Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Stop giggling about the 'I came' line, get your mind outta the gutter.Ok, I'm really confused, but I have a hunch, so let me speculate here. This film was not great. It was OK, but not really memorable or witty. It was an interesting take to be rooting for the cheaters of the story, and not the one they cheated on (even though we are meant to feel this way, I don't think the script did a good enough job convincing me that the wife cheating on her husband was a good idea). But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because the ending of this story was TERRIBLE. You expect me to feel like this is a happy ending because the 2 leads get together after the guy reconciles with his ex and she (the ex) has done nothing wrong? And the wife says she 'messed up' to her husband, and that's it? It's a clean separation, she has no bad karma or anything? WHAT??? I was so confused that the film just ended with Gilby cheating on his ex, now current girlfriend, and while they were getting along so well too. I didn't want him to end up with the wife! If you wanted me to feel this way, why even put the ex back in the picture? It's like you rewarded your character for lying and cheating by not giving him any consequences. Oh well! Guess I'll just go back to my old girlfriend then! She'll have me back! I learn nothing! I'm a big jerk! CLEARLY!But but but! That's not the best part! The best part is reading all of the ridiculously generic positive reviews for this film, giving it 7 to 9 out of 10 stars for every review! And also this on rotten tomatoes! WHAT?!?!?!? Oh that's rich. That's laughable. The handful of people that saw this film probably all had a really good laugh. The trailer on youtube give all these accolades right at the beginning, for all the film festivals this film has been peddled to, with the palm leaf frame. People like palm leaves, makes things look important, right? But this film is NOT a modern day When Harry Met Sally. All of these reviews were all written in November of last year. Smells like bribes! Might even be all the same person, who knows! I've just never seen anything so manufactured on review pages as I have here. I just had to write something, and I haven't wrote a review in years.Anyway, I love Fran Kranz. He is the very best thing about this film, and you gave him to me in spades. I thank you for that. As for the rest of it, please look up books by Sidney Lumet and then come back to the world of filmmaking, kaythanksbye.

The Truth About Lies was one of the most refreshing romantic comedies that I have seen in a long time. The film followed Gilby, a desperate and unemployed man whose life seems to be a constant trainwreck. In order to achieve success and to impress the woman of his dreams, he begins weaving an ever growing web of lies. The Truth About Lies kept me laughing from beginning to end! Gilby and his ridiculous antics as he tried to impress Rachel was extremely entertaining and fun to watch. Though the film is reminiscent of films such as "Liar, Liar" and "When Harry Met Sally", The Truth About Lies goes above and beyond. The hilarious one-liners and witty banter kept me engaged throughout the film and also excited about what writer/director, Phil Allocco, has left in store. But, besides seamlessly intertwining romance and comedy, the film also did a great of maintaining a level of "realness". I could empathize with Gilby because "adulting" can be extremely difficult and there are times when life really gets you down. I was extremely pleased with The Truth About Lies and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to have a good laugh!

I am already a fan of romantic comedies so I may be biased but I think The Truth About Lies stands apart from the sea of typical rom-coms that are out. The main elements that stood out to me are the dynamic cast and unique, witty writing.The movie has this type of humor that is both quirky and at times, reminiscent of 500 Days of Summer. They managed to avoid the dreaded curse of cheesiness that most romantic comedies succumb to. They pulled off a perfect equilibrium between comedy and relationships which can be appreciated by more than just the "chick-flick" genre lovers. While keeping the writing quick and humorous, the story included real issues, which is rare for comedies. Cheating, lying, and getting your life together are all things everyone can relate to or has experienced at one point. Ironically, it was very honest for being a movie centered on lies.As I said, the cast is also a large part of the hilarity of this movie. Fran Kranz' comedic background is evident in his portrayal of the quirky, awkward male lead. The chemistry between him and Odette Annable was very easy to believe and more likable than a lot of unrequited love stories. It was easy to root for them despite the circumstances. I think the skilled cast in addition to the original writing made this movie one I would recommend to everyone.

Phil Allocco's The Truth About Lies is a rom-com that follows the musings of Gilby (Franz Kranz) a man without a plan. This film is well written and is jam packed with witty banter and situational humor, portrayed by an authentic charismatic cast. The characters are all relatable which is unusual for a rom-com. Allocco does a great job at merging all the markers to make a great film. I really appreciate how director Phil Allocco not only brought to life an original storyline but he gives his audience an unpredictable ending. This film has something for everyone to relate to whether it be the crazy family drama, lackluster love life or the journey towards self discovery. If you're interested in watching a film that presents the true dynamics of relationships in a comedic manner than I strongly recommend watching this film!
