Die nackte Wahrheit: Directed by Robert Luketic. With Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Bree Turner, Eric Winter. An uptight television producer takes control of a morning show segment on modern relationships hosted by a misogynistic man.

“Truthfully, Iu0026#39;m not a huge fan of Gerard Butler, and Iu0026#39;m really not that familiar with Katherine Heigl, so I canu0026#39;t say that I went into this movie with particularly high expectations. But I have to confess that I was surprised. This is actually a very enjoyable movie, and at times (Iu0026#39;m thinking of the scene in the restaurant) itu0026#39;s downright hilarious. Heigl plays Abby, the uptight producer of a local Sacramento morning TV show whou0026#39;s always on the lookout for love but never finds it. Meanwhile, Mike (played by Butler) is the obnoxious host of an obnoxious talk show about relationships who gets hired for the morning show (against Abbyu0026#39;s wishes) in the hopes of boosting ratings.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOK. You can pretty much see where this is going to end up so it canu0026#39;t be considered especially original, and itu0026#39;s true that once it takes its predictable turn (which is thankfully fairly late in the movie) it becomes rather formulaic as opposites attract and romance blossoms, etc., etc. But the story goes on for a while before that angle gets introduced, and thereu0026#39;s a lot of fun along the way, especially as Abby and Mike first become friends and Abby tries to reinvent herself with Mikeu0026#39;s help in order to snare a local doctor sheu0026#39;s attracted to (whou0026#39;s played by Eric Winter.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, by the end itu0026#39;s quite predictable and the last 20 minutes or so become a little dull to be honest. But before then this movie does have a lot of laughs. Butler and Heigl also played their parts well and worked well together. It is at times (fairly often actually) a bit crude, so itu0026#39;s not for those who are looking for a sweet, innocent romance. But for a few laughs, this is worth watching. (7/10)”
