Katherine Heigl (27 DRESSES) and Gerard Butler (P.S. I LOVE YOU) are back in the rom-com game in THE UGLY TRUTH, with Butler playing the asshole but enthusiastic and oddly charming good looking guy who helps the unlucky in love Heigl in her relationships. All the while the question of when they will see that they are perfect for each other hangs above every scene of the movie.
I’m a bit of a sucker for this kind of rom-com and I think the trailer for THE UGLY TRUTH does a good job in not making it overly obvious that they will end up together. There’s at least an attempt at the end to subvert our expectation.
Robert Luketic’s (21, LEGALLY BLONDE) comedy opens April 3rd (U.S.) and April 17th (U.K.)
One Comment
Another boring, predictable, thoroughly mediocre romantic comedy starring America’s favorite little snit Katherine Heigl. This woman is undertalented and overpaid. The sense of entitlement and self satisfaction that oozes out of her every pore reminds me of Julia Roberts at her most odious. This Hollywood trash should be avoided at all costs. One Julia Roberts is enough. We should all do our best to avoid Heigl’s pitiful attempts at comedy and make sure she stays on nightime soap operas where she belongs. Gerard Butler should stick to oiling up his biceps and screaming about duty, honor and the need to kill people of different races and sexual orientations.
