The Ugly Truth
Heartthrob of the moment Gerard Butler plays Mike, a chauvinistic local TV commentator on male-female relationships. According to his philosophy, men should give up on love and concentrate on lust. Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy, Knocked Up) plays Abby, his uptight producer who despises everything about him. When Mike bets that he can successfully help her win the heart of the man of her desire, doctor Colin (Eric Winter), she covers the bet. Hilarity and tomfoolery ensue, which leads to a predictable outcome that you have probably figured out by now. The Ugly Truth checks off all the usual elements you can expect from a rom-com, and Butler even turns out a cheeky performance. If you enjoyed flicks such as 'Monster In Law' and 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days', then this is just the tonic for you.
