The Ugly Truth

Another romantic comedy where you know what is going to happen in the end………(sigh). Thank God that it’s at least funny!

Abby, a workaholic producer at a show that is getting canceled, is looking for Mr. Right. Mike, the host of cable t.v. show “The Ugly Truth”, KNOWS there isn’t a Mr. Right. When Abby’s t.v. show just isn’t doing good in ratings, Corporate decides to bring in someone to give the show a little spice. Who do you think that is? If you guessed cable t.v. host Mike, then you would be correct! Soon after their first encounter, Abby meets her “Mr. Right”, who lives next door. Only problem is, Abby just flat-out doesn't know how to make a guy like her. Well then, who should she ask for advice? If you guessed, Mike from the show that tells women the truth about guys, well you would be right again! You’re good at this game, or is it simply because we all have heard the same story line about A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES!? Seriously, how hard is it for Hollywood to make a movie that surprises you, instead of just making you laugh at parts and wishing you were doing something productive with your lives at others? Maybe I’m being to harsh. This WAS a funny movie. Just the thought that you know whats going to happen at the end is just depressing. If you have never seen a romantic comedy before, go and see it. If you want a good laugh, but not so funny that you’re crying, see this movie. BUT, if you want to actually do something with your life instead of wasting 97 minutes of it, pass on this one.
