A successful career, an expensive car, a big house - all these, of course, are important things for a good and comfortable life. But sometimes, possessing these joys, people remain unhappy. A similar story happened with the characters of the movie “The Naked Truth”, actors whose roles and plot will be discussed below.
Show must go on
In short, the young but already successful girl Abby Richter has her own show on the popular channel in Sacramento. As part of her work, she can solve any problem - to settle a quarrel between the presenters, hide the trouble on the air or make a report if there is no suitable material. But, despite her attractive appearance, she is still lonely.
And this is only half the trouble, the once popular show begins to lose its rating so quickly that the channel’s leadership is going to cover it. Abby is given two weeks to rectify things. And everything changes when the host of the scandalous but popular project “The Naked Truth” is accepted in the show.
The film "The Naked Truth": actors and roles
In fact, the hopeless loneliness of Miss Richter (Katherine Heigl) is rather an exaggeration of reality. She is self-sufficient, ambitious, attractive and certainly not in poverty. So in the world there are many applicants for her hand and heart. The problem is in Abby herself, because in order to become her chosen one, you must have at least a dozen qualities from her personal list. True, so far only her cat D'artanyan could reach such heights.
In general, date after date is wasted. And in the absence of real friends, she has no one to share her grief with. But there is a person nearby who is worried about her. She just doesn't notice it. Loyal assistant Joy
(Bree Turner), to help the boss, praises her every potential groom. The latter, by the way, Colin
(Eric Winter), Abby's new neighbor, seems to like her. But it turns out that the girl does not know how to get close to him.
At work, too, everything became complicated. With the arrival of the new host, Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), all attention is now turned to him, because it is precisely five minutes of his “Naked Truth” that ensures a high rating for her favorite show. Although, maybe not everything is so bad? Mike is a self-confident person, and judging by the program he is transmitting, the man understands women well. Mike knows how relationships are built. And perhaps he will help Abby find an approach to Colin.
Melodramedi
The first part of the film starring in the film “The Naked Truth”, the actors showed the opposition of two people with the same problem - loneliness. Of course, not in the literal sense, because one of them has a sister and a nephew, and the other has a loving cat. But a close person with whom they would like to spend the rest of their life has not yet been found. Both are aware of the deplorable state of their situation. And cleverly hide it behind happy smiles.
But language does not dare to call this whole story sad. Indeed, humor is also enough here. In the film “The Naked Truth”, the actors played a lot of funny situations. This is a comedy.
It's pretty interesting to watch Mike Chadway teach inexperienced Abby the art of pickup. Why is he doing this? The fact is that the man made a bet with her, which will help the girl to find Colin's approach to the ideal from all sides. Therefore, several lessons on building relationships will not interfere with her.
Naturally, there were some dramatic moments that distinguish all comedic melodramas. According to the law of the genre, one of the characters must change, betray or deceive, in order to beg forgiveness for the remaining minutes of the film.
But everything turned out to be much simpler. This time, the actors who starred in the movie Naked Truth did not play a big tragedy. So do not wait for the tearful ending. Nevertheless, even without this, it is interesting to fully observe how the events of the film develop.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that the project of director Robert Luketic is not much different from other films of a similar genre. It turned out pretty interesting, but predictable. Whatever one may say, big fees were provided by the actors of the film “The Naked Truth”. Gerard Butler and Catherine Heigl are popular enough for many to see this picture without reading the description for it. Moreover, the latter has already managed to get their hands on films of similar subjects.
And even though the story told by the actors who starred in the film “The Naked Truth” (2009) cannot be called unique, but it will remain relevant.
