It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

When a local TV producer encounters rating problems due to her boring and monotonous shows, she hires a person who's about to save their television through his nonconformist ways. They make an agreement to help each other out but what is about to happen will surprise both of them, either not knowing what to do and which is the best decision to take.It's a movie which surprised me with its idea and implementation, but especially with the feelings that it transmits. Don't think that you'll laugh at loud, but it will definitely make your day better, besides putting a smile on your face with almost every occasion. It also has a good dose of drama and romance, just to spice things up and make it even better. Its cast fits perfectly into the scene, managing to transpose you into the picture. It's an excellent comedy which has a quite interesting plot and a very good implementation.It's not much to say about it besides strongly encouraging everyone to see it if you haven't already.

The Ugly truth is actually a pretty good romantic comedy. Gerard Butler is good as the starring role, and so is Katherine Heigl. The plot is actually something that hasn't been done a lot before, and it's very interesting. The dialogue between characters and the script is pretty well written, there are many funny lines of dialogue that had me laughing hard. The two leads really work well together and have great chemistry. There are also some pretty funny physical gags in the film. Yes, it's pretty formulaic and yes it's pretty predictable, but it's still a very enjoyable fun and often times warm hearted movie. Katherine is really just so lovable and great in her role! And Gerard Butler is often times a very ass****ish character, but it's for good reason, and his character does progress over time, and becomes likable as well. 8/10 for The Ugly Truth.

My aunt recommended this movie to my family, saying that it was hilarious. I don't tend to like Rom-Coms as a rule, but I sat down and sat through the whole thing.Alarm bells started ringing with the date scene at the beginning. It was so painful to sit through. The rules that this character sets out, time spent discussing certain topics... It was frankly bizarre. The scene after when she phones into Butler's television show because she is offended; I was thinking "Well maybe this won't be so bad, she's standing up to a misogynist" but then I realised that this is guy she's going to fall in love with at the end. Does the guy's attitude about women change by the end of the movie? Barely if at all.Offensive to all sexes, offensive to movie goers and offensive to my intelligence

The movie's main theme is really directly depicted in the suggestive nature of the scenes. The comedy is full blown geared up for mature audiences. I like to compare this movie to Hitch (2005). I think that this is quite the opposite of Hitch, especially on the methods and the conflicts the two movies presented. But The Ugly Truth hits it harder and rougher to those who have the symptoms of serious passionate relationship issue syndrome. This movie's appeal comes from all those suggestive scenes, which also sets it way apart from Hitch. The acting is just another okay overall. Gerard Butler provided the right amount of balancing to Katherine Heigl's lead performance, which is for me not very special. I like how the movie builds just enough of the complimentary characters such as Joy and Colin.
