Here – The Ugly Truth
Good: Very Funny. You expect Katherine Heigl to be funny after her performance in knocked up but the real laughs come from Gerard Butler. Yes, the Gerard Butler who had abs of steel in 300 and made every girl cry in P.S. I Love You. This movie bluntly hits all the problems with the male/female relationship and has you roling while it does.
Bad: The movie somewhat short and makes you want a little more. The plot is easily predictable and sometimes gets bogged down in the “does he, does he not” stuff.
Verdict: This movie is great. It’s easily this week’s winner as it has a plot that both guys and girls can relate too. It’s funny and smart with great memorable moments. Don’t expect any academy awards but it makes for a nice night away from reality.
There – He’s Just Not That Into You
Good: The cast is amazing: Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck and Justin Long. The acting is pretty good and more importantly believable. This movie hits on all the fopas and problems people run into while on the dating scene.
Bad: They are spot on with many situations, but some characters disgust you and it takes away from the enjoyment of the movie. The abundance of characters and webs sometimes get you confused and it’s hard to stay with at times.
Verdict: This is a descent date movie as it is a true chick flick, but for the guys I recommend trying to persuade your girl to anything else you’ll spend three hours answering questions like “do guys really do that?” and “you’ve never done that right?” Save yourself and take her out, it may cost more but you’ll be happier in the end.
