The Ugly Truth…

Tonight Tasha and I spent the rest of our date budget on dinner and a movie.  We saw “The Ugly Truth” with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler.  It was pretty funny… a lot better than the reviews made it out to be.  There were a few previews for some movies that I wouldn’t mind seeing when they come out… “Funny People” has a whole host of comedians in it that I enjoy, and seeing a more detailed trailer makes it seem considerably more interesting to me.

But anyway, back to the movie… it was a standard fare romantic comedy, Katherine Heigl’s character was a control freak local tv producer and she unwillingly got paired up with Butler’s character named Mike, the misogynistic host of a public access show called The Ugly Truth.  Mike believes that men just want a pretty, sexy girl with very little substance.  Heigl’s character Abby believes otherwise.  The mismatched pair attempts to sway the other to their point of view, and eventually romantic comedy ensues.

I’d end up giving it a good solid B.  We’ll probably add it to our DVD collection once it comes out, should fit right alongside Love Actually in the romantic comedy section.
