The Ugly Truth

Tasteless and hollow.

Why isn't there a second one...

The movie is alright, it’s the classic rom com storyline, which is comforting but predictable. The main characters lack chemistry and depth, and I would’ve liked if we were given more context in terms of their backstory, overall it is an easy watch with some funny moments.

It’s a romcom lacking romantic chemistry and any semblance of comedy. There’s script is weak and predictable. Watched on Netflix.

You can see the review or tomatometer vs popcornmeter are way different. The movie is exactly what you think it would be, a neat quaint romantic with elements of social dictums and humorous instances. I thought it was really cute, even if it's cliched but all rom/coms are cliched. As an aside, Katherine Heigl is a fantastic actress who gets crumey roles. She reminds me of Ryan Reynolds before writers figured out what to do with him. She easily has the lowest rated movies of anybody on rotten tomatoes but it's b/c they cast her in light fare, would love to see her do something with more gravity,but I don't control Hollywood, so alas. This is an easy and fun watch.

It really is just a bad Hallmark movie that is covered in R rated language. Not at all original and not very funny.

Gerard Butler is outstanding. I laughed so hard with this movie.

great easy on the eyes kinda movie. loved it!

Oldie goodie and funny with two characters being so opposite but also so much fit for the other !

I was on a cheesy romcom marathon and I remembered my parents watching this movie when I was a kid, so I thought I'd give it a try. Jesus Christ I wish I didn't because I can't remember the last time I got so angry over a movie. Stopped watching about halfway through. This movie isn't funny. Like at all. And it's barely romantic either, so the title of romcom barely fits. The plot relies on the boring, overdone formula of good girl/bad guy, but it doesn't even do that well. It's ‘comedy' is lazy, relying solely on misogyny and the sexualisation/objectification of women as a crutch for its poorly written jokes. The characters are all so 2 dimensional and forgettable that I don't even remember most of their names. The love interest played by Gerard Butler has literally no redeemable qualities. He's just an asshole that gets the girl simply because the plot requires it. And for some reason we're supposed to root for him over the sweet neighbour who has done practically nothing wrong??? No real woman would EVER choose someone like him, and it's so clear that this movie was written by misogynistic men to appeal to the fantasies of other misogynistic men. Overall just a sad sad attempt at a movie, with boring old jokes that just don't hold up in the current day. But what was I expecting from a movie released in 2009?? Ik this review will mean absolutely nothing to a movie released 13 years ago but I had to vent somewhere.
