Editorial Reviews

Katherine Heigl further cements her reputation as one of film's most dazzling, and go-to, romantic comedy heroines. In The Ugly Truth she brings her deft comic timing and true vulnerability to a film that avoids clichés, successfully, all the way until the surprising, quiet end. Heigl's partner in crime--and at first, in pure hatred--is the rakishly charming Gerard Butler. Heigl plays Abby, a career-bound TV producer, and Butler is Mike, an outrageous dude's dude whose public access show about what men want (one thing only) makes him so popular that he's hired to work alongside Abby, who naturally chafes at everything Mike stands for. Yet The Ugly Truth could not be more unpredictable, and men as well as women will like the refreshing story line and the crisp direction by Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde, Monster-in-Law). Both lead actors put their all into their performances, and the nuance and depth makes The Ugly Truth not just a great date-night film, but a transportive testament on the primal human urge simply to connect. The Ugly Truth is more than a little raunchy, and it deserves its R rating, but there's hilarity in its crudeness. The supporting cast includes the delightful Cheryl Hines and John Michael Higgins as a tensely married couple forced to appear together on TV. And Eric Winter (Brothers & Sisters) is dreamy as Abby's potential love-match--as long as she doesn't have to be herself. The DVD includes mostly forgettable deleted and extended scenes, but also a gag reel that shows that the cast had every bit as much fun creating the film as the viewer has watching it. The Ugly Truth has never shined so brightly. --A.T. Hurley

5.0 out of 5 stars very naughty, but extremely nice, September 25, 2009

This review is from: The Ugly Truth (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

this is a very raunchy right to the point film which is extremely hilarious as long as you have a very open mind and are not at all prudish. gerry and katherine play off each other with great ease and are very comfortable in this very funny sex comedy about how men really think about sex and relationships according to mike,gerrys character, against kathys character, who is a very uptight conventional chick. the film is all about their inevitable clashes against their varied opinions on this topic and how they survive working together on a early morning chat show. i thoroughly recommend this film for an extremely comedic time for both men and women. it is not your usual chick flick and most people will be able to connect with this film and its morales, even though they might not want to admit it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Was Okay, June 7, 2010

This review is from: The Ugly Truth (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

I really hoped for more from this comedy. It isn't a bad movie, it just doesn't have enough laughs or story to make me want to watch it again. Katherine Heigl is funny and I liked her a lot in Knocked Up. With that movie you could see her slowly develop feelings for Seth Rogan. In the Ugly Truth it seems to just happen with a snap of a finger. This is not a light comedy, it is actually quite crude and contains many sexual references. Heigl alone can't hold this comedy afloat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, December 23, 2009

By 

Bodhi (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ugly Truth [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Great comedy movie. Intended for mature audiences with the sexual nature of its humor. Katherine Heigl plays her dual role as a snobby career driven woman to the temptress.
