Great chemistry? familiar formula? or tasty recipe?
A romantically challenged morning show producer (Heigl) is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent (Butler) to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.
Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl, Cheryl Hines, Kevin Connolly. Opens July 24th. Two cute posters after the cut.

We saw a trailer and some extended footage for this at ShoWest. I previously had no interest in seeing the movie, but the audience was really into it and Katherine Heigl looked great.
Sooner or later one of the casting director couplings has to click, right? This looks like a good fit.
Seriously? Isn’t this AWARDS Daily?
I like Gerard Butler best in small films like “Dear Frankie,” not bad musicals, dark warrior films or overly commercial romantic comedies. I won’t even watch this on DVD.
[in sarcasm font] This looks right up there with the masterpiece P.S. I Love You.
HaroldsMaude, maybe like gadizillions of actors butler is taking the /i’ll eventually do a film evryone can enjoy route
My stock comment on Gerard Butler: for a bad actor, he has tremendous range – musical Phantom, muscled Spartan King, Irish rock singer…
Butler selling out, he is an average actor anyway. This movie looks lame. Heigl more appealing and talented than some of her more famous A-list counterparts, cough # Aniston Bullock Jen Garner Meg Ryan # cough. Though she is acting the same in every movie. I wish
she would pick more challenging roles instead of romantic comedies.
Matthew, what happened with him? Why did he sink like this? I
remember A Time to Kill and some of his early hype. He was supposed to be the next Paul Newman or even the next Brad Pitt.
I would say Colin Farrell fared better than he did. He is not even trying to act anymore or pick challenging roles or good movies.
I think both of these movies will do okay at the box office, they
won’t have much of an impact. The trailers already give you an idea
of how the story will unfold. Predictable, formulaic to the core.
terry, i read some tidbit with matthew circa ‘fool’s gold’ and he isn’t interested in uh, doing the sort of roles/movies you’d like him to try.
he said something like he used to think acting was adopting a different/persona/becoming someone else. now he wants to take roles that are bit in common/allows him to come across how he is off screen/in real life.
so that may explain your ‘he is not even trying to act’ vibe
Ugh I am SO sick of Heigl. I cannot wait for her to go back to TV trash where I can ignore her existence.

You can say that again, sartre!
Watermelons, I’m with you. Heigl is overrated and this just smacks of another attempt to find a good vehicle for her. Woman has no range.
sartre, once I invent it, the sarcasm font is going to be called Sarcastique and is going to be instantly recognizable as such.
Posting this trailer is meant to provide context for the half dozen other comedy trailers that we’ve featured over the past couple of days. It’s part of a larger theme being woven together, so thanks to everybody for pulling on this loose thread so the whole damn tapestry unravels
I guess I’ll scrap my designs for Snarkalec Italic Sans Serif, too.
Oh, no I think there are some fine distinctions between Snarkalek Italic Sans Serif and Sarcastique. Carry on, Adams. You’re going to be getting a lot of mileage out of both of them, I suspect.
Wow, a romantic comedy where the female lead loves with her head and the male lead loves with his dick. THAT’S original!
Gerard Butler, if you’re reading this, I’m being sarcastic. Same for you, Katherine Heigl.
Ok! if we are going to post trailers like “The UGLY Truth” on awards daily then I see no reason why Beyonce’s upcoming movie “Obsessed” shouldn’t be posted.
