A Romantic Comedy About Sex....

Katrina from , 15th August, 2009

This isn't your usual romantic comedy, this is more a comedy about sex than romance. Its basically a film about Abby a TV producer (Katherine Heigl) and a bawdy opinionated presenter with a bit of a swagger (Gerard Butler), who believes women expect too much when looking for a man. He ends up presenting 'The Ugly Truth' on the channel that Abby will be producing. Abby is furious that her boss has taken him on, as she completely disagrees with what he has to say about women and men, and so the story goes... Sure, this film doesn't have much of a story, but I've gotta say its the best comedy I've seen that lives up to that description 'COMEDY'! that I've seen in while. It was so hysterically funny, I had tears streaming down my face! And it wasn't just me, the whole audience (men and women) were in fits of laughter too. If that isn't enough to get people to see it then I don't know what is. Nice to see Gerard Butler is getting the opportunity to play a variety of roles rather than being stuck in one genre of film. It proves he is a versatile actor (from playing the Phantom Of The Opera to King Leonidas in 300 to his next film Gamer - where he plays a human computer game avatar set in the future). I've not seen Katherine Heigl in a film for years, since 'My Father The Hero' infact, where she played opposite a different Gerard (Depardieu). Of course she's been in Film/TV since then, but nothing I've seen. It seems she's particularly good at comedy roles, a bit like Sandra Bullock.
