I didn’t give a lot of thought towards this movie when I heard about it. “Ah, just another romantic comedy with the chick from Grey’s Anatomy”. My wife wants to see it, so whatever, and we go. It was actually good. I enjoyed the movie the whole way through. Katherine Heigl handles comedy very well and Gerard Butler did a great job of pulling off the “typical male” role.
The movie is about Abby (Katherine Heigl), a producer of a morning television show that is torn between good ratings or good content. Abby is against going to new lows to get the viewers and tries hard to keep things tasteful. When the ratings plummet the boss brings in Mike (Gerard Butler), the host of a public access show titled The Ugly Truth. These two characters clash from the beginning but Abby finds that Mike may have the knowledge she needs to land the dream guy.
Typical story, the two hate each other then they become friends while she pursues another guy and then they find out they really like each other. LAME! Not really, they keep it interesting with Abby and Mike’s one liners and crude humor. They take it to the edge but don’t take it too far to where it is uncomfortable, well… there was that one time.
Not a lot to this movie, simple story, lots of humor, and worth the watch. Can’t say go see it in theaters unless you need a date movie. I consider it a rental (Netflix) or something for HBO.
