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.
Hold on. Oh, you're a dog. - What? - Well, you must be. Come on, you heard me. I mean, if you were... If you were hot, you would be out breaking some poor schmuck's heart... ... instead of spending all your time fantasizing about Mr. Wonderful. Face it... ... you're ugly. I am not ugly. Well, okay, let me help you out here. You might as well face the fact that you're gonna be alone... ... and stop pining away for some fantasy guy you're never gonna get. - How can you possibly...? - Hey, Lassie. The show's called The Ugly Truth. If you can't face it, don't call. That wraps it up for this evening. I'm Mike Chadway reminding you that the truth is never pretty. How'd the date go?

- Face it, you're ugly. - I am not ugly. - Well... - Why are we watching this? Say hello to our new guest commentator. I'm starting him at two segments a week, three minutes a pop. - Are you kidding me? - Who the hell is this guy? - Name's Mike Chadway. - And he's an uber-moron misogynist... ...who represents everything wrong with television and society. I get crap every time I suggest we do something remotely fluffy.

Oh, come on. He's got a point of view. We don't have to like it. I mean, we're newspeople. We're objective. Stone Phillips interviews terrorists. Doesn't mean he likes them, he does it for ratings. I have a list of ideas to improve ratings. - You'll like it. We don't need him. - Not at all. - "An intimate profile of the mayor." - I like that. - I like the mayor. - Fantastic.

I am an award-winning news producer. Award-winning producer. I am an award-winning news producer. I am an award-winning news producer. You're an award-winning news producer. - You don't knock? - Well, I did knock. You didn't answer. So essentially, your knock was negated by your complete lack of adherence... ...to the social etiquette that follows a knock.

You're wound like a fucking top. Woof, woof. Remember the bark? Last night, a little phone conversation we had. Yeah. Hey, what do you know? You're not ugly at all. Oh, well, imagine my relief. I want to thank you for getting me this gig. I would never have gotten it without you. You and I, we make good TV. You make imbecilic trash... ...watched by housebound inbreds who are so busy... ...with their hands down their pants, they can't change the remote. I hadn't been picturing you that way, but it's a nice image. I do not watch your program. My cat stepped on the remote. Oh, you want to thank your pussy for me, then?
