- Quotes
Dr. Isbell: [as Emily sees if her baby is healthy] Emily, I have to ask you a sensitive question. It's in the interest of your baby's health and yours.
Emily Wendell: [smiles] Of course. What is it?
Dr. Isbell: Who's the father?
Emily Wendell: [frowns at her in shock] I can't believe you asked me that! Ted is the father!
Dr. Isbell: Ted had a vasectomy two years ago.
[Emily goes awestruck]
Dr. Isbell: I assumed you knew.
Emily Wendell: No, that can't be true! He would've told me!
Dr. Isbell: I'm sorry, Emily. You have my word; no one else will know.

Anyway, the movie moves along at a frenetic pace with the plot not really being very well developed, but as far as it goes, Emily falls for a young, mysterious drifter (Luke, played by Corey Sevier) who appears out of nowhere and sweeps her off her feet. The interplay between Ted, Emily and Luke makes clear that the movie is at least well named, as one lie follows another until the story is so absolutely confusing that you almost give up. Then comes the last and perhaps unintentionally hilarious scene in the church, as Emily confronts Ted about his lies in front of the congregation and a live television audience. Until then I thought this movie might get a 2 or 3, but the end is really so funny that I have to raise this to a 5.
