Yep I can handle "The Ugly Truth"

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2009)

Now I liked this romantic comedy, it was cliché at times and if you seen the trailer for this movie the chances of you knowing how just about everything is going to go down is pretty high, but still it is ambiguous and entertaining romantic comedy. Okay so Abby(Katherine Heigl) is producer of a local morning show in Sacramento, California. But she is a control freak and shallow which tends to turn most males off. Now I will say I don't particularly like Katherine Heigl as an actress but she actually fit in quite well with her role in this one. Anyways the ratings for the show starts to decrease, which isn't a surprise and the owner of the station decide to go in a different direction by hiring a brash talk show host Mike(Gerard Butler) who is a expert on male and female interaction and also the epitome of a alpha male. And Gerard Butler was just perfect in his role, even if his character is a know it all sleaze bag, but the thing is he is still likable and in this one even when he claims that he doesn't know romance or love, but that he is a master at lust and manipulation. Actually Gerard Butler is likable in just about every film he is in. So Mike takes up the offer to reprise his late-night call-in program "The Ugly Truth" for the station. And the battle of the sexes begins between Mike and Abby, and they have some good chemistry together with some good dialogue mixed in while Abby tries to have a affair with her neighbor who she thinks is her ideal guy. But since most guys have difficult time having a affair with Abby which isn't that shocking, Mike makes a bet with Abby and gives her advice on how to please her so called ideal guy. And while doing this Mike and Abby start to bond with each other. Now like I said, it's a predictable romantic comedy but I enjoyed it, it is wicked fun even if the ending seemed to be really rushed. It's a romantic comedy that both sexes will enjoy and have a good time with, it was just simply satisfying.
7.5/10
