London Evening Standard

She plays the ninny and the harpy, the baby doll and the ball breaker. It's Kate Hudson's film all right, but this actress is a cold squeeze, not well photographed either, and has the worst hairdo on the East Side.

Behind The Lens

Starring the exuberantly effervescent Kate Hudson and one of Hollywood's sexiest and most eligible bachelors, Matthew McConaughey, How to Lose has all the makings of a classic romantic comedy.

Cinema Crazed

Along with a terrible ending, there's also a numerous range of plot inconsistencies that insult the audiences intelligence.

The biggest problem I had with this film was the set-up and premise. It works on paper, but most of the movie is spent with the characters being simply awful.

Bel V I don't fancy Matthew, my daughter Emma 38 is in love with the actor, so this is a hard one to review for me and his leading lady is as goofy 🤪 and as child like, as her mum, in real life and as flat chested, it must be genetic. But as a leading pair they were well matched, her goofyness to his vain, confidence. The singing was like a cat going through a mangle, hard on the ears, Matthew really stole the show in this though, I believed his acting, though I've seen him in better movies since, thank goodness, I like seeing his dark side. I'd hate for him to be pigeon holed as a Rom Com actor, he has so much more to offer, I'd like to see more character acting from him as he ages, gangster stuff maybe?

It’s got laughs and chemistry, literally a repeat watch for me Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Amir A Decent Romcom and Kate Hudson Went Crazy With Her Role and I Need To Watch More Matthew McConaughey Movies Because His Charisma is Great! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Catarina W perdi completamente o foco a meio do filme, mas eu gostei desses dois. btw, o título mentiu pra mim Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Andrea C Commedia dal grande successo al botteghino soprattutto grazie alle due icone che si scambiano il pallino del gioco con un concentrato di bellezza e di simpatia.La sceneggiatura garantisce quel tanto che basta a rendere la commedia gradevole e non solamente un insieme di scarse battute e di fraintendimenti.Certamente alcune sequenze risultano essere troppo ridicole per poter essere definite divertenti ma nel complesso i momenti gradevoli sono sufficienti.Il format tra l'altro verrà poi riproposto in numerosi film del genere; a conferma della trovata ottima per le casse dei produttori.
