When a local TV producer encounters rating problems due to her boring and monotonous shows, she hires a person who's about to save their television through his nonconformist ways. They make an agreement to help each other out but what is about to happen will surprise both of them, either not knowing what to do and which is the best decision to take.It's a movie which surprised me with its idea and implementation, but especially with the feelings that it transmits. Don't think that you'll laugh at loud, but it will definitely make your day better, besides putting a smile on your face with almost every occasion. It also has a good dose of drama and romance, just to spice things up and make it even better. Its cast fits perfectly into the scene, managing to transpose you into the picture. It's an excellent comedy which has a quite interesting plot and a very good implementation.It's not much to say about it besides strongly encouraging everyone to see it if you haven't already.

There are a lot of things that separate how men and women see relationships. And the end of the movie goes into a question women often ask guys : "Why do you like me?" . The reason is because for women liking a guy usually means he gets x/y of her checklist of requirements. That is why the more relationships a woman has the more requirements she adds to the list and the harder it is to stay with one guy too much. But us men do not really know why we like women: we either do or don't , we are simple like that. There are things we prefer in women true but is not a checklist. We can like a woman that has 0 points on that list and do not like one that has all of them. Women think we want women with career an intelligence but while we do appreciate those they are not important. And that is the ugly truth!!!

For those who wonder why Katherine Heigl's so-called movie career was such a bust might want to check out a tiresome 2009 comedy called The Ugly Truth.The title of the film is the title of a cable access show that takes the male outlook at relationships, hosted by a sexist and obnoxious guy named Mike (Gerard Butler) who has been hired to beef up the ratings of a Sacramento morning talk show and finds himself going head to head with the show's tightly-wound producer (Heigl).It was way too many so-called romantic comedies like this one that killed Heigl's film career. Filmmakers seem to have wanted Heigl to be sort of a contemporary Doris Day who men lust after but have to work REALLY hard at melting her icy exterior. Unfortunately, unlike Doris Day, Heigl's movie characters are usually bitchy and unlikable and you find yourself scratching your head trying to figure out what the leading man sees in her and this film is no exception.Nicole Eastman and Karen McCullah's screenplay is overly cute and director Robert Luketic tries to disguise this by having all the characters speak 100 MPH so that the viewer doesn't really notice how lame the story really is. Gerard Butler appears to be having a ball here, but that doesn't necessarily make it a great performance and his chemistry with Heigl is non-existent. There are a pair of funny supporting performances by John Michael Higgins and Cheryl Hines as the co-hosts of the show, who are also married off-screen, but unless you live for Butler or Heigl, I'd give this one a pass.

The Ugly Truth (2009): Dir: Robert Luketic / Cast: Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Eric Winter, Bree Turner, Nick Searcy: Romantic comedy that bluntly states the obvious. In this case it regards the difference in how genders perceive each other and often make miscalculations in our judgements. Katherine Heigl produces a T.V. segment where station management insist that she accept a hardcore talk host whose views of relationships are blunt but needed for ratings. They will hate each other but ultimately arrive where viewers know it. Director Robert Luketic is backed with decent comic wit by his leads despite a screenplay that is flatter than paper. He previously made the underrated Win a Date With Tad Hamilton as well as Monster-in-Law and Legally Blonde. Heigl and Butler have superb chemistry as she reluctantly takes his advice regarding a doctor she is interested in. Butler plays off the wild antics of the daring talk show host who has wounds of his own. The ending unfortunately has them in a contrived scene involving a hot air balloon. Eric Winter as Heigl's romantic target had potential but is mainly a product of observation. Other roles are the usual flat and wasted appearances played by those hoping that this will not be their biggest career highlight. A strong message exists that points clear to a uniting of personalities when all is said and done. Score: 5 / 10
