The Ugly Truth

Rating: 7.3/10
Genre: Comedy
Overall value for money and time: 7.0/10

While I would love to insert "romantic" into the genre, I would be lying to you if I did. Either that, or I just have a high tolerance for romanticism. This movie is all about the art of courtship - in particular courting men. Gerard Butler stars as a host on a talk show about the "ugly truth" where he teaches his audience (mostly single females) about the differences between the sexes and how to go about getting the guy of their dreams.

Single, traditional and dominating TV producer Katherine Heigl was on a verge of losing her programs when her boss employs Gerard Butler to feature the segment on her show. This resulted in an increase in viewer ratings which "forced" her to work with him... and subsequently advice from him on getting the man of her dreams.

What lies ahead is the typical storyline and if you're in for a good laugh, this movie is for you. Crude humor, might even be vulgar at times but with an open heart, and an open mind, this movie won't go wrong with a long term date, though I'm not sure if it will work just as well for first dates...
