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.
