The Ugly Truth

A typical romantic comedy, girl having problems getting her guys, met a guy she dislike, this guy helped her get her guys, then this girl and this guy starts to know, they actually like each other. But there are several hilarous moments, the story is based in Sacramento, Katherine Hiegl is Abby, a morning show TV producer. After coming home from a crap date, he saw Gerard Butler as Mike Chadway on his own show on TV, "The Ugly Truth", telling audience the cynicism about relationship.

This prompted Abby to call in, they argued though to no avail. Next morning, they became colleagues, Mike was brought in to improve ratings on the morning show. Their dislike of each other continued, M find A a control freak while A find M disgusted on his take about relationship and way of doing the show. But truth is the audience like the truth, ratings are up. Then A met his dream guy, his new neighbour, Colin whom is a doctor. M then make a bet with A, he will get her his guy, if not he will quit, if he did, A will co-operate with M during work.

Well, of course M won, proving his theory on relationship with several comical moments. Especially the one at the company dinner where A accidentally wore the "vibrating undies", she dropped the remote and the boy opposite just played with it. As the boy fiddle through level, it finally climax to "ectasy". With his gaining popularity, M got invited to some Late night show so he flew over. A went over also as her boss want her to make M stay at the station.

The trip made them realize they really do like each other, the irresistable passionate kiss in the hotel lift.

Though C surprise visit sort of spoil the spark, though A did broke up with C, telling him everything she did was fake, just trying to please him. Back at Sacramento, M leave for another local station. A was pissed off that M didn't tell his feelings then. It ends well when he finally did in a hot air ballon during one outdoor broadcast. 7/10
