When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I mean sure, it's a big, fat, moist ball of cliches, but despite the opinions of the current social climate hypocritical language & intent nazis, it's fricking hilarious, smart, charming and a subtly and nearly flawless examination and commentary on the interaction between romantic and potential romantic partners. The leads, Heigl & Butler have genuine chemistry and the affection between the two is apparent quickly. They are both a complete surprise to each other, proving again that it's lunacy and incredibly shallow to judge a book by it's cover. Yeah, the dialogue is raw. Once upon a time so was the reality. Social change is needed, and as a son, nephew, cousin, brother and father, any abuse directed at a woman/girl enrages me and compels violence in my heart. The #MeToo movement, in it's intent and heart is long overdue but is being undermined by extremists of a different sort than the standard issue creep. I'm not going to point fingers but I'm certain that everyone knows of what I speak. It's tragic that a significant portion of males are misogynistic toolbags and have no business being anywhere near anyone let alone a creature as complicated and wonderful as your average female walking amongst us. It's dangerous and emotionally and psychologically crippling to see the world in black and white. You automatically lower your potential for growth through basic human interaction immediately by limiting the field, platonically and romantically. We need to make sure that policies and attitudes are in place to insure that the abuses of the past cannot be repeated and although it's challenging it can and hopefully will be done. In lockstep with that change there needs to be social dialogue between everyone who might be reasoned with that it couldn't hurt us all to recover some of our humor and find a balance between keeping the scumbags at bay and yet also not being too rigid and paranoid that you make yourself unable to enjoy a joke, have a sense of humor. This film isn't perfect but it's a simplistic role model for that balance and quite frankly I miss the girls I used to be friends with, amazing ladies that gave as good as they got and actually usually got the best of men in our hilarious verbal light saber duals. Interesting, intelligent, sharp women and girls who wouldn't take crap from anyone and could easily handle your basic everyday creep and use their remarkable wit and words to make him regrets his shallowness and ignorance and hopefully felt inspired to do the work to be able to engage with the opposite sex or any potential partners with respect, empathy and sometimes crass and vulgar silliness providing everyone with mutually beneficial laughs in an ever darkening and stupid world. See the movie!! Lighten up!! Fight for what's right but stop taking yourselves so seriously because you're missing out on a complete and fulfilling experience with another person by employing a linear unforgiving baseline of expectations to and for your relationships. We need to smack the creeps down every time, so hard they never come back but we also very much need each other and need to enjoy each other and hopefully have some genuine if not always clean laughs along the way. The Ugly Truth is funny and if you don't laugh then I kinda think that maybe it's not the movie that's rude and wrong headed, it's you.

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.

If you're reading the above summary and have no idea what is going to happen in this movie then congratulations, you have clearly never seen any romantic comedy before in your life and this is as good a place as any to start. Predictable enough but no less enjoyable for it, thanks mainly to two enjoyable performances from two likable leads.Ducks instead of chicken? http://29ye.com To adhere to the truth - no matter where do not waver.

Throw in a few amusingly raunchy laughs (and Heigl proves herself to be a good sport as she manages a great "Meg Ryan" moment) and some straight talking from Butler's character and you have a date movie that will both entertain your partner and also raise a few amusing observations that you will both wave off as irrelevant to yourselves . . . . it's called denial (ha ha!).There's nothing new here, nothing deep, nothing more than a little bitter coating on the standard sweet pill that a romantic comedy can be but that's okay. It does what it sets out to do, it does it well and it's highly enjoyable for both sexes even while things wind towards an ending that you can see coming from the time the opening titles appear.
