The Ugly Truth is a great movie! It's funny and romantic, especially at the end when Mike tells Abby he loves her, which is something I didn't expect the first time watching it but after seeing the movie a few times I noticed all the hints given throughout the movie that hinted at the fact that he was falling for her. Abby lives her life looking for the "perfect" man. She has this big checklist that the guy of her dreams should have or be like. When she finds this guy, Mike helps her get him to fall for her by being the girl guys want. Abby later realizes that this guy doesn't like her for her, but likes her for the person Mike told her to be. She tells him the truth and breaks up with him. Mike is very bitter about relationships in the movie. He doesn't believe in love because of all the bad relationships he's been through. I think he is very smart about guys and girls. He knows so much about what guys want [since he is one himself], and about what girls want in a guy. My favorite statement he makes is: "they're not sleeping with you, they're sleeping with a carefully calculated set of venal choices. Money over substance, looks over soul, polished over principles. No gesture, no matter how real or romantic will ever compensate for a really impressive list of credentials."
It's a very true statement, maybe not for all women but most. Men do it too and its wrong, that's probably why the divorce rate is so high. If people dated each other because of who they are instead of what they have.
