Gerard Butler = Romantic Turd


Gerard Butler's "romantic" movies are all the same:
He plays a turd who fights nonstop with some stuck-up career-obsessed chick.
This is romance? Fighting and name-calling until you either have to kill each other or screw?

Do women really think this is they type of man they want?

- The Ugly Truth
- The Bounty Hunter

Another film, "Leap Year" follows the same premise, and the male lead does his best Gerard Butlet imitation.

I actually haven't seent The Bounty Hunter yet. Was thinking about it and came to these boards to help make up my mind. I'm deciding no.

Regarding Gerry, though, I absolutely loved him in P.S. I Love You and Dear Frankie - two very different characters from the ones in The Ugly Truth and The Bounty Hunter.

Dear Frankie is a great one to contrast his a$$holery in the other romances. I feel like a lot of his older movies are better than some of the crap he's making now.

Timeline and Attila, while not specifically romance, are also movies worth checking out.

His character was great. You might not be so perfect either
