Romantic Comedies are funny creatures. 7 times out of 10 they can put a hyperactive child to sleep. But every once in a while one comes along that surprises you. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was my biggest surprise romantic comedy last year. It was charming, and really funny. It might also be the first romantic comedy I can remember that could really appeal to guys (because of the crazy things some women do in relationships). I thought for sure it was going to catapult Matthew McConaughey to the absolute “A” list (his performances in Frailty and Amistad should have taken him there already). But alas, he’s still pretty much considered a solid 2nd choice guy. Sometimes I just can’t figure Hollywood out.
Now Variety is reporting that a sequel is in the works. Already a book, How to Tell He’s Not the One in 10 Days apparently has a screenwriter already hard at work. No word yet on the casting, but it would be a huge mistake not to bring back McConaughey and Kate Hudson.
