Elisabeth Rohm stars in "The Whole Truth" from 2009, also starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Eric Roberts, and Tin Tin, a dog who is the best actor in the film.
The premise is a funny one: an acting coach, Angela Masters, prepares defendants for court, making them look and sound amazing so that they are found not guilty. One of her clients is a Russian mobster, played by Eric Roberts.
The only problem with this movie is its horrific direction. It is so over the top that it is embarrassing. Elisabeth Rohm, a good actress, a beautiful woman, screams and shouts her way through her role. Eric Roberts hams it up but good. If the movie had been toned down a little, it would have been so much better.
Only Sean Patrick Flannery and Tin Tin the dog emerge with their dignity intact. Pisay Pao, who plays Angela's maid, is good, but I think I missed something. From what I can gather, she pretends to be her own, elderly aunt, and when Angela is out of the house, she is her young self, seeing clients in an office. It took me the whole movie to figure out her profession. I think it was financial planning.
Not recommended unless your idea of comedy is overdone performances.
