This is my 20th year of marriage and the Ugly Truth is just what you'd expect.
Actually, I'm talking about the movie.
The Wife's favorite genre of film is the romantic comedy. I've watched so many in two decades that the fact that the Ugly Truth is predictable and formulaic and the jokes painfully bad is the opposite of a surprise.
The Ugly Truth's plot is a lot like He's Just Not That Into You. Guy teaches gal what guys really want. It's just that Ugly is, well, ugly in its crassness.
But it is not the absolute worst example of a romantic comedy. That award goes to New In Town. That was just so bad on so many levels.
Having such a limited range of movies we watch, it's no wonder that The Wife and I are big fans of the self-service Red Box movie rental machines. For $1.09, you really can't be too disappointed.
