Truthful Review

I just saw The Ugly Truth starring the statuesque Katherine Heigl and 300 hunk Gerard Butler.

Watching it with my mother was a bit weird, because of the R-rated humor used throughout the movie. But overall, it was worth seeing, if only for the witty writing and comic timing. You'll notice plenty of dialogue between the characters, but the movie is fast-paced enough that the banter stays interesting, and not dragging.

Heigl is stunning, and her acting makes you forget about all the not-so-funny things she's known for in real life. I would even go as far as saying that she seemed like a real trooper in this film, and that she was fun to watch. No spoilers here :)

As for Butler, I haven't seen 300—a movie most people I know have raved about. In Ugly Truth he plays an abrasively frank, to the point of crass, TV talent bent on exposing the 'truth' about men, women, and dating. His lines sound like something you would read from a book He's Just Not That Into You, but with vividly-worded graphic nuances.

The clothes in the movie are okay. I think anything on Heigl looks great; I found no love handles whatsoever on her frame. Butler, seems to be heftier than what I recall from posters of 300; he looks great though. His wardrobe in the movie is a mix of comfy casual knits and sleek grey suits. (By the way, I saw this article at Shopwiki.com on basic shirt-and-tie rules and no-fail combos for guys.)

The movie is now showing in U.S. theaters and more info can be found at the official website, http://www.thetruthisntpretty.com.
