The Ugly Truth
Abby (Katherine Heigl) is a successful, single television producer who's beyond picky when it comes to potential mates. Mike (Gerard Butler) is a new guest commentator whose shallow, chauvinistic personality dances on Abby's every last nerve. She strikes a deal with Mike: if she follows his advice on how to snare a certain sexy surgeon and it doesn't work, he'll quit the show. Either way Abby wins. Either she gets the perfect man or gets rid of the perfect nightmare. Sometimes, though, perfection lurks where you least expect it.
