How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days [2003]

starring: Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Adam Goldberg, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Parisse
directed by: Donald Petrie

Release Date October 06, 2003
This film is so funny and also at the end very romantic. The chemistry betwwen Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey is really good and the acting is belivable. The story line is original and unique with parts that will make you laugh and parts that will make you want to hide under the cushion 'casue of the cringiness she causes to him.

The story is basiclly about a girl who is a journalist and wants to write more serious stuff but her boss says that she can't, she comes up with an idea "how to lose a guy in 10 days", then he on the other hand agrees to a bet with someone that he can take someone that loves him to a party. I won't tell any more.!! But it's a completely enjoyable film. Maybe not for families but for a night in, or ... Read More:

Miss Congeniality [2001]

starring: Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, Candice Bergen, Ernie Hudson
directed by: Donald Petrie

Release Date November 12, 2001
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A very funny film, with a first rate cast, MISS CONGENIALITY deals with examining the value of an American institution. When I was growing up one of the yearly television events I always recalled was the "Miss America" pageant (as well as the other beauty pageant for "Miss Universe"). Watching Bert Parks' singing the "Miss America" song was on the same level as watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or the Superbowl. In fact, when Parks was fired from "Miss America" in the 1980s, the pageant lost many viewers out of sympathy with Bert.

But that dropping of Parks was an example of what the producers of the show faced in the 1980s. There had been dwindling interest and ratings for several ... Read More:

Miss Congeniality / Miss Congeniality 2 - Armed And Fabulous

starring: Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, William Shatner, Regina King
directed by: Donald Petrie, John Pasquin

Release Date July 11, 2005
Ok, I agree with the previous review in that you won't be guessing the plot, but if you enjoyed the first movie you will enjoy the second. The second movie has a similar theme to the first in that our heroine has to save the day, and Sandra Bullocks' type casting as the adorable yet silly Gracie Hart lends itself well to the popcorn movie of it's genre. It'll leave you smiling. A good film to put on to cheer yourself up. Not life changing, not challenging but fun and enjoyable.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days / Sliding Doors / Ghost [2003]

starring: Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey
directed by: Donald Petrie, Jerry Zucker, Peter Howitt

Release Date October 04, 2004
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, possibly one of my favourite movies - it will make you laugh out loud and make you feel good for a long time after watching it. Although possibly a far fetched story line, it has good morals, is believeable and the characters make you fall in love with them from the beginning. Enough said - go and watch it!
Sliding Doors - It has been a while since I last saw this movie, purely because I find Gwenyth Paltrow so wet and annoying. The story line is good and puts raises a lot of questions - what if?? Definitely watch this one especially if you don't find Gwenyth Paltrow as irritating as I do.
Ghost - an absolute classic if, a bit dated. Brilliantly cast, Whoopi Goldberg steals the show in this movie that will have ... Read More:

The Associate [1997]

starring: Whoopi Goldberg, Dianne Wiest, Eli Wallach, Tim Daly, Bebe Neuwirth
directed by: Donald Petrie

Release Date May 02, 2005
This is great movie, a great comedy and much more. This is not just another Whoopi Goldberg comedy but a tale of survival when the chips are down. The lacing of hard life lessons with humour makes this a must see by everyone who not only loves comedies but meaningful movies. To have the courage to stand up for yourself, face being knifed in the back, quit your job and build up a firm from nothing in a finance world of wall street dominated by men and even resort to inventing a fictitious male partner to stay in the game makes the Character played by WHOOOPI not only gutsy but a survivor. I found this story line riveting and filled with courage and valuable life lessons. I recommend it not just for the great comedy but also for the depth and meaning conveyed ... Read More:
