Overall, it was dull. The movie starts with the main character losing everything and hitting rock bottom, before he starts lying, unintentionally, a strategy that leads to him haing a few weeks of a fantasy life and that's it. The movie never goes deeper than the surface, like with the case of the father, that was left like that, or the best friend. The romance was also lousy and difficult to like, there were only few moments worth laughing and the ending was just wide open.

Gilby Smalls is having a meltdown. He's just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and his girlfriend gave him the boot. And it's only Wednesday. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-something, he is forced to move in with May, his booze-swindling man-obsessed mother. This is the last straw. Gilby's life is bleak until best friend Kevin drags him to a family get-together, where he meets Rachel, Kevin's very beautiful but very married sister. Rachel is the very thing Gilby needs to get his life back on track. Desperate to impress her, Gilby starts to weave a web of lies; one bigger than the next. Now in a sticky mess, Gilby is forced to face the uncomfortable truth about himself before he can find a way out of his very own Lies. The Truth About Lies explores the potent role lying plays in relationships and life with some surprising results!

Look, Odette Annable can act!
There are a few interesting things about this movie:
- Odette Annable never looked better
- It actually looked like she can act
- There are interesting quotes about lies and lying throughout the movie
- The view of people and how they lie to each other and themselves, often for no particular reason or purpose, then get into trouble for it
Otherwise, it's not very fun or funny, though it has its moments.
Although the ending is not very good, it's not bad and the movie doesn't fall apart near the end, like lots of modern comedies do.
Bottom line, it's an unusual and passable comedy, worth a watch.

Generally bad
Disjointed and without one laugh. Characters are shallow and their actions are unbelievable. It's a shame because most of the actors are good. They're just not given anything to work with. Pass.
