Review - The Ugly Truth, Brings Minimal Laughs

The Ugly Truth tries to attract the male audience by showing Gerard Butler being a man's man and calling it how it is about women in the trailers. Which, he does during the movie to some extent and has a couple good lines. But, in all honesty, this a pure chick flick. If you saw the trailer you can guess exactly how the movie is going to turn out. I like seeing romantic comedies when they're good with a mix of male and female humor. This was 95% female humor with attempts at male humor. Katherine Heigl looked great in a lot of the scenes (especially the "naked" weather girl), her eyes just freak me out a little bit. They're too far apart. And there's a scene with vibrator panties and I thought it was going to be a lot funnier than it was, it kind of fell flat. A positive note, the cast of side-babes were great like the Fun Bag Twins Bambi and Candi, and Cheryl Hines is always a great comedian and didn't disappoint in the film. Overall, there was minimal male humor, way too chicky for a man to sit through the entire 96 mins, and it was predictable. Not worth bringing a date to since the man won't enjoy it that much.
