Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
nikusik This movie is such a nice comedy. I enjoyed it a lot. I can't stop laughing the entire time. I really recommend it to people who really neeed to laugh out loud.
tbills2 Katy Perry rules! Women run the world, and rule it. Men love Katherine Heigl. People are more willing to forgive a fat guy. Whistles catch people's attention. Duck tastes just like chicken. Women in ponytail buns and glasses look professional. People love Who's the Boss? reruns, especially the one where the vacuum breaks. Women rally. Women go to the bathroom in pairs. It's good to floss every day. Tall women dating short men is a little uncomfortable. It's not smart to take the liberty of printing out your date's profile or talking points then present them during dinner on your first date. Women love cats. Men love dogs. Men are simple and cannot be trained. It's good to exercise sometimes. Women love to fantasize with men. Katherine is not ugly, at all. No one watches intimate profiles of the mayor. Eavesdropping's okay. Men like a woman on top, just kidding. It's polite to knock. Men love local public access television programming. Women tend to get angry and bitter. Sex is healthy for you. Keep the doors closed so a bird doesn't fly in the office. The truth's offensive. Men and women wouldn't even speak if not for social pressure, status, and sex. Women are funnier than men. It's no big deal to say erection on network television. A married man and woman news anchor team is good for ratings. I love Bree Turner. Answering machines are old school. You're supposed to always be mean to 25 year old girls who think they're hot and can get any guy they want, NOT 14 year old girls. Blondes have more fun. Peeping outside your neighbor's window can be innocent if rescuing your cat from a tree, and dangerous! Women love men doctors. When a woman gets a man's number she should call right away and just say anything. Men too. Gerald and Katherine have good chemistry together. Men pick semi-naked chicks wrestling in strawberry-flavored goo over classical music and candlelit dinner. Oops, it's cherry. Wrestling babes swimming in Jell-O are tasty, if you know what I mean. Men aren't smart enough. Men love naked weather girls. Bad dreams aren't real. Katherine and Gerald are funny together. Women shouldn't listen to men's bad dating advice and should do exactly the opposite of what they say. Women tend to get desperate. Women know about mature emotions and deep abiding love and men know about lust, seduction and manipulation. Men and women work well together. Men are predictable. Women never criticize even if it's constructive because men are incapable of growth, change, or progress, for men self-improvement ends at toilet training and laugh at whatever he says even if what he says isn't funny, that's irrelevant because a fake laugh is like a fake orgasm, it's not good but a fake orgasm is better than no orgasm at all. Men are very visual. Women's choice in clothing makes a statement. All men are perverse. It's a woman's responsibility to inspire an erection, it's not his job. Katherine has a beautiful face, and a super hot bod. Women don't know how to flirt, and men can't handle it when they actually do. Katherine turns me on, there's no maybe about it. Women love baseball. Women tend to be clumsy. Katherine Heigl is sweet. It's okay to talk about sex to children. Primates are very intelligent. Women love men who are good with children. Gerald and Katherine are sexy together. It's fun to picture the opposite sex when you masturbate. Love starts from within. Vibrating briefs can be orgasmic, and so can watching Katherine change into them. I love Katherine Heigl and I love The Ugly Truth. Katherine in The Ugly Truth makes me horny.
Felix Norman 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
sddavis63 Truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of Gerard Butler, and I'm really not that familiar with Katherine Heigl, so I can't say that I went into this movie with particularly high expectations. But I have to confess that I was surprised. This is actually a very enjoyable movie, and at times (I'm thinking of the scene in the restaurant) it's downright hilarious. Heigl plays Abby, the uptight producer of a local Sacramento morning TV show who's always on the lookout for love but never finds it. Meanwhile, Mike (played by Butler) is the obnoxious host of an obnoxious talk show about relationships who gets hired for the morning show (against Abby's wishes) in the hopes of boosting ratings.OK. You can pretty much see where this is going to end up so it can't be considered especially original, and it's true that once it takes its predictable turn (which is thankfully fairly late in the movie) it becomes rather formulaic as opposites attract and romance blossoms, etc., etc. But the story goes on for a while before that angle gets introduced, and there's a lot of fun along the way, especially as Abby and Mike first become friends and Abby tries to reinvent herself with Mike's help in order to snare a local doctor she's attracted to (who's played by Eric Winter.)Yes, by the end it's quite predictable and the last 20 minutes or so become a little dull to be honest. But before then this movie does have a lot of laughs. Butler and Heigl also played their parts well and worked well together. It is at times (fairly often actually) a bit crude, so it's not for those who are looking for a sweet, innocent romance. But for a few laughs, this is worth watching. (7/10)
