What happens

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. Polar opposites, producer Abby Richter and sexist TV presenter Mike Chadway must work together on his misogynistic morning show segment on modern relationships, resulting in unexpected chemistry between them. 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
