Film Review: The Ugly Truth

I was quiet tired when I went to see this movie so I was pleasantly surprised that it had enough about it to entertain.

Its a simple premise, and as with all of such, relies heavily on the lead roles to make it interesting.

Heigl and Butler neither set the world on fire nor disappoint, this is the running theme with this film.

Of the two Butler seems more natural in his role as a cold-hearted truth bringer, while Heigl is disappointingly wooden but still has enough about her to muddle through.

The plot is largely readable; most will see the ending a mile off. But again its done with enough effort to make it enjoyable, without the extra squeeze to make it excellent.

The highlight has to be a scene where Heigl is tortured sexually by a child (carefully worded sentence alert!)

This film to me needed more time and attention to be truly excellent but was rewardingly funny at times. I'd rate this film as 7.2/10
