The TVI Take

Donald Petrie's 2003 Kate Hudson / Matthew McConaughey vehicle whose dueling-deception premise is more carefully structured than the romcom register typically allows. The 'Princess Sophia' bathroom-talk sequence is sustained physical-comedy work; the Carly Simon karaoke-reveal is structural payoff.

Hudson's most fully-realized leading-woman work.
