The Ugly Truth

I love a sappy, romantic comedy, the more unrealistic the better. OR SO I THOUGHT. For some reason I just don't like Katherine Heigl either. I don't know why, it's inexplicable. She isn't believable to me as a straight laced business woman. I felt the same way about Knocked Up, a movie I like to say I loved "in spite of her" being in it. I did still enjoy The Ugly Truth, but as much as I like a far fetched love story, but these characters have attributes that I don't want to see changed. Love requires some compromise, of course. But if you're a control freak who has a checklist of criteria you want in a man - you go girl! That's not a crime. And if you're a super hot stud who wants to bang the hottest chick he can find? Go for it. Not that neither of these people will never settle or change their beliefs, but this movie progresses too quickly from one to the other, based on nothing besides looks. Yes, it's a movie. I know how movies work. But if Katherine Heigl's character were played by a dumpy overweight brunette who wears glasses, but had the exact same personality, Gerard Butler's character wouldn't have given a damn about how quirky she is.
