The Ugly Truth

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. (01/06/2014)

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% (03/08/2018)

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. (10/22/2009)

This was a good comedy as long as it was about the ugly truth. The moment the film turned into a sappy romance, it lost its appeal to me. If I weren't mentally prepared for such an ending it would have spoiled my impression of the whole film. Luckily, I managed to keep calm and carry on. I enjoyed Gerard Butler, I didn't mind Katherine Heigl this time, although I really can't stand that brutally fake smile of hers. The shattering of ideals was excellent. There's nothing like a good clash with harsh reality. Anyway, despite the fiasco in the final quarter, I'm giving it a 4*-. (08/16/2017)

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. (10/21/2009)
