I am by no means a connoisseur of romantic comedies, but I found 'The Ugly Truth' too hard to swallow to give it any more than three stars. The movie has many hilarious and somewhat unexpected moments that will leave you laughing, often, as another reviewer has said, to the point of tears. However, the plot line leaves much to be desired and ultimately made the movie fall flat for me. On the good side, though, this is a movie that should please both men and women and does provide enough laughter to set aside other deficiencies.
