“BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID”
(star)(star)(star)1/2

One ’60s western that nearly everyone likes is this affable, picaresque tale of two charming outlaws on the run: Paul Newman’s feisty Butch Cassidy and Robert Redford’s enigmatic Sundance Kid. Written by William Goldman; shot by Conrad Hall. MPAA rating: PG.

“HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS”
(star)1/2
2:30 p.m., USA
Based on a cutesy, forgettable book of dating do’s and don’t’s by Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long, “How to Lose” tries to make us believe that true love can blossom between a Manhattan women’s magazine columnist trying to act like a selfish idiot for a column and an ad agency executive trying to win a lucrative diamond company account by betting he can make a total stranger fall in love with him in record time. Both, of course, are working on deadlines.
MPAA rating: PG-13
