    Watched a hilarious movie last night. ‘The Ugly Truth’ is about a woman who wants a boyfriend but has to work with the most obnoxious guy ever who keeps telling her how to get one. She has her own ideas and it gets funny fast!

    I have a movie to recommend to you Brenda. It's from 2009, so you probably saw it already. But if not, watch The Ugly Truth.

    Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. It feels like this is after all the uproar with Katherine Heigl ("27 Dresses") and she was trying to come back with a smile on her face, but she took the role because it gave her the opportunity to act the awful person she was accused of being.
