Opposites attract

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2012)

At the first sight "The ugly truth" goes more like a common, ordinary movie, but wait until you watch it. You can make yourself comfortable and get the portion of laughter for a whole week.
This movie starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in the leading roles, creates you a much more real image of how men and women tend to think. There are two tipics, Mike Chadway the confident strong successful man and Abby the control freak who is looking for Mr. Perfect as his future life partner. How this two different personalities manage to deal with each other generates a comic bomb which is about to explode in every scene.
Abby, on her road of finding Mr. Perfect, makes a "pact with the devil", the man-whore, Mike, in which she agrees to follow his playing rules to get the big pot, a well ranked doctor who lives across the street, in hope of getting rid of Mike who is messing her job. Here starts the variety of comical situation in which Abby is the one that always end up bad.
The director, Robert Luketic, made a great choice for the actors and that is the reason why the movie is a different one, because you'd never expect to see "Butler the Warrior" in a romantic comedy, wouldn't you? Moreover all the other characters fit perfect their roles and create the battle field for the main actors.
This film is good for all ages because it provides you a clearer way of thinking and it also makes you see the truth in how men think and what they really want at the end of the day. Women are not described as better creatures, Heigl is doing a great job interpreting that kind of woman that you'd always find as being a part of you.The ending is the problem because is written in that American prototype and doesn't alway fit the reality; the ones that tend to be so predictable that at the 90 minute you stop watching the movie. However it's worthed to see it all, for the good as gold lines of the characters and for the ugly truth that is about to be revealed at the end.
