for the bets that both lead to piggyback; they stop... Andie, after a while he leaves the apartment and intentionally leaves his handbag, ensuring a second encounter with Ben. Inside the bag, there are two tickets to the Basketball game that night, Ben sends Andie's office a caravan of roses and then makes a phone call to express that he wants to see him that night and that both could go to the game.... From that moment, both begin a romantic relationship accompanied by funny and uncomfortable situations, where each one addresses the purpose of the original bet.

Important scenes from the movie:

Ben and Andie, they go together to the Basketball game. Andie doesn't want to let Ben see the game in peace, and every moment he asks for something from the cafeteria. A drink, oh no, this drink doesn't. A diet please!
Andie's sudden visit to Ben's apartment, where he takes her a vegan meal prepared by herself. While in that place, Ben had a "boys only" meeting. This upsets Ben.
Departure to the cinema. Andie insists on going to the movies, and in the middle of the movie she only knows how to talk and talk, is when another of the moviegoers is upset and furious tells Ben: put a muzzle on your old woman when you go out.! Ben is upset and this is when this third party in action, invites him to go outside; where he punches Ben in the face and sends him to the ground.
Andie tells Ben's mother to give him some pictures of him as a child. With these photos, he makes some montages and even children have..! This really baffles Ben, reason: fear of compromise.
Visit of Andie and Ben to a couples therapist. Everything, with the intention of lasting his love. However, she is not a couples therapist, she is simply a friend and co-worker of Andie. The lucky one takes Ben $ 300 an hour.

Andie, it only makes Ben's existence bitter. But instead, Ben just stands patiently. At the end of the movie, both lovers and prisoners of their own bets.

My opinion:

A movie of bets found and opposite. It is fun, with entertaining situations. A cast according to and synchronized with the plot of the film. It really is a good love movie, which you can enjoy alone or as a couple. It is a film from a few years ago, but it does not lose the humorous touch that characterizes it.

The only thing is that Andie's photomontage of the children she will have with Ben, are really ugly!
