Sacramento Strip Clubs: The Ugly Truth
Who’s It For? The R-rated dating crowd that only like the illusion of seeing a movie empowering to both men and women. Though it’s written by three women and even produced by Heigl, The Ugly Truth has much more of a “men”tality than one would expect.
Expectations: Considering the compelling casting, I had hopes that this would be a funny relationship comedy with some genuine laughs. I was even thinking this movie could enlighten us onto how the opposite sex thinks.

Actors:
Katherine Heigl as Abby Richter: Despite the roles assigned to her by Butler’s character, Heigl is more amusing as “the librarian” than “the stripper.” Abby’s moments of sexiness always have the creepy course of an agenda, often controlled by Mike (or even worse, the film’s script). Her chemistry with the piggish Chadway is at least more interesting when it is a clear example of positive vs. negative.
