The Ugly Truth
The Ugly Truth is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Robert Luketic, written by Nicole Eastman, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. The film was released in North America on July 24, 2009 by Columbia Pictures, and was panned by critics, with the Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus stating that "despite the best efforts of Butler and Heigl", the film "suffers from a weak script that relies on romantic comedy formula". It was a commercial success, grossing $205 million against a budget of $38 million.

- This is beautiful. - Now, we're at the balloon festival... ...and I'm supposed to be telling you about how men are full of hot air. But I think we all know, it's the ladies that are full of crap. Just because she says no, doesn't mean she means no. If that were the case, I'd have only 90 women...

I'm sorry... ... but Jack Magnum will no longer be able to do The Ugly Truth. Which should really come as no surprise... ...because men are completely unreliable. What is she doing? Yes? Yes, Harold? Yes. Yes, I know. We're fixing it. Take Mike Chadway, for instance. He up and quit the show without so much as a word. You think you know what men are gonna do, you think you know... ... what men want to do. But when it comes down to that moment... ... where they actually need to step up and, I don't know, make a move... ... they chicken out.

- I am all over this. - Where are you going? - We're live in two. - It's going great, isn't it? The big, strong, brave men that we've all been reading about... ...in novels and watching in movies since we were 9 years old... ...that's a fallacy. They don't exist. Men are not strong. Men are not brave. Men are afraid. It's all part of the show. It's an Andy Kaufman thing we're doing. Even if they have a moment in a hotel elevator... ... and it's totally romantic and full of potential... ...men are incapable of copping to it. Because why? Men are weak. Let me tell you something about women.

- Hey. - Woman would have us believe... ...that they are the victims. That we break their hearts for sport. - I thought he quit. - That's crap. See? I told you we'd get him back. They say they want true love, but all they want is a checklist. Is he perfect? Is he handsome? Is he a doctor? For you men who fit the criteria... ... don't kid yourselves, they're not sleeping with you. They're sleeping with a carefully calculated set of venal choices. Money over substance, looks over soul. Polish over principles. No gesture, no matter how real or romantic... ...will ever compensate for a really impressive list of credentials. This coming from a man who's never made a gesture... ...other than this one.

Oh, so the elevator wasn't a gesture? The elevator was a moment of passion... ...followed by a moment of panic on your part, apparently. - Panic? I came by your room. - Yes, and then you ran away. That wasn't panic, sweetheart. That was an unwillingness to compete... ...with the walking checklist that was in your bed. You should be thanking me. We got 10 seconds. Are we ready to soar up, up and away? Well, there you have it, folks. That's the ugly truth. A girl in heat for two guys... ...will choose the one with the better r�sum�. That is bullsh...

Oh, I know. I got a great idea. Why don't we pass the time with you telling me... ...how much fun you and Colin had having sex in Los Angeles? I broke up with Colin in Los Angeles, you jackass. On our left, you'll see the High Sierras... - What? - Oh, yeah. That's got your interest. If you think we're gonna finish what we started... ...you're out of your mind. You lost your chance. Oh, come on. I never had a chance with you. And to our right here, you'll see the lovely Sacramento River... ...winding its way through the dichromatic landscape. Could you please stop talking? Thank you. You're right. I had a momentary lapse in judgment... ...when I thought you were more than you are, but you aren't. Oh, yeah? Well, what does that mean? "I'm Mike Chadway. I like girls in Jell-O. I like to fuck like a monkey. Don't fall in love, it's scary." Oh, for God's sakes, there's the first one. Yeah, it is scary. It's terrifying. Especially when I'm in love with a psycho like you. I am not a psycho. Love?

I just told you that I loved you, and all you heard was "psycho." - You're the definition of neurotic. - No. The definition of neurotic... ...is a person who suffers from anxiety, obsessive thoughts, compulsive acts... ...without any objective evidence of... - Shut up. Yet again, I just told you I'm in love with you... ...and you're standing here giving me a vocabulary lesson. You're in love with me. Why? Beats the shit out of me... ...but I am. Oh, Mike. - You're amazing. - I am? Oh, you're a god. - Really? - Oh, God!
