The Story:
Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is a romantically challenged morning show producer in Sacramento, California. Coming home from a disasterous date one night, she happens to see a segment of a local television show, “The Ugly Truth,” run by Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), a male chauvinist whose cynicism of relationships prompts Abby to call into the show to argue with him on-air. The next day, she discovers that the station is threatening to cancel her show because of its poor ratings, and her superiors have hired Mike to do a segment on their show to bring them back up.
At first, the two have a rocky relationship; Abby thinks Mike is crass and disgusting while Mike finds Abby to be a control freak. However, after she meets the man of her dreams, a doctor named Colin living next to her, Mike persuades her to follow his lead to prove his theories on relationships and allow her to find love.

What did people say about this movie? Take a look.
“I have not laughed so much over a movie as I did watching “The Ugly Truth” This was film was hysterical and Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl were great in the roles. It is a must see movie for both men and women. I thought that the script was well written and true to life and if this movie gets a poor rating, then the reviewers need to lighten up. I would go see this movie again.” [Via: IMDb]
“The disappointing thing about The Ugly Truth isn’t that it’s formulaic, stupid, and unfunny. It’s that it’s formulaic, stupid, and unfunny in all the usual ways. Is there no more ingenuity in Hollywood? Can no one think of new ways for movies to be irritating and pointless?” [via: film.com]
Critic Reviews:
…despite some execrable dialogue, the clocklike predictability of the jokes and a total lack of faith in the audience’s powers of discernment, Heigl and Butler almost pull it off.
Here’s the REAL ugly truth: The Ugly Truth is an uninspiring romantic-comedy rehash.
The Ugly Truth is a highly calculated attempt to recalibrate with raunch the family entertainment template and cash in.
