When I went to the movies this weekend to see "The Ugly Truth," it was mostly to get some fodder for the weekly movie column I write for the Weekend Pinnacle (www.pinnaclenews.com/life.)
I figured it was going to be predictable, but maybe it would have a few laughs. As it turns out, the laughs were few and far between. The humor in the movie can only be described as raunchy and it was one that brought to life one more strong female character (Katherine Heigl as Abby) who turns into a dithering idiot when a cute guy walks in the room.
The whole time I was watching the movie, I felt like the Mike Chadway character (played by Gerard Butler) was based on a Web site that promotes the Ladder Theory. Google it for more, but the premise of the theory is basically that women are cruel and men will sleep with any woman. It's pretty crude, but so much like the words that came out of Mike's mouth in the movie I thought there must be a connection.
