Now on DVD: “The Ugly Truth”

The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler is being released on DVD tomorrow and I didn’t see it in the theater and I’m not completely sure I’m going to rent it either (I’m definitely not going to buy it).

I’m more of an action fan so romantic comedies tend to annoy me but sometimes they can be fun.  The film is intended to portray a battle of the sexes but I’m not sure it accomplishes anything other than being predictable.

Mike (Butler) is a TV star and Abby (Heigl) is the morning show producer.  They work together so I guess it would make sense that he would give her some relationship advice.  She tries to take his suggestions to heart but they yield unexpected results (two guesses – these two fall in love instead).

If you’re in need of a date movie this week, this is probably a good option but I’m not sure I would go out of my way to see it.
