"The Ugly Truth"

: Katherine Heigl is a romantically challenged morning show producer whose bosses team her with a hard-core TV personality (Gerard Butler) who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick. "The Ugly Truth" is a throwback rom-com but with risque patter and panties. Heigl seems game for anything and Butler's masculine charm meter is cranked up to high. They have more chemistry than Heigl and Seth Rogen ("Knocked Up") or Butler and Hilary Swank ("P.S. I Love You"). However, they are not always well served by the predictable screenplay, which is lacking in intelligent banter and creative daring.

"The Accidental Husband": Uma Thurman is a famous love expert and radio host who is caught between two men: her intended, a publishing executive played by Colin Firth, and a neighborhood fireman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, burned by her advice to his former fiancee.
