I watched the film, The Ugly Truth, with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler and loved it! It was the type of romantic comedy that a guy can appreciate. The whole time Gerard Butler's character, Mike, tells you how men really think and Katherine Heigl's character, Abby, is an uptight, "award-winning news producer" who can't stand Mike because of what he represents: a rude, crude, misogynist man-whore.
My fiance and I cracked up the entire time. Abby is uptight, delusional about relationships, and consantly critical about what people say or do. She's not interested in getting to know a man, she just wants to know the bottom line: Where does my guy fit on my 10-point checklist? Her obsession with tap water versus bottled and how there is no difference between the two perfectly exemplified her personality.
But the true depth of character came from Gerard's Mike when you realized that he wasn't saying all of these derogatory things about woman because of his innate personality; he had been truly heartbroken over and over and finally decided he was going to make a living off trying to tell off the "other sex".
He truly has sex "like he's out for revenge, or something."
It was all about the difference between men and women and how they view love and sex. In the end, neither of them win, but they do find love.
