big disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (15 November 2009)

Love Gerard Butler, but don't waste your time with this one. It goes for cheap, crude jokes and has very little romance. The story-line is weak and by the end you're left wondering what the two leads could possibly see in each other, because that is never more than hinted at in the story-line. Never a big fan of Ms. Heigl, I did not think her bad in 27 Dresses. To be fair, her performance in The Ugly Truth may be more a case of bad writing than bad acting. There doesn't seem to be any chemistry between her and Mr. Butler, which also hurts the movie. The ending is also one of the worst endings to a movie that I've ever seen. I hope that Mr.Butler will be more discerning in future roles. I know that I'll be less likely to watch a movie solely because he's in it.
