Perhaps there is no greater truth in life than this: Opposites attract. If you don’t believe me, just ask Paula Abdul. If you don’t believe her, Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler’s new film, The Ugly Truth, might set you straight.
The ugliest truth of all might be this: The Ugly Truth is terrible, a fact Katherine Heigl must have been aware of since she suddenly decided not to jump ship on Grey’s Anatomy after months of threatening to sail on to calmer movie star waters. This, however, is certainly not the film that’s going to make her A-list dreams come true.
