Out in theatres as of July 24th is The Ugly Truth, just another film in the long line of romantic comedies to hit the screens this summer. The plot really follows the romantic comedy guidelines as we watch a struggling television producer Abby (Katherine Heigl) try and come up with ways to make her show better. Her superior then decides to bring in Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), who's cable show is a hit because of the ridiculous things that Chadway says or does during his airtime.
Abby immediately is disgusted with Chadway's opinions and viewponits until she meets what she thinks is Mr. Right. She then begins to brag about it to mike until he realizes that she is never going to win this guy unless he helps her out. They then agree to a deal that basically consists of Chadway coaching her in all her moves with this new guy. This is about where you can insert the standard romantic comedy plot. The two, after spending so much time together, begin to feel something between them, and then it comes time for Abby to choose between her dream man and the man she would not dream of being with.
This movie isn't terrible. It does follow the typical plot, but I think what seperated it a little bit from the rest of the bad rom-coms is the lead acting. I feel that they both did a nice job, but that's about the extent of it. This movie would be a good date idea, but other than that, not really worth seeing.
Rating: 2/4 stars Trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-wMe9vxkWI
