The Ugly Truth

Went to watch this last night with the wife. Theater was crowded and there was much laughter to be found throughout the movie. Decent with quite a few laugh out loud moments.
Actually better than I expected - not bad at all (but not as good as the proposal imo). Decent on screen chemistry - some amount of eye candy (not a lot but some).
Quite a bit of vulgarity (subject appropriate but there) not one I would take the kids to (or anyone else you are not comfortable discussing sex with) but still good.
Audio quality was very good, video quality was quite bad at times. Many outdoor shots were noticably soft and out of focus - most shots with people were fine.
We will probably purchase when it comes out, but will not be watching it in front of the kids anytime soon......
6 out of 10 for me. (if you like most chick flicks - you will like this one. If you don't the chances drop to more like a 50/50 shot)
