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!

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.

The Truth About Lies takes lying to a whole new level. Phil Allocco's writing is phenomenally funny. He isn't afraid to take risks with the hipster crowd. Allocco uses their plant-eating lifestyle and shows an extreme that puts the characters in awkward situations. I was laughing so hard when Gilby (Fran Kranz) lied about his food and Rachel (Odette Annable) gave him hers to finish as well. The reactions of the two hippy friends was so over-the-top that it made their conversations with Gilby (Fran Kranz) and Rachel (Odette Annable) amusingly awkward. I'd recommend this movie to Rom-com lovers!

The Truth about lies is an exceptional film! Depicting how lies and "faking it till you make it" can trap someone in a web of dishonestly, director Phil Allocco goes above and beyond in this unconventional love story. While the film was full of quirky and embarrassing moments, it was undeniably funny. Allocco was able to honestly and comically portray a taboo relationship between a man and his boss's wife, and how it may realistically end!! I was presently surprised by the quality of actors and overall plot development. Lies and love have never been so enjoyable. Highly recommended!
