SiM Poster: The Ugly Truth

Butler & Heigl bring star power to new movie with worn-out love story

In Robert Luketic's upcoming romantic comedy The Ugly Truth (Columbia Pictures), Gerard Butler (300) stars as Mike Chadway, a male chauvinist TV correspondent who gets under the skin of the beautiful Abby Richter, a "romantically-challenged" morning TV show producer played by Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up). Guess what? They fall in love! Not exactly a new premise, but with Hollywood elite like Butler and Heigl--and the director of Legally Blonde--this chick flick is sure to be at least a modest box office hit. Set for a July 24th launch, The Ugly Truth also stars TV vets Cheryl Hines (Cheryl in Curb Your Enthusiasm), Eric Winter (Rex in Days of Our Lives) and Bonnie Somerville (Mona in Friends). Here are a couple of the promo posters Columbia has issued for the movie.

How the heck do you know that they fall in love? Have you seen the movie? Have you read the script? Are you giving away a spoiler? Or are you speculating?

Frankly, I think the film looks much more edgy than any romcom. The R rating gives a clue about that. Personally, I'm interested to see what's up with this one.

I can't speak for Myster-E but if I remember correctly when I saw the trailer it showed that they had (or were) falling in love.

There's plenty of information online from critics who have seen the unreleased films, or info. that the studios themselves release, and according to those sources, they fall in love...plus, come on, anyone with any common sense can see that coming from a mile away!
