Product Description
A hopelessly single morning show producer takes romantic advice from her obnoxious star with unexpected results.
Amazon.com
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 transportive testament on the primal human urge simply to connect. The Ugly Truth is more than a little raunchy, and it deserves its R 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. Hurley

 Sexy and funny September 6, 2010
Reader (Malibu, CA United States)
Simple love story that has been done before, but both actors are sexy to watch, and some of the "advice" that Gerard Butler hands out is not too far from the truth. Well worth the time and money.
 So funny! August 28, 2010

I've got to be honest, I'm not much of a romantic comedy fan. But my girlfriend wanted to watch it, and I've got to admit, it's really funny. I'm a fan of Gerard Butler and he doesn't disappoint. I was on the ground laughing with this movie. THere are parts that are pretty sappy and cheesy, but overall, I really recommend this movie.
Very funny movie August 27, 2010
L. Reed (Oklahoma)
Very good movie. Got here in good time. The movie is not for kids, but if you want to laugh and laugh hard, this movie will do it. It's a little crude in places, but it will make you laugh

I'll be honest here. I bought this movie for two main reasons: one, because I knew that Gerard Butler was in it, and two because I was semi-interested in watching it, not really knowing exactly what to expect. After I bought it and before I sat down to watch it, I decided to check out some reviews on amazon and other websites to see what I was in for. It appeared as though a lot of reviews were mentioning the fact that it is very raunchy. Normally, this would deter me from viewing such a movie. Even after having read some of the reviews, I was still at least somewhat unsure of what exactly to expect. I went ahead and watched the movie. After having seen it now, I can kind of see where some people were coming from in terms of their opinions and what not of the plotline. It definitely wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I wasn't exactly expecting it to fall into that category. It wasn't necessarily as bad as some people are saying. There were a few fleeting moments that were enjoyable to watch, most notably the very end. This is one of those movies that I honestly probably would not sit down and watch all the way through a second time. It's more the kind of movie that you'd pop in if you had like absolutely nothing else to do and you don't mind watching a movie that at times skews the male and female perspectives of the truth when it comes to dating and relationships. Katherine Heigl does an okay job in the movie, but it wasn't exactly what you'd call an Oscar-worthy performance. Gerard Butler was charming at times and a little funny and was the only reason that I wasn't bored while watching the movie. All things considered, I'd call this an okay movie--decent, but not great.
Hilarious! July 26, 2010

This movie made me laugh harder than anything I've seen in a long time.
I must admit that I am terribly disappointed by most of the negative reviews; everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it seems most of these folks failed to note that the movie is rated R, not G...
If you enjoy a little raunchy humor, witty dialogue, and either one of these actors, you'll get a kick out of this film.
