Snack/Bathroom Break Time: Anytime, really...
Movie Rating: Rated: R - language is consistently crude
Reviewer: PsychoMonkey
Review: So, I love Gerry Butler. Like, you have no idea, really, how much I have been looking forward to this movie. I saw some previews that were pretty raunchy, but I was hoping they were the only really lewd scenes. Turns out I was wrong. At it's base, The Ugly Truth is just another romantic comedy, which generally works for me.
The story is cute, I love the characters, and it's a good ending (it always is!). But the constant sex jokes and language got to be really too much. Some of it was uncomfortably amusing, but most was over-the-top and gratuitous. But, it did have Gerry Butler (which is a very redeeming quality!) and the storyline was good.
If you like sex jokes, or are a guy, you'll probably love this movie. If you like Gerry but don't fall into those other categories, you'll should probably go, but will sit through it thinking, "Why, Gerry, why?" If none of the above categories fit you, I wouldn't bother.
