Kate Hudson Romantic Comedies, Ranked From Worst to Best

The charming Kate Hudson first mesmerized audiences in 2001's "Almost Famous" and has done a variety of genres ever since, most notably: the good old fashioned rom-com. But which ones stood out?  Water your love fern and see how we've ranked Kate Hudson's rom-coms, from "never again" to "Yeah, I watch this every time it's on." 

10. 'A Little Bit of Heaven'

Not all rom-coms are completely sunshine and happy endings, but this one is kind of an all-over-the-place downer. Kate's character Marley gets terminal cancer and then falls in love with a doctor, which we can totally deal with as a plot. But Whoopi Goldberg shows up as God for some reason and things get weird. It's just..no. 

9. 'Fool's Gold'

After "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," we thought a Hudson-Matthew Mcconaughey reunion could be nothing other than perfect. Well, we thought wrong. Really, really wrong. 

8. 'Alex & Emma'

A story within in a story can work and have a really great payoff, but this is not one of those times. Hudson plays some truly wacky characters, and even though she's having fun with it, it's just not working. Also, why can't Luke Wilson just type up his own book? It's really not that hard.

7. 'My Best Friend's Girl'

Dane Cook is a kind of a douchey "Hitch" who takes ladies on bad dates so they realize how good they have it in comparison with the guy trying to win their affection. Because women are that simple! Jason Biggs uses his services to get Kate and spoiler alert: Dane falls for her and of course she later finds out she was part of the cheap plan. This movie has no heart and no shame and is a prime example of when raunch goes bad. 

6. 'You, Me & Dupree'

Literally what is this movie? It's really dark and Matt Dillion's character has some actual mental issues he should see a specialist for. How was marketed as a comedy? We have so many questions.

5. 'Something Borrowed'

Everyone in this movie is actual garbage, except for John Krasinski's character. The whole premise is that Ginnifer Goodwin's character falls in love with her best friend's (Kate Hudson) boyfriend. They have an affair over an extended period of time and then she ends up with this boring piece of white bread! And in the end, she still wants her best friend to think she's a good person. Hoes before bros. Ovaries before brovaries. Uteruses before duderuses. All that being said, it is pretty entertaining and Krasinski is #boyfriendgoals.

4. '200 Cigarettes'

This movie is basically one of those Garry Marshall holiday movies before they existed (see: "Mother's Day,") except it takes place in 1981 and the craft service table probably wasn't as good. It's an ensemble about New Year's Eve in gritty Alphabet City, and features a variety of rando star faves like Gaby Hoffman, Casey Affleck, and Paul Rudd. It's no indie masterpiece, but it's a fun nostalgic romp with great costumes and the then virtually unknown Hudson's performance is memorable among the bunch. Courtney Love and Elvis Costello are also in this and we ain't mad at it. 

3. 'About Adam'

One guy dating three sisters at the same time is a very weird plot, and the movie feels more like an early '90s flick than something that came out in 2000, but it's oddly funny. And we're a sucker for Hudson rocking her naturally curly hair.

2. 'Raising Helen'

Manhattan-ite Helen works at a modeling agency and lives a super fab life until -- dun dun dun -- her life is suddenly turned around when her deceased sister leaves her her three children. This is a wildly unbelievable plot because Kate Hudson was like 25, kinda irresponsible, and not really fit to raise children. Bad call? Of course not! She learns a ton and forms an unbreakable bond the kids and falls in love with pastor John Corbett along the way. Yeah, it sounds dumb as we write out the synopsis, but it's charming and heartwarming and dare we say, underrated. 

1. 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'

This is everything a romantic comedy should be. A smooth talking ad exec meets a shiny-haired magazine writer who wants to "be taken seriously" as a journalist. She's part of a bet. He's the subject of an article. She finds out and feels used. So does he. Yes, it all seems like a big film cliche but you can't deny the chemistry of HudConaughey. You know you laughed at all of Andie's moves to push Benny away. And teared up when she went home to play BS with his adorable fam. Let's all agree -- that despite some truly ridiculous moments -- this is one of the greats, people. Frost yourself, indeed.
