Film Critic Quote of the Day

Alonso Duralde of MSNBC on the aptly named "The Ugly Truth":

Heigl, it should be noted, is one of the film’s executive producers. That she had the gall to complain about the sexism of “Knocked Up” while spearheading “The Ugly Truth” — a film in which the female lead is an uptight twit who is constantly put in her place — is astounding... Butler never makes Mike more than a sitcom stereotype of a knuckle-dragging sexist; it doesn’t help that cinematographer Russell Carpenter seems to have conspired with the hair and makeup people to make the usually handsome actor look like a walking amalgam of the worst facets of all four Baldwin brothers.
If you're thinking about going to do this, see "(500) Days of Summer" instead. Please. You'll thank me.
