Your average romantic comedy. Butler and Heigl have fun with the roles but nothing else in this film tries to impress or entertain above the average level. Standard.

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are charming and funny at times. However, The Ugly Truth is immensely predictable and overly cliched, lacking both intelligence and chemistry between its leading actors.

Gerard Butler is hilarious and Katherine Heigl is great and one of the more unique actresses in Hollywood. Together they have great chemistry in The Ugly Truth. The only real flaw in my opinion is how predictable the movie is though. LikeGerard Butler is hilarious and Katherine Heigl is great and one of the more unique actresses in Hollywood. Together they have great chemistry in The Ugly Truth. The only real flaw in my opinion is how predictable the movie is though. Like most chick flicks, five minutes into the movie you know exactly how it's going to end. The crude humor is somewhat fresh in the genre though, as it's more of a guy comedy style, so it's still worth a watch.… Expand

It is weird to watch the female of the species feed upon themselves like cannibalistic savages from an era long departed. I can only assume that these writers (all women), knew exactly what they were doing and did so either for $$$ or It is weird to watch the female of the species feed upon themselves like cannibalistic savages from an era long departed. I can only assume that these writers (all women), knew exactly what they were doing and did so either for $$$ or because they actually believe that women have regressed to pre ice age mentality. Many of the lines are funny, and thus the 4 rating, but the concept is so chauvanistic and misogynistic that I am amazed so many women like the movie. Maybe the writers have seen a trend amongst yonger women back to the hormonal, look how beautiful I am, look how dumb I am and how my "man" can control me era of previous centuries. If, so, this movie will not help as the concept will rise light years above the heads of those individuals who will revel in the mundane, insipid and demeaning ideas of this movie.… Expand

Very good date movie. The personalities of both main characters was eerily similar to that and me of the girlfriend. She enjoyed it quite a bit, as did I. Butler's character was very amusing, and sure, the development's at the end Very good date movie. The personalities of both main characters was eerily similar to that and me of the girlfriend. She enjoyed it quite a bit, as did I. Butler's character was very amusing, and sure, the development's at the end were predictable but it was an entertaining and funny flick through and through. It's nothing compared to forgetting Sarah Marshall, but not much is... Definitely worth watching with your significant other.… Expand
