Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler star in this wildly funny
battle of the sexes. Abby (Heigl), a successful morning show
producer, is looking for a lot in a man. Mike (Butler), her
obnoxious TV star, knows men only want one thing. Determined to
prove that she's not romantically challenged, Abby takes Mike's
advice during a promising new romance, but the unexpected results
will stun everyone.
From .co.uk
-----------
Katherine Heigl further cements her reputation as one of film's
most dazzling, and go-to, romantic comedy heroines. In The Ugly
Truth she brings her deft comic timing and true vulnerability to
a film that avoids clichés, successfully, all the way until the
surprising, quiet end. Heigl's partner in crime--and at first, in
pure hatred--is the rakishly charming Gerard Butler. Heigl plays
Abby, a career-bound TV producer, and Butler is Mike, an
outrageous dude's dude whose public access show about what men
want (one thing only) makes him so popular that he's hired to
work alongside Abby, who naturally chafes at everything Mike
stands for. Yet The Ugly Truth could not be more unpredictable,
and men as well as women will like the refreshing story line and
the crisp direction by Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde,
Monster-in-Law). Both lead actors put their all into their
performances, and the nuance and depth makes The Ugly Truth not
just a great date-night film, but a testament on the primal human
urge simply to connect. The Ugly Truth is more than a little
raunchy, and it deserves its 15 rating, but there's hilarity in
its crudeness. The supporting cast includes the delightful Cheryl
Hines and John Michael Higgins as a tensely married couple forced
to appear together on TV. And Eric Winter (Brothers & Sisters) is
dreamy as Abby's potential love-match--as long as she doesn't
have to be herself. The DVD includes mostly forgettable deleted
and extended scenes, but also a gag reel that shows that the cast
had every bit as much fun creating the film as the viewer has
watching it. The Ugly Truth has never shined so brightly. --A.T.
