    The Ugly Truth

    Hubby and I saw The Ugly Truth this weekend. Fun, light-hearted movie which is appropriately rated "R". Language was definitely an issue, but I found the content very 'adult'.

    What surprised hubby and I were all the 'tweens' in the audience. What are parents thinking??? I know kids hear the foul language almost whereever they go...but it was used in very sexual contexts.

    I was uncomfortable sitting in the theater knowing that 10 - 12 year-olds were watching. There were also a couple of toddlers there...but obviously they didn't have a clue what was going on.

    I recommend the movie...but if you go, please leave your children home.
    Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

    I put it on my list last night but was watching the reviews. Most say it starts out great but has a way to predictable ending etc etc. I think I will like it anyway.

    So many movies are just ridicilous with the language anymore. I mean my nephew was watching Step Brothers the other day. I don't like Will Ferrill much anyway but what the heck was all the F word flying around for? Stupid.
    Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    The Ugly Truth is absolutely predictable...and the characters are caricatures (she's an uptight, type-A, contolling woman and he is a misogynist who has been burned one too many times...), but it is funny and good escapism fare.

    But it is VERY adult!!!

    I agree DBF...I am okay with an occasional F-word...but when it becomes distracting to the story...then give it a rest already.

    I agree with the rest of the ladies here.....the movie was funny but was quite graphic and yes, I noticed a lot of young teens in there also. Like everyone said...leave the kids at home but adults will get a chuckle out of it..........oh...and Gerard Butler is worth the ticket price!!!!
