The Ugly Truth

I can't help it, but I have only positive feelings associated with this movie. Yes, I like Gerard, there's nothing that can be done about it, but this comedy seemed funny to me, the chemistry between the characters was absolutely great. I know that this review is maybe a little exaggerated, but I had a great time watching it and that's the main thing I expected from the movie. For this reason, I give it a high rating, because I even remember this romantic comedy quite well, which is also not always the case. (06/01/2014)

The beautiful Katherine Heigl, who has the cutest orgasm of all Hollywood actresses, and the quirky Gerald Butler are the only ingredients that somehow distinguish this offbeat romantic romp from a good 70% of its genre peers. We have fun, we relax and Butler's philosophy of life makes us relatively wiser (us guys, that is), but otherwise the ambitions and message of the film are as hopeless as the future of a relationship that puts sex on the back burner.

Katherine shines and Gerard enjoys every juicy line, but the whole studio plot, stupid supporting characters, and actually even the spicy commentary on truth felt like a betrayal compared to what I expected from the trailers, and I had to do my best not to write off the movie at that time. The paradox is that when it slows down, innuendos disappear and romance reaches top speed, I completely melted and thanks to the actors' dramatic talent, I thoroughly enjoyed the last half hour. However, due to higher expectations and striking unevenness of individual scenes, disappointment prevails. (22/10/2009)

An excellent romantic comedy with a great central duo. Gerard Butler is properly cheeky and his sexual innuendos to women carry the whole film. Katherine Heigl is very cute and properly sassy. Great dirty fun with a novel idea... 80% (08/03/2018)

I felt like I was on a roller coaster. Excellent and funny scenes alternate with truly weird and kitsch moments. Even so, I have mainly positive impressions from watching The Ugly Truth. Someone who bears great responsibility for that is Gerard Butler who led the movie to a satisfying conclusion, despite his strange, but predictable character development. On closer consideration, I was forced to reduce the stars to just 2. (21/10/2009)
