The Ugly Truth - the movie is a nice one. These kind of movies are harmless and generally come in the category of feel good, pure entertainment, so true types. There have been number of such movies where you get tips to patao a girl/guy- unknowingly falling in love- never admitting u love,hero heroine blaming each other for not confessing thier love and finally that magical kiss does it for them, etc etc. But such hollywood movies can't really help us- the Indian audience. So we also have our own version like Rules Pyaar ka Superhit Formula, Pyar Ke Side Effects, and in the main stream our own King of romance giving lessons of "6 din ladki in" in the moive Kal Ho Na Ho. These lessons help in the initial stages (that too only if ur target hasn't seen these movies...or else u stand a thin chance), you need to see whether your situation and comfort level is the same as depicted in the movies or else you have to watch more movies where you get to that stage...
Coming back to The Ugly Truth. Katherine as usual is completely in the character as every girl cannot help but say 'thats exactly my life' n every guy wud want her to be his girlfriend. Gerard Butler a refreshing change from P.S I Love you. The screenplay is fast and thats fantastic for us because its already english movie, they cannot expect us to be patient for hollywood we have it reserved for our bollywood ones. The rules for getting a guy is well reserached....now a days college going kid also have thier own mantra. But its always refreshing to watch the lighter side of romance and be happy about it. Few of the truth mentioned by our Love guru are really ugly and really true like never crticize, always laugh on jokes etc etc.. and the entry scene of Gerard shoould not be missed for anything....watch for the 4 rules to get a guy. The end is perfect...after a gr8 confusion the matter is sorted out on TV (just as our Salman, Shahid, SRK wud do) ....one cannot ask for more.
In a nutshell good movie nothing new...but again u cannot ask for more freshness in such topics because its love served in a different platter. And love in all form is accepted be it Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyaar Kiya, Sweet November, Titanic, A walk to Remember, etc..etc. every time you watch it every time you say ''how cool'' n every time u want to fall in love. Now add one more to your list - The Ugly Truth.
