Celebrate the 21st Anniversary of ‘How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ With 21 Memorable Quotes

By

While critics panned How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days over a predictable script, disappointing conclusion, and a failed battle of the sexes premise, the movie has become a beloved rom-com over the years — thanks in large part to the talented ensemble, including Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Kathryn Hahn, Adam Goldberg, and Thomas Lennon. 

The movie follows hot-shot advertising executive Benjamin Barry who, to win an account, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days…that woman just so happens to be Kate Hudson’s Andie. With a lit bit of perverse humor, wit, and palpable chemistry between its easy-on-the-eyes leads, the film delivers true romantic tension in a city primed for rom-coms: New York. To celebrate the film’s 21’s anniversary, let’s look back on 21 of the most memorable quotes from the movie.
