The Ugly Truth

Rated R for language, sexuality

Starring Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl

Abby is a Sacramento morning show producer, who's show is failing in the ratings and on the verge of being canceled. In an attempted to render the situation and save the show, the show's owner decides to bring on Mike, a man with a cynical view on love and relationship who runs a cable access show called The Ugly Truth where he shares his cynicism.

Abby is disgusted by Mike and the two get off to a rough start, however when Abby meets the man of her dreams who meets all the qualities on her list of the perfect man, Mike makes her a deal - if she follows his advice and gets the guy, she has to agree to happily work with Mike, however if she follows his advice and doesn't get the guy, he will quit and they will never have to work together again. Desperate to get rid of Mike, Abby agrees to the terms.

What follows for the remainder of the film is predictable, but there are quite a bit of adult humor and laughs along the way!

My husband surprised me by taking me to this one for a date night film, as much as he expressed he didn't want to see it, but he came out of the film admitting that he actually enjoyed it and while even though it was predictable, it was better than he was expecting.

The Ugly Truth may not be as raunchy as most Judd Apatow films of these days, but this one is still not suitable for kids! So if you enjoy fun rom-coms with a dash of raunchy sex humor, be sure to view this one with your spouse after the kids are in bed.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Rated PG13 for dark elements, fantasy violence

Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter

Taking place directly after the events of the previous film, Voldemort is back and his loyal followers, The Deatheaters, are wreaking havoc on not only the wizard world, but the muggle world as well. Draco Malfoy has also been recruited to carry out a task for the dark lord, one that Harry tries to figure out through most of the school year.

Back at Hogwarts, Harry and Ron are taking potions class with new returning Professor Slughorn, as Snape is now the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Harry receives a potions textbook that appears to have belonged once to the mysterious Half Blood Prince, in which the pages of the book are covered with annotations, which Harry uses to his benefit. Harry is also kept busy by Dumbledore, who, through the use of a pensive, shows Harry various memories of a young Voldemort, known back then as Tom Riddle, and teaches him about seven Horcuxes that Voldemort has created to safeguard his soul, that they need to find and destroy in order to stop the dark lord for good.

Love is also in the air at Hogwarts, as Harry begins to fall for his friend's sister, and Ron becomes smitten with a fellow student which makes Hermoine insanely jealous.

In comparison to previous Potter films, just like the books, the films are continuing to get darker and darker, with this being the darkest installment yet.

It does make for a good adaption from the book however - sure there were some parts that were left out or slightly changed for time, but overall, it left most fans satisfied and eagerly anticipating 2-part installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - the last book in the series.

In spite of the dark and scary moments in this film, there also are some cute moments amongst our favorite wizard teens, as they continue to grow up and experience romantic love too, but in a way that is still innocent compared to other teenage films with teen romance.

While I wouldn't recommend this one for the younger kids, as some of the scenes might scare them a bit too much, the older kids, especially if they've read the book, will be just fine!

The Hangover

Rated R for language, violence, nudity, sexuality, drugs and alcohol

Starring Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Ken Jeong

Doug is getting married this weekend and asks his closest friends and groomsmen Phil and Stu to take him to Vegas for his bachelor party. He also invites his fiance's socially awkward brother Alan for the trip, in hopes of bonding with him. They arrive, book a penthouse suite at Caesar's Palace and get ready for a night they'll never for forget... or one they won't remember!

Waking up the next morning with no recollection of the night before to a trashed suite, the groomsmen trio discover a huge tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, Stu is missing a tooth and wearing a wedding band, Phil has on a hospital bracelet, and there is no sign of the groom! Having roughly 36hrs to get the groom to the alter, they go on a wild and hilarious search to backtrack what had happened the night before in hopes that they will learn where the groom has gone.

Probably one of the funniest adult comedies this summer, this is one Hangover that won't be soon forgotten!
