The Ugly Truth: Same Old Story

August 5, 2009 by bb-pawprint

“The UglyTruth” is a typical comedy/love story with good characters to back it up. The main characters were Katherine Heigl and Gerald Butler.  While Heigl played her usual role of cute and insecure girl in comedies,Gerald Butler went away from his big manly character in “300. ” Butler plays an arrogant character who became increasingly successful with his TV show about what relationships are really based on, which he claims is lust and sex. While the movie has a lot of good humor in it, it can become boring at points because it is so predictable.  First Heigl hates the show, then when she is forced to work with this man she becomes closer to him and slowly falls in love.  Her role was a lot like her role in “Knocked Up,” where she had to adjust to being around Seth Rogen, whom she became pregnant with.  Now she must adjust to being around a man who stands for beliefs that she despises, yet begins to see the truth in as time goes by.  This movie is good to see in theaters with a couple of friends, but seeing it again would be quite distasteful.  This unknown humor in Gerald Butler has rarely been seen before, and this movie may open more movie watchers up to his different skill sets.  He was the best part of the movie, although he got a bit corny at times, which is not his fault but the directing.  Robert Luketic directed a cute film with good actors, but certainly did not present anything special to viewers that has not been seen before.
