Rom coms galore. Ok so I was recently on a seven hour ferry trip to France fortunately it had a inboard cinema so I basically saw every film out at the moment. That is why I paid good money or films I wouldn't normally watch but I have to say It wasn't all that bad.
Lets start with The Ugly Truth, starring Katherine Heigl as the romantically challenged morning show producer and Gerald Butler as the anti commitment type of guy and directed by Robert Luketic. This film was painfully predictable, It followed the same simple pattern as every other romantic comedy I've seen however Gerald Butler's performance completely turned the film around for me. His line delivery was just excellent his line delivery even rivaled Matthew perry (my favorite actor.) Katherine Heigl's performance was also very good but it was somewhat less noticeable because her lines were less comedic although she was fairly funny at times. A lot of the Ugly Truth segments were actually quite smart and made a lot of sense but if your a guy its the only reason to see the film. The film was pretty straightforward although the end seemed to happen to fast and it felt Incomplete but maybe thats just me.
All in all it was a good rom com but I wouldn't watch it again as It wasn't really my kind of film but If your fond of romantic comedy's then you should see It but unless your a chick your not going to be Impressed by It.
The Proposal put a new twist on the classic pattern that most romantic comedies follow. It starred Ryan Reynolds who is an incredible actor as well as Sandra bullock who is a terrific actress, the plot was good as was the script but despite some funny moments I was surprisingly bored by the film. Sandra Bullock's performance was top notch and she had some very funny lines, Reynold's performance was good but he needed better lines the writers should have trusted him with some better lines. The film's plot really wasn't as funny as the trailer made it out to be as all the films best bits were in the trailer. Even though the proposal had a better cast and a better story I preferred the ugly truth because it was simply the better film even though the proposal should of been the better film. There really is no reason to see this unless your stuck on a boat for seven hours because the proposal was extremely predictable, very rarely funny and the supporting cast was boring and to be honest unnecessary.So in conclusion see the ugly truth and watch the trailer for the proposal.
