This movie is about Abby Richter, played by Katherine Heigl, who wants to find the perfect guy. She is not very smooth and doesn’t know what she is doing wrong. Abby is a morning show producer, and she happens to watch a segment of a local television show, “The Ugly Truth,” the host is Mike Chadway, played by Gerard Butler, he is a chauvinist who irritates Abby into calling the show and commenting on air. The next day she finds out that her morning show needs more ratings and her boss has hired Mike to do a segment on their show to boost ratings.
These two do not start off good. Abby is a control freak and Mike is disgusting, or at least that’s what they think of each other. A new guy is about to come into Abby’s life and he is “the man of her dreams”. She tries to impress him so much that it starts to scare him off until Mike comes to her rescue. He gives her his advice and to her surprise it actually works. Their deal is that if his advice helps her get the man she wants then she will work with him happily, but if it doesn’t he agrees to quit the morning show.
Mike succeeds at helping the ratings of the show, and successfully guides Abby to be exactly what her perfect guy would want. Mike finds that Abby is actually the perfect girl for him and although they have so many differences they end up together and being happy with one another’s flaws.
This light-hearted movie did not have great reviews, but I enjoyed it. Critics said it was a formula movie in which boy meets girl and lives happily ever after. Although this is true, it was humorous and caught my attention from the beginning. I thought when the cat ran up into the tree was one of the funniest scenes, and when Mike kissed Abby in the elevator was the most romantic scene. If you enjoy Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses then you will enjoy this movie. Since this was a “chick flick” most of the people in the audience were female, but there were a few males. Many in the theater were laughing and smiling and seemed to be enjoying the movie.
