kate hudson isn't the best role model, she pretends to be someone she's not for a newspaper article. language isn't all that bad, mostly h--l, bulls--t but that's about it, sex content is kinda strong for a pg-13.

What Parents Need to Know
About How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Parents need to know that this movie has very mature material for a PG-13, including explicit and graphic sexual references and situations. There are references to impotence, orgasms, sex between people who do not know each other very well, and the appropriate name to give to genitals. Characters drink and smoke. Drinking to the point of drunkenness is portrayed as a way to handle unhappiness. There is also very strong language for a PG-13, including continuous use through one long scene of the word "bulls--t" in a card game. Most important, this is a movie in which the characters lie to each other and manipulate each other and make no effort to tell each other the truth, even after they have become very close.

Loved It!
This is now my absolute favorite movie. I've seen it about 4 times and can simply not get over how funny it was. As for content the big thing is that there is quite a bit of sexual humor (i.e. there are scenes in this movie that are full of it), mainly they are supposed to be geared to an older audience but there is nothing explicit shown. The language is pretty typical for a PG-13. the s word is used several times in a few scenes but nothing stronger than that. Overall this movie is great and if your at least 14 this is a great movie for you to see!

There are a few iffy scenes. Probably better for 13+.

excellent comedy
I really liked this comedy. I laughed out loud during much of it. I don't think it's appropriate for a child or younger teenager. Probably you need to be over 17 or 18 to even get a lot of the humor anyway.

Yay!
This is a really great movie! it's witty, funny, and has a good ending. I really like that it's not too predictable either. yay. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were very convincing. The whole movie was good and alot more appropriate than they're saying. it had nothing really "explicit." Language wasn't that bad, and sexual stuff wasn't that bad either. 15+? i dont think so. try 9+.

Great!
This movie was excellent. My parents thought it was cute, but it definitly is geared towards the 26 & under crowd. Kate Hudson's character shows two great sides of women: the woman who wants to succeed, and the woman who wants to have fun. Her character, an author of a column in a fashion magazine, wants to write about relevent, world topics while she is forced to write about fashion how-to's. This is her story of having fun with a guy for a column who hopes to dump him in two weeks but falls head-over-heels in love with him. It's funny, cute, and very appropriate. There were two scenes that might be a little bit embarassing to watch with your parents if you aren't comfortable with slight sexual conduct, but it was clean and nothing was shown that wouldn't normally be seen.
