The Ugly Truth

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)

If you are aware of what you are getting into before you buy your ticket, you won’t be disappointed. You have to know that it’s going to follow the old genre rules from the trailer and the only crucial question of the evening is whether the chemistry of the central couple will work. In this case, I give it both thumbs up because Butler is enjoying his macho character as much as Katherine Heigl is wonderfully natural and charming. The jokes were full of sexual remarks, and who cares about the shallow innuendos? I laughed with the whole movie theater and wished from the bottom of my heart for the two of them to succeed in the end. In a slight confusion of the senses, I give it a pure four "real" orgasms... ehm, stars. :) (27/10/2009)

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. (22/10/2009)

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. (07/01/2014)

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)
