The Ugly Truth

I went to see The Ugly Truth on Friday, guess what… it was hilarious. Everyone in the entire movie theater was laughing, through the whole movie. Like most people I was expecting this movie to be another predictable love tale that ends like every other romantic comedy. And although it is predictable and ends up like every other romantic comedy, it’s different because it’s very entertaining with a good story line and fantastic acting.

Gerard Butler (who plays Mike) and Katherine Heigel (who plays Abby) have an undeniable chemistry, which is obvious from the first time they meet. Abby is a control freak whose love life is non-existent because she is looking for Mr. Perfect and he doesn’t exist. Mike is a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick.

Abby is in for a rude awakening when her boss teams her up with Mike to do his show The Ugly Truth to get higher ratings. When the show proves to be a hit, Abby takes some advice from Mike on her love life, and things finally seem to be going in the right direction for Abby. Until she realizes she’s been pretending to be something she is not to get her “Mr. Perfect”, when she has someone in front of her who loves her for the wacky control freak that she is.

The funniest scene has to be the vibrating panties scene in the restaurant while Abby is meeting some important TV head honchos. Why does she have on vibrating panties in a restaurant? You will have to go check out the movie to see, I won’t spoil the movie for those who haven’t seen it.

All I can say is that I have a huge crush on sexy Scotsman Gerard Butler now, and will be checking out all of his movies, old and new. Katherine Heigel is excellent in these genre movies (romantic comedies). I also really liked 27 Dresses and Knocked up. If you liked those movies too then you will appreciate this movie.
