Reviews

The Ugly Truth received mixed reviews from critics, with a rating of 6.4/10 on IMDb, 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 28/100 on Metacritic. While some praised the chemistry between Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler as well as the humor in the film, others found the plot to be predictable and the characters lacking depth. Variety described it as 'a formulaic yet moderately enjoyable rom-com', highlighting the charismatic performances, while The Guardian criticized it for its stereotypical portrayal of gender dynamics. Despite its shortcomings, The Ugly Truth manages to entertain with its blend of humor and romance, making it a popular choice for fans of the genre.
