 BETTER THAN AVERAGE ROMANTIC COMEDY 3 1/2/ STARS! March 21, 2010
! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
A good cast goes a long way in this familiar romantic comedy. I like Gerald Butler and I think he is really going in the wrong direction with his film choices lately, but I can't knock someone making a good living playing kiss and tell with these lovely actresses. This is pretty much a battle of the sexes comedy with nothing new, but it's a fairly enjoyable ride. If you like romantic comedies, there is no reason to miss this one.
 Not your typical romance!! March 20, 2010
LaRay Strait (Frostproof,FL USA)
I didn't get the chance to see this movie in theaters, so when I saw the movie on sale at the local Target store I went out on a limb and bought it. The end result: I loved it!! My boyfriend and I watched this movie together and we were both literally laughing out loud. It is rare to find a movie that couples can watch together and laugh and be fully satisfied! It is rated R, so if you can't handle conversations dealing with sex or cussing, then this movie is not for you! I loved it and found the whole movie extremely funny and great! I definitely recommend this movie to the younger crowd for the ages between 20-30; however older folks will more than likely enjoy this movie as well!
 Incredibly cheesey March 8, 2010
R. Hooyman (Little Chute, WI)
This movie was incredibly cheesey. First I have to say that Katharine Heigel is not my cup of tea. I don't much care for her, not sure what it is. Gerard Butler I enjoyed in "PS I Love You"....however this is not that movie. It is not the actors, its just not that great of script. It had a rare funny moment, but certainly not worth wasting your money on. If you want to see this rent it instead of buying it...actually borrow it instead of wasting money on renting it.
It is about Abby, a tv producer and Mike, a crude on air talent. Abby is a control freak, up tight and single. She runs a nice, vanilla morning show. Late one night she stumbles across a tv show called "The Ugly Truth" which she calls into outraged at the hosts advice. The next day at work she finds out they have hired that host. The host Mike helps her get the guy of her dreams and ..... big shocker, Mike is in love with Abby....and Abby is in love with him also.
The Ugly Truth (Widescreen Edition) March 6, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In Sacramento, Abby Richter produces a morning news show that's about to be canceled. To boost ratings, her boss hires Mike Chadway, a local cable call-in host who promotes the ugly truth: sex is the only glue in a relationship, men can't change, and they only respond to women's looks. Mike offends Abby's sensibility: she has a checklist about the perfect man, and she's found him in her new neighbor, Colin, a hunky doctor. Mike offers to help her reel in Colin if she'll work with Mike on the show; she accepts the deal, ratings go up, and, with Mike's help, so does Colin's interest in her. Craig Ferguson, a hot air balloon, and the ugly truth help this take on "Cyrano" play out. This movie is fast paced, hilarious and does not drag. Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler were both great in the movie. If you are expecting to see a typical romantic comedy you will be surprised. Be prepared to laugh and enjoy this movie.
 not for the easily offended or "super-pc" set.....for the rest us, read on... February 28, 2010
Colleen M. Schneider (San Lorenzo, CA USA)
This movie is definitely an acquired taste....not for everyone, not for the easily offended, or for those that are extremely serious about being politically correct. It's a movie you will either really like, or not like at all. I imagine that some people watched the first 15 minutes, said to themselves, "Mike is a misogynistic pig" and turned it off. Is he? Well, yes. Is what he says shocking and disturbing? That would be a big yes again. I happen to give it a bit more time though before I decided. So, here is the premise, he is the star of a cable show that deals with the the sexes, and he is upfront, in your face and very un pc. Our other character, Abby is a super uptight tv producer who's station is looking for the one show to make them a hit and bring in ratings. I'm sure you see where we are going with this....
The night before they meet, Abby is home alone and her cat steps on the remote and his show comes on. She is irritated and indignant and can't stand this guy, so she calls the station and they do a little verbal sparring before he hangs up on her. Tomorrow morning, the boss introduces their newest star...you guessed it....he's baaaack.
She is stuck with him and though he completely repulses her she begins to pick his brain about what guys really like and how she can get the new doctor next door to fall for her. Mike then becomes her coach in getting Abby hooked up, not ever seeing that he is starting to fall for her too.
There were several laugh out loud funny parts in the movie and as the movie progresses Mike becomes more soft and lovable and you see that in his home life he is anything but the brutish neanderthal he portrays, and soon Abby sees it too.
I liked it. It was different, I thought the two characters worked well together and it had a fun vibe to it.
Again though, not for everyone, and if you are easily offended, don't watch this one. It will probably not be for you.
For the rest of us, enjoy a funny, romantic comedy with a little edge.
