Day 23: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

I used to really get offended when a guy said to me about his ex, "She was a real psycho". I thought it such a pathetic way to sum up a relationship. But this movie, well this movie proves that if all men had dated at least one of these kind of women at some point in their life, then they are justified in calling their ex a Psycho. And I think that the reason why I never really sat through this whole movie till today was because the character Kate is playing for her magazine article is really so irritating and awful, I couldn't stand to watch. But sitting through the whole movie, I must applaud Kate and Matt on really defining the moments that their characters are genuniune with each other and when they are playing the roles they both set out to play. And the chemistry is really there. So here we are now, day 23 (much late due to my very bad week) and oh what a relief it is to finally indulge in a light, non-brainer RC! I'm so glad to have this day off, I want to hurry up through this check list so I can plunge into another one! How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days:

• Giddy: Matt without his shirt on I think is cause for mild swooning (I've thought I should start a section of this check list for women over 30 only, who would appreciate the muscle catagory and the baby catagory... but well... I'll just leave that off and keep it here, in Giddyland), The cute character names: Andy Anderson and Benjamin Bennet, whoa the chemistry when they kiss, LOVE FERN! (after seeing this movie, my husband - back when he was my boyfriend bought me a plant as a joke - cause I killed all plants - still do- and called it our "Love plant" and strangely- its one of the only ones that has survived - barely, but there is green there), Naming his penis Princess Sophia, when she comes out in the yellow dress and he reaches up to his heart and says honestly "You are beautiful" (I really don't hear that enough in my life- do you dear reader?), Embarrasing moments all over the place, and ofcourse the end where he runs after her.
  
• Lie: Mmmm Double Header - he's made a bet to have her fall in love with him, and she's writing an article on how to get a guy to dump her in less than 10 days.
• Big Emotional Outburst: We have this one start at a great moment, while embarrasing each other by singing Your So Vain and it leads all the way outside and ends with a fantastic line "You can't lose something you never had".
• Dance Sequence: Nope.
• Wedding: Nope.
• Rewatchable: I think I have to be in the right mood to be able to withstand the seriously irriating things that this woman does. But yes.
• Love: Ah, they start off fascinated, but then get down to work, and then hate eachother but their careers mean so much that they fake it until they fall for eachother despite it all!
  
• Fantasy: We have some pretty nice jobs that pay soo well for great apartments in Manhatten again, and we have Matt without a shirt, and falling in love in less than 10 days...
• Journey of the Main Character: I think they both kind of learn that work is not worth it if you lose the one you love.... but that's mild. Honestly its really just them coming back to being themselves.
  
• Body Count: Nope (and after the week I've had, I sure could use a couple hilarious deaths).
• Music Montages: We have 3 that I counted folks! 3! One that leads to a hot and steamy making love in the parents bathroom scene, and one that leads him to chase her down the bridge leading to JFK.
  
• Strong Female: She drinks beer and likes basketball, but does that make her strong? She's playing the worlds worst weakest woman ever, and I suppose she's really some where in the middle.
