The Truth About Lies (2018)

There are a few interesting things about this movie:Odette Annable never looked better It actually looked like she can act There are interesting quotes about lies and lying throughout the movieThe view of people and how they lie to each other and themselves, often for no particular reason or purpose, then get into trouble for itOtherwise, it's not very fun or funny, though it has its moments. Although the ending is not very good, it's not bad and the movie doesn't fall apart near the end, like lots of modern comedies do.Bottom line, it's an unusual and passable comedy, worth a watch.

The Truth about lies is an exceptional film! Depicting how lies and "faking it till you make it" can trap someone in a web of dishonestly, director Phil Allocco goes above and beyond in this unconventional love story. While the film was full of quirky and embarrassing moments, it was undeniably funny. Allocco was able to honestly and comically portray a taboo relationship between a man and his boss's wife, and how it may realistically end!! I was presently surprised by the quality of actors and overall plot development. Lies and love have never been so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

One of the most incredible things in cinema is that for an hour and a half the problems are not yours. In this movie, we follow Gilby Smalls, a guy with a tremendous amount of bad luck but also an incredible talent to get out of trouble. Fran Kranz gives an impressive comically-skilled performance that allowed me to immerse into the story from the very beginning. Phil Allocco, the director, led the cast marvelously to enhance the story and make it even more entertaining. There is a strong similitude to the movie MANHATTAN, as the main character's neurotic and nervous personality keeps this film dynamically funny and relatable. You will be too busy laughing while trying to figure out how the characters will get out of trouble. Well directed, wonderfully acted, hilariously realistic and entirely recommended.

Rom-coms tend to cater more towards an older audience and for this reason I tend to shy away from them. Surprisingly, that wasn't the case for this movie. This film completely captured my attention and I was able to connect to it on a personal level. It was nice seeing someone else going through the same struggles that I am going through, and then little by little overcoming them in a humorous way. Odette Annable had a standout role. She was able to carry on the plot, which consisted of getting Gilby's life together, while also delivering her hilarious scenes and many punchlines without being awkward or cringy. Phil Allocco was able to portray the many hardships and heartbreaks in a very comical but meaningful way. He also provided a dynamic story-line without getting off-track and losing the audience, which is also another big deal in my eyes. A rom-com that actually had a meaning, therefore I will be recommending.
