The original movie followed the cat-and-mouse romance between magazine columnist Andie Anderson, played by Hudson, and McConaughey’s bro-ish advertising executive Benjamin Barry. Andie, as research for an article about modern dating, seduces Benjamin and then transforms herself into the girlfriend from hell.
Benjamin bets his boss he can make any woman fall for him, and Andie is his target. With a huge campaign on the line, he’s determined to make things stick. Naturally, true love blossoms from the absurd circumstances.
With no writer attached, we have zero plot details for the sequel.
