The Ugly Truth [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Funniest movie in Years!
2009-11-30 - Uptight girl meets jaded guy, some people might feel they know how it's going to end, but why worry whether that's right or not? However it's going to end, the trip to get there is Hysterical. Some of the situations are so funny you can hardly hear the actors for your own laughter. Kathryn Heigl was perfect for this role, and Gerry Butler is completely charming, as always, even when his character is being outrageous, with a charisma that just won't quit. And the dance scene...whew. Just buy the movie if you want to laugh, love, and feel good for a while.

Best chick flick movie for a guy
2009-11-30 - My wife wanted to see this movie in the theater. Well, we missed it, and waited for it on DVD. We rented it from redbox, and this movie is fantastic, from both of our views. I usually suck it up and watch chick flicks when requested to do so, but when I heard she wanted to see this one, I thought I had a chance enjoy this one. Glad to see I was right, as this movie had me laughing. Recommended highly for couples who want to see a movie together. Both men and women will enjoy this movie.

The Ugly Truth: A Comedy-Drama on Human Nature...
2009-11-28 - "The Ugly Truth" pushes the envelope to unveiling the core motivations behind male-female relationships. It's in the genre' of "He's Just Not That Into You," but goes deeper with greater profundity. Most people claim to desire the truth for understanding the opposite sex, but really don't want to know. The truth isn't just ugly, it's painful! Fortunately, "The Ugly Truth" makes the challenges and solutions for relationships digest a little easier.

Besides the laughs, you should watch "The Ugly Truth" with a pencil and pad. There are some nuggets in the script. The salient message is that human nature only respects strength, not weakness nor some idealistic honesty. The authenticity of the movie is the melding of contradictions. Can you find the softness of love in a hard, callous world? In a Machiavellian sense, yes you can. But, only if you know the proper response for individual situations.

The downside to "The Ugly Truth" is the clichéd "love conquers all" ending. With the complexities highlighted in the movie, a more imaginative conclusion would have been more effective. If love wins in the end, can it have some degree of rationale to justify the road to getting there?

A Good View of the Opposite Sex, boldly hillarious, and Sweet at the End
2009-11-26 - I expected this movie to be funny, however it raised my expectations. It had me laughing, crying, and awwing many seens...Truly a must see!!! Four thumbs up in my part! I think Heigle and Gerard Butler were such an unsual match, but complimented each other. You could actually feel their chemistry as though it was real!!!!

Much better than reviewed
2009-11-26 - I recently saw this and thought it was much better than I heard it was. The story, well, nothing new. Abby is an overly controlling working woman who thinks applying professional skills to romance will make for success. She brings a background check to a date. She is lost, I think a product of too many woman magazines telling her bad advice. Eventually, the show she produces brings in a loud mouth, Mike, who says all the things Abby thinks is horrible. Although I get the sense that the movie was cut up because Mike doesn't get a ton of background, he is just a normal good guy that got sick of saying the *right things* and saying the wrong things gave him a career.

I am sure you know where this is going, however, the thing that makes this flick stand out, is that Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl have excellent chemistry. Butler doesn't look like a guy who mildly likes Abby, he looks like truly enjoys every bit of her. Heigl has the same look on the whole movie, like even not in a romantic story both truly would choose each other to do things with. There is a side story about her trying to get the perfect doctor and that helps Mike and Abby have something to do, but, it is always clear that both prefer to be around each other in a very genuine and pleasing way.

There aren't a ton of faux blocks to the romance and the movie is short. Simple and good. That is all you can ask for.
