Gerard Butler and Kathering Heigl first hate, then warm up to each other in Robert Luketic's romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth," about a TV producer struggling to keep control of a ruthless host. Here's what some of the Web's critics have to say about the film:

• Cinema Blend's Katey Rich: "As the story wraps up and everyone gathers round to watch Mike and Abby come together at last, it's disturbing to realize that no one in this movie has actually learned anything."

• Cinematical's Jeffrey M. Anderson: "The answer is because The Ugly Truth actually knows next to nothing about dating advice, the behaviors of men and women, or much of anything else romantically human. It's a factory widget created in a boardroom."

• Joblo's Chris Bumbray: "It`s just a real shame that this is what passes for a rom-com these days."

• Cole Abaius at FilmSchoolRejects: "Over all, the movie has some fantastic strong points, but they are fighting, struggling, killing themselves up against the albatross of Katherine Heigl."

• Colin Boyd at Get the Big Picture: "As for the film in question, You have to have a pretty dim view of movies to genuinely enjoy The Ugly Truth, and you have to have a sadly immature view of love to think that any minute of this film is genuine."
