February 15, 2012The Ugly Truth is definitely ugly but not exactly truthful. It's badly written, badly acted and has no redeeming features as far as I could tell. It's labelled a rom-com but it was totally devoid of any Romance or comedy, it couldn't even get the stereotypes right. The real ugly ... read more

January 22, 2012Pretty good comedy. Mike is a beer-drinking, woman-chasing loudmouth who has a part on Abby's morning show as the guy who spills the ugly truth on the relationship between men and women. Abby gets some help from Mike to help her attract a neighbour as a date, and of course, Mik... read more

December 15, 2011The Ugly Truth is an atrocious mess from start to finish. There are maybe two actually funny bits, but that's it. The rest of the film is a poorly constructed film with a mediocre cast that delivers forgettable performances. I always felt that Gerard Butler was better in action f... read more

July 31, 2011fb729949618Good acting, but not that original as a romantic comedy.

June 24, 2011Not the best rom-com but it was really funny and some of the scenes had me crying with laughter.
-
April 28, 2011Okay, I admit that I laughed absurdly hard at the dinner orgasm scene, but having a man and woman be really mean to each other does not a movie make. Not to mention that Katherine Heigl is detestable.

April 6, 2011This movie in all honestly wasn't "too" bad. It had it's moments; though none of those moments were particularly funny. Butler was likable... Heigl; not so much. This is a throwaway film and I doubt I'll remember it in a week.

April 3, 2011One of the better more recent Rom-coms and one which most guys will probably find funny as well, in this battle of the sexes. It is predictable, but aren't they all?! It has some quite adult humour and has some very funny scenes and witty dialogue. Check it out even if you normal... read more

The Ugly Truth has a nice moment here and there, but there is much more ugliness than truth. Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Aside from being relational science-fiction, The Ugly Truth feels about 150 years out of date -- or it would, if the script weren't so clinically dependent on the topics of masturbation and genitalia ... Full Review

Kara Nesvig, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Despite the fact that it swims in a veritable ocean of romantic comedy clichés, The Ugly Truth should manage to captivate and charm men and women alike. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Ugly is, indeed, the word for any comedy that manages to insult both its cast and audience with nearly every scene. Full Review
July 24, 2009
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The ugly truth about The Ugly Truth is the fact that -- funny though it is -- it could have been a whole lot funnier. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Romantic comedies are an increasingly debased genre, but few recent Hollywood products have been anywhere near as crass and contrived as The Ugly Truth. Full Review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Until that final, inevitable kiss, we have to listen to them, and the clatter of their crude, brainless exchanges is unbearable. Full Review
July 24, 2009
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
With its set 'em up, knock 'em down series of cliches, The Ugly Truth marks off the romantic comedy checklist. Full Review
