When the boss is in the meeting room about to introduce Mike, the picture frames of Larry and Georgia in the background change places repeatedly between shots.

When Abby meets Mike in the hotel lobby, a girl in a blue dress is behind Mike.

When Abby enters from the other direction, the same girl in a blue dress is behind her.

Abby and Mike go to a club after visiting the Late Late Show.

Abby is alternately holding a glass and not holding it between shots.

The amount of liquid in her cup changes throughout the scene.

When Abby gets out of the car at the LA hotel, the sentences she mumbles aren't the same words you hear.

When Mike helps Abby talk to Colin on the phone, a green light appears when Colin is on hold.

As the scene switches back and forth, the light turns red at one point, then back to green.

Colin was on hold the entire time.

When Abby is on the "kiss cam" at the baseball game, the Devils are ahead 4-1.

The scoreboard doesn't change when the batter hits a run-scoring single.

When Mike makes a comment about "Irish 'Craig Ferguson (I)' (qv)," he's making fun of Abby's awful attempt to speak in a Scottish accent; he's not saying Craig Ferguson is Irish.

When Mike and Abby are on camera on the hot-air balloon, it is secured to the basket and balloon lines.

When they move around, the basket and lines move with them while the camera remains still.

The balloon festival is given to be in or near Sacramento.

Sacramento law prohibits hot air balloons from flying around the city due to a fire hazard.

It is one of a few cities in the world to have this law.

The festival actually takes place in Temecula, over 450 miles to the south of Sacramento.

When Mike and Abby take off in the hot air balloon, the background shot shows the balloon high in the air (at least above the height of other balloons).

However, the next shot of Mike trying to get off shows the balloon nowhere near that far off the ground.

Mike's show "The Ugly Truth" airs on the local channel 83.

Mike asks if Abby is calling from Europe.

It's impossible for Europe to receive the channel that airs his show.

When Abby calls Colin the first time and Mike hangs up on him there is a dial tone on Colin's line but the cordless Mike is holding is not disconnected yet.

There shouldn't be a dial tone beacause his phone is still connected.

Various cast members refer to the Sacramento station morning show as "a network" or "network program.

" It appears to be a local TV station.

Reviews

The Ugly Truth is a brutal movie with a really stupid storyline that was clearly placed together for comedy but is not at all funny,and most of the jokes in this movie are incredibly sexist to both genders,that what they relied on as being funny for the whole movie,get one gender to insult the opposite gender.While I have liked Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in previous movies i've seen them in,I just couldn't enjoy them in this,especially Butler's character,he was just irritating and not one bit funny,he's a great serious actor,and he clearly was only in this for the money.

Worth a watch. Too précised that you'll love it!

What is this? The whole movie is basically just about that men are pigs and women are hot.

Well, the ugly truth is that this movie sucks. Everything is so sexist.

This movie was the sort of movie I started watching because it was late at night, there was nothing else on and you found out in the opening credits that Gerard Butler was starring in the movie, so I gave it ago. By the end of the film I don't think I've ever laughed so much for a movie in a long time.

The Ugly truth is actually a pretty good romantic comedy. Gerard Butler is good as the starring role, and so is Katherine Heigl.

"The Ugly Truth" is a Comedy - Romance movie in which we watch the relationship between a misogynistic man who is a host of a morning show about relationships and a very strict woman who is a television producer.Despite that I didn't have high expectations from this movie I have to admit that I was disappointed by it.

Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is a high maintenance dater, producer of a lowly rated morning show about to be canceled. Her boss hires male chauvinist call-in show host Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler).

Lots of sex jokes, lots of male sexist remarks, lots of dumb blond jokes. Is it funny?
