Tonight I went and saw Gerard Butler and Katherine Hiegel in The Ugly Truth, and to be perfectly frank, I enjoyed it.
The premise is pretty simple. It's a romantic comedy about an uptight network TV producer and a brash, over-the-top commentator whose favorite topic is relationship advice between men and women. He's the man's man, loud and confident and not afraid to tell it how it is. She's the control-freak professional woman with a checklist for how she wants her man. Hilarity is bound to ensue.
Without giving away too much of the plot, which is actually pretty smart and keeps the viewer very involved, most of the story center's around Abby (Hiegel's uptight but sexy character) trying to win over Collin, the sexy doctor next door. With the help of Mike (Butler), the host of "The Ugly Truth," she makes herself into what every guy wants.
The best characters in the film are, by far, the two anchors on Abby's show. They are absolutely hilarious in every interaction, and nearly all of their scenes made me laugh out loud.
Overall the whole film is well-written and well-acted. If you're looking for something funny that will make you feel good, I suggest it. Go see.
