An excellent romantic comedy with a great central duo. Gerard Butler is properly cheeky and his sexual innuendos to women carry the whole film. Katherine Heigl is very cute and properly sassy. Great dirty fun with a novel idea... 80%

Katherine Heigl shines and Gerard Butler relishes every juicy line, but the whole studio plot, stupid supporting characters, and actually even the spicy commentary on truth felt like a betrayal compared to what I was expecting from the trailers, and I had to do my best not to write the off movie at that very moment. The paradox is that when it slows down, the innuendos disappear, and the romance reaches top speed, I completely melted and, thanks to the actors' dramatic talent, thoroughly enjoyed the last half hour. However, due to higher expectations and the jarring unevenness of the individual scenes, disappointment prevails.

Fans of the romance genre might enjoy this affair because it moves precisely within the boundaries that they are accustomed to, and it is additionally seasoned with humor, although the kind that we have seen and heard many times before. Katherine Heigl, in her professional position, possesses an excessive amount of social naivety, and Gerard Butler is slightly cheeky and nonconformist, but only enough so that the film does not risk any category of inaccessibility and, God forbid, does not deviate from the mainstream. Overall impression: 40%.

I can't help it, but I only have good feelings associated with this film. Yes, I like Gerard, there's nothing I can do about it, but I found the comedy entertaining, and the chemistry between the characters absolutely great. I know the rating is somewhat exaggerated, but I had a great time watching it, and that's the main thing I expected from the film. For that reason, I'm giving it a high rating because I actually remember this romantic comedy quite well, which isn't always the case.

This was a good comedy as long as it was about the ugly truth. The moment the film turned into a sappy romance, it lost its appeal to me. If I weren't mentally prepared for such an ending it would have spoiled my impression of the whole film. Luckily, I managed to keep calm and carry on. I enjoyed Gerard Butler, I didn't mind Katherine Heigl this time, although I really can't stand that brutally fake smile of hers. The shattering of ideals was excellent. There's nothing like a good clash with harsh reality. Anyway, despite the fiasco in the final quarter, I'm giving it a 4*-.
