Last weekend I went with my cousin and her friend to watch "The Ugly Truth" which was highly recommended by one of my friends, N. Well, as all romantic comedies, or chick flicks, they give me an inevitable bipolar reaction: right after the movie my spirits are sky high, 5 minutes later I sink into depression. Why? I had an online conversation with N yesterday asking me if I had liked the movie. We talked about the expectations that filmmakers, especially at Hollywood, set so high, swarming the audience with the Gerard Butlers and the Katherine Heigls, that when you hit reality neither we find our Gerards, nor the guys find their perfect Katherines!
As N very wisely articulated it, the guys are turned off with that not so perfect superficial reality of the Middle Eastern girls, and simply either give up or try to change the girl into a Katherine; while we on the other hand girls go past their initial disappointment of the lack of Gerard's looks and try to find the Gerard deep inside, but sadly that also won't exist.
Hence, it is the UGLY TRUTH of relationships nowadays.
I recommend this movie for the laughs, Katherine's wardrobe, and a nice dose of Gerard Butler ;)
Back to work...
