(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 8% Rotten Page   1   2/5 "Grocery shopping is arguably a more novel experience than Robert Luketic's The Ugly Truth."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 1.5/5 "The "ugly" truth about this film is that it's all artifice and very little amusement."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D- "A misogynistic, hateful, profane comedy that gives charm the heave-ho, punts away any viable dramatic hold within the first five minutes, and reduces the age-old battle of the sexes, big screen spitfire to an ear-bleeding spasm of shrillness."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf "Concerns about truth and untruth can't mean much in a movie called The Ugly Truth."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...a mildly diverting yet thoroughly uninvolving romantic comedy..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are charismatic with the right material, but that right material eludes them in this bland, rudderless romantic comedy."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "Formulaic, stupid, and unfunny in all the usual ways. Is there no more ingenuity in Hollywood? Can no one think of new ways for movies to be irritating and pointless?"   Film.com   Eric D. Snider 0.5/4 "While it may have been directed by a man, albeit one with all the talent of a water bra, it's screenplay is credited to three women who have managed to make Defending the Caveman seem like the height of exposing our Martian tendencies."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D "Plays like a busted Fox sitcom pilot, though heavier on the raunchiness and dragged out to a literally painful hour and a half."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "Not even the delightful Katherine Heigl can save this flubbed romantic comedy from its ludicrous depiction of a woman who hands herself over to a macho man for a makeover."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Nothing redeeming about anything here...just a portrait of American selfishness, run amok, played for laughs."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 2.5/4 "Hollywood, it seems, has lost the knack of how to make a good romantic comedy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1/5 "If you like things that are predictable, I can predict you'll love "The Ugly Truth," a new romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. I sincerely doubt anyone else will respond to its labored scenes and smutty, tittering, unfunny jokes."   MSN Movies   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy "This asinine romantic comedy doesn't have an original bone in it's body."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy 2/5 "click for the full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "Left to her own devices, Heigl drowns in the role, but Butler always steps in with a life preserver of comedic timing and saves most of the scenes."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "...turns out to be not half bad, a bag mixed with a good running gag weaving around mechanical romcom cliches played out with charisma by Butler and featuring Heigl in agreeable mode."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[W]hat kind of self-hat[red] is involved on the parts of three female screenwriters who collaborate to create [a] horrid female protagonist... and then go on to treat her in such an unforgivable way[?]"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Formula can be fun, as it is here."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2/4 "I liked the Gerard Butler half of The Ugly Truth; the Katherine Heigl half, not so much."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "There is little chemistry between co-stars Katherine Heigel and Gerard Butler in this charmless war of the sexes story, but there is even less between its two genres."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1/5 "By the end of the movie, you are rooting for the two of them to get together only because their foul union would presumably prevent other innocent souls from being sucked into their respective vortexes of pain and tedium."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "While the cast is watchable, the film simply has nothing original to say."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 1.5/4 "You want the truth? They don't come much uglier than this."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 2/10 "So raunchy and tiresome - it could turn a date-night into a disaster."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 8% Rotten Page   1
