Review of The Truth About Lies

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!
