The actors had no really story to work with. Not real comedy,not real romance,nothing. I would scratch my eyes out trying to watch it. It was a torture. who wrote the screenplay had a serious intellectual problem,the director appears having it also. I think that they were so bored doing this movie that they thought that making pauses ,long pauses between every line would add some kind of intensity to the script. It added only more torture.The pauses between every line,every scene are "chinese drop " torture. No emotions received by the viewer.Horrible waste of time.

"If You Only Knew" is about a straight man (Schaech) who pretends to be gay so he can get a deal on a NYC flat and move in with a beautiful woman (Eastwood) who likes to have a gay roomie for security reasons. The flick works the premise to death, lags some in the middle, is obvious and predictable, jerks from one concocted situation to the next, but does manage to deliver a modicum of entertainment. Catch it on broadcast and give it a try. C-

I enjoyed this movie but it had one thing I didn't understand. The lead girl said she was an honesty freak. She was never honest with the guy. When she was confused about his sexuality she never took his word that he wanted her. She'd rather go with a guy who cheated on her, which was dishonest then a guy who lied about being gay? That's a woman for ya. If she was an honesty freak she should have dumped both of them.

It's just a movie, folks. But it was a fun experience and I would recommend it to a few friends that like romantic comedy. The movie never pretended to be something else. It is a woman's movie - but - there is enough for guys to enjoy, too.
