Review of The Ugly Truth (2009)

By Catherine Shoard (160) for Guardian (4,584) on 06 Aug 2009

There is, in fact, a spark of chemistry between Heigl and Butler: it's testimony to the ineptitude that the film itself acts as such a wet blanket…

Review of The Ugly Truth (2009)

By Charles Gant (85) for Heat Magazine (77) on 06 Aug 2009

This is a romcom made very much in the ribald spirit of lad-centric comedies such as The Hangover, and it makes a refreshing change. Sappy, it ain't…

By Rob Daniel (202) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 06 Aug 2009

Legally Blonde director Luketic keeps the film light and frothy, and the script (penned by three women) isn't afraid to flavour the romance…
