I had the opportunity to see The Whole Truth this evening and wanted to take a moment and praise it.
It's been a long time since I've been able to sit through a "comedy" while laughing and enjoying the whole thing - even through the credits. This was not a difficult story, this was what I call "mind candy." I was able to stay interested to find out what was going to be the ending result. The Whole Truth is a movie you can put in your DVD player and forget about everything else. It did it's job - Entertainment. I could easily list off ten or so "top" comedies that fail to live up to The Whole Truth.
It was funny and yet interesting to watch Angela become a nervous wreck after being so strong for some time in her life. At the same time, we then watch her best friend Gary become the strong one; however, it is clear that she was not strong from the beginning due to the flashback of her before success. We are also shown that detective even tells Angela that she could have used her own skills to not look like a nut on the stand. So I'm not sure why one of the reviewers missed these two important moments.
Way to go on Elizabeth for doing a different kind of role! She's becoming one of my top actresses - fast! Eric Roberts was fantastic to see like this and both had me laughing hard with his first visit to her office. I had to back it up three times. All the other actors were great as well.
The writing - this was done with every day talk that made it all the more funny. This had topics or phrases that we all say one time or another that we rarely see on film which made it easier to laugh with. This movie breaks the mold - no longer is Seattle artsy! Thanks to Writer/Director Collen Patrick, Seattle now has a really good movie that should be competing for top movie of the week in the theaters.
This is a movie that should be seen in the theater.
