Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

destinisheltonr After watching The Truth About Lies by Phil Allocco, I was taken on an emotional roller coaster filled with an interesting mix of banter, heartbreak, drama and even more witty humor! In this unconventional love story, with the awesome talents of Odette Annable (SuperGirl), Fran Kranz (The Cabin in the Woods), Colleen Camp (American Hustle), Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It's Always Sunny), Allocco follows a desperate man who gets caught up in a web of lies which inevitably gets unveiled. This witty comedy is about self- discovery, finding love, and unveiling the truth. "With all jokes aside", it had a lot of depth and was very well-written. Particularly with this romantic comedy, one of my favorite aspects of the film was its unconventionality and direction. The "shifts" he took between drama and comedy were not what we are used to in typical feature films. It was also unexpected and carefully orchestrated, Allocco really knew what he was doing with this one! What I love most about independent films like this, is the freedom to dive deeper into an idea without the blockbuster mentality. Though this is "not-your-typical-rom com", it did something interesting with the genres that is refreshing compared to what we are used to. Much of the success of the film goes to the amazingly talented cast. Their characters and their chemistry really carried the director's vision- -they did a great job capturing that. Overall, I think the film was very well-done and I highly recommend a watch.

lindsmead A dynamic film on relationships, family drama and self discovery, The Truth About Lies is an outrageously amusing romantic comedy that I cannot get enough of. Fran Kranz (Gilby) and Odette Annabelle (Rachel) did a stupendous job playing their characters and produced incredible cast chemistry between one another. Besides the fact of this film having an enticing unconventional love story, I appreciate the other elements such as coming to terms with your identity and facing heartbreak. The "fake it till you make it" theme of the movie was also one of my favorite parts. It reminded me of films like Catch Me If You Can and Just Go With It. In my opinion, this film was very well written and had a refreshingly original storyline. While it contained a lot of situational humor, I was still able to relate to it because of the family drama and the indecisive relationship issues with cheating and scandalous love affairs. I'm pretty sure there's at least one aspect people could relate to in this film. Hats off to director Phil Allocco, extraordinary job.

kevincruzfilmz The love story between the self-discovering characters in The Truth About Lies mixed in with the hipster comedy reminded me of college life and how dramatically funny people can be. The things done for love is something that has been taken to a level that is cringy yet amusing to watch in this film. The narcissism in some of the characters creates a realistic trait that is all too recognizable and certainly entertaining. Sharon (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is by far a model example for this feature as she phenomenally performed her role as the self- absorbed girlfriend. On top of that, my favorite scene was when Gilby (Fran Kranz) was confronted with a relentless customer who made his job little harder. As a customer service worker, I can relate to his pain but also laugh with him on how irrational people can be. I recommend this lovable rom com to those who enjoy laughing at life's cringy yet teachable moments.

jonalves I've only seen a handful of romantic comedies, 500 Days of Summer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Say Anything are my favorites. So, I was skeptical when going into watching The Truth About Lies. However, after watching the film I would definitely put this in one of my top romantic comedies list. The film had the perfect blend of comedy and romance. The genuine chemistry between the two leads was very prevalent throughout the film as they were seen giving off great lines to each other and feeding off of them as well. It was almost as if they were friends since college. The romance in the film also felt extremely natural and I found myself rooting for the couple the whole time. The Truth About Lies is a film that will touch your heart and have you laughing at the same time, truly a remarkable film in the rom-com genre.
