5. The Ugly Truth
If youve seen any film starring Katherine Heigl, youve seen The Ugly Truth. Its a painfully generic film. Uptight, neurotic girl cant hold down a relationship, employs the help of best friend / work colleague (the only spice of variety in these films) to help her get the man, gets the man but realises she doesnt actually love him because she loves the aforementioned best friend / work colleague, they kiss, roll credits. 90% of Hollywood romantic comedies follow this formula, so why should you care about The Ugly Truth? You shouldnt. Simple as. Gerard Butler tries his hand at some soppy, lovey dovey acting and isnt too bad, but a far cry from his action / thriller best. Katherine Heigl plays Katherine Heigl. And then theres a bunch of one dimensional supporting players, including the third side in this poorly constructed love triangle. Or perhaps Im just jealous that my life doesnt follow these romantic conventions. Well, conventions. Maybe I am bitter.
