An unexpectedly decent movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2013)

This movie was the sort of movie I started watching because it was late at night, there was nothing else on and you found out in the opening credits that Gerard Butler was starring in the movie, so I gave it ago. By the end of the film I don't think I've ever laughed so much for a movie in a long time. Gerard Butler gave a surprisingly brilliant comedy performance and a great American accent that if you didn't know, you wouldn't realise at all that he is Scottish in real life and quite the Scottish accent too. Since "300" (which I think is one of his greatest acting achievements), Gerard has really shined in the film industry revealing his acting talent in big films like "RocknRolla" and "How to train your Dragon", performing a variety of characters and now this film.
The main actress of the film Katherine Heigl (one of those big actresses who I don't know, but my parents do for some reason) gave an equally talented performance, making it great casting for a comedy duet display. This is a film that if you saw it on paper, you wouldn't think to watch it but 'The Ugly Truth' is so crudely funny, it's good to watch with not just witty comedy, but also a glowing romantic story.
