Perfectionist TV producer Katherine Heigl is horrified when chauvinist mouthpiece Gerard Butler is hired in a bid to increase ratings on her morning show. In spite of their mutual antagonism, Butler persuades the romantically challenged Heigl to follow his dating advice (centring on push-up bras and giggling) so she can land handsome doctor Eric Winter. The two leads are alluring solo performers despite a lack of on-screen chemistry, and both enjoy exploring the deep flaws of their characters. Uneven though the script is, it still supplies a steadyish stream of prickly if hardly memorable banter, while the direction by Robert Luketic (Monster-in-Law, Legally Blonde) is solid. As a battle of the sexes, it isn't insightful or surprising. However, despite its predictability, this stirs up just enough trouble to amuse.

A romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.
