A definite chick-flick, this romantic comedy will have females flocking to the cinema, while leaving men recoiling at the thought of another predictable happy-ending tale about finding love.
Abby Richter (Heigl) is a successful morning TV producer who has very little success in dating. On a quest for Mr Perfect, Abby has a rude awakening when she’s partnered up at work with Mike Chadway (Butler), a TV personality with some rather chauvinistic views on women and dating.
Abby reluctantly agrees to put some dating theories to the test under the guidance of Mike, but as his points are proven his advice on love takes an unexpected turn This funny, tongue-in-cheek romance plays out the ultimate battle of the sexes and takes a playful yet cringingly truthful look at how the intrepid world of dating differs for men and women. A definite must-see for a girly night out
