The Ugly Truth Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Mihai Toma When a local TV producer encounters rating problems due to her boring and monotonous shows, she hires a person who's about to save their television through his nonconformist ways. They make an agreement to help each other out but what is about to happen will surprise both of them, either not knowing what to do and which is the best decision to take.It's a movie which surprised me with its idea and implementation, but especially with the feelings that it transmits. Don't think that you'll laugh at loud, but it will definitely make your day better, besides putting a smile on your face with almost every occasion. It also has a good dose of drama and romance, just to spice things up and make it even better. Its cast fits perfectly into the scene, managing to transpose you into the picture. It's an excellent comedy which has a quite interesting plot and a very good implementation.It's not much to say about it besides strongly encouraging everyone to see it if you haven't already.
Davis P The Ugly truth is actually a pretty good romantic comedy. Gerard Butler is good as the starring role, and so is Katherine Heigl. The plot is actually something that hasn't been done a lot before, and it's very interesting. The dialogue between characters and the script is pretty well written, there are many funny lines of dialogue that had me laughing hard. The two leads really work well together and have great chemistry. There are also some pretty funny physical gags in the film. Yes, it's pretty formulaic and yes it's pretty predictable, but it's still a very enjoyable fun and often times warm hearted movie. Katherine is really just so lovable and great in her role! And Gerard Butler is often times a very ass****ish character, but it's for good reason, and his character does progress over time, and becomes likable as well. 8/10 for The Ugly Truth.
Felix Norman My aunt recommended this movie to my family, saying that it was hilarious. I don't tend to like Rom-Coms as a rule, but I sat down and sat through the whole thing.Alarm bells started ringing with the date scene at the beginning. It was so painful to sit through. The rules that this character sets out, time spent discussing certain topics... It was frankly bizarre. The scene after when she phones into Butler's television show because she is offended; I was thinking "Well maybe this won't be so bad, she's standing up to a misogynist" but then I realised that this is guy she's going to fall in love with at the end. Does the guy's attitude about women change by the end of the movie? Barely if at all.Offensive to all sexes, offensive to movie goers and offensive to my intelligence
FilmBuff1994 The Ugly Truth is a brutal movie with a really stupid storyline that was clearly placed together for comedy but is not at all funny,and most of the jokes in this movie are incredibly sexist to both genders,that what they relied on as being funny for the whole movie,get one gender to insult the opposite gender.While I have liked Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in previous movies i've seen them in,I just couldn't enjoy them in this,especially Butler's character,he was just irritating and not one bit funny,he's a great serious actor,and he clearly was only in this for the money.All the Ugly Truth wants to be is a comedy and heartwarming,unfortunately in fails on both levels,so I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.A man who seems to know everything about how relationships work,helps out a news producer struggling with her love life,by teaching her what men want in a woman.
