Review of The Ugly Truth (2009) by Sylviav — 21 Sep 2009

I really wasn't expecting much of this movie as I had seen the unflattering score it garnered on this page...but having low expectations almost always guarantees a pleasant surprise! I didn't find it misogynist, crass, rude, offensive or any other of the epithets bandied about.

..only genuinely funny at parts, which is more than I can say for critically acclaimed comedies like The Hangover, a film that barely got a smile out of me. Sure, it's formulaic and predictable, but then again, I don't decide to watch a rom com when I'm in the mood for something deep and innovative.

..I just expect some silly fun and a few laughs, and I got them with this film.
