jlsh-99373 Phil Allocco knocks it out of the park with a film that emphasizes a romantic and comedic tale of lies and relationships. The film shows the true dynamics of relationships as the main character weaves a complex web of lies to get a girl out of his league to fall for him. The acting styles of Fran Kranz and Mary Elizabeth Ellis along with Odette Annable contribute to the hilarity of this film as we witness the main character's, Gilby, misfortune come to fruition. The movie is hilarious, quirky, and meaningful. It is a good reminder that in life and love, honesty is most important. The cast chemistry and setting in New York City add to the romanticism of this film and the story behind it. If you liked When Harry Met Sally, 500 Days of Summer, or Bridget Jones Diary this is the movie for you. I would very much recommend this for a cozy night in with your significant other!

vsteiner-19036 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!

khanditalopes Phil Allocco's The Truth About Lies is a rom-com that follows the musings of Gilby (Franz Kranz) a man without a plan. This film is well written and is jam packed with witty banter and situational humor, portrayed by an authentic charismatic cast. The characters are all relatable which is unusual for a rom-com. Allocco does a great job at merging all the markers to make a great film. I really appreciate how director Phil Allocco not only brought to life an original storyline but he gives his audience an unpredictable ending. This film has something for everyone to relate to whether it be the crazy family drama, lackluster love life or the journey towards self discovery.

begpromotions Rom-coms tend to cater more towards an older audience and for this reason I tend to shy away from them. Surprisingly, that wasn't the case for this movie. This film completely captured my attention and I was able to connect to it on a personal level. It was nice seeing someone else going through the same struggles that I am going through, and then little by little overcoming them in a humorous way. Odette Annable had a standout role. She was able to carry on the plot, which consisted of getting Gilby's life together, while also delivering her hilarious scenes and many punchlines without being awkward or cringy. Phil Allocco was able to portray the many hardships and heartbreaks in a very comical but meaningful way. He also provided a dynamic story-line without getting off-track and losing the audience, which is also another big deal in my eyes. A rom-com that actually had a meaning, therefore I will be recommending.
