The Truth About Lies is an American romantic comedy film directed, produced and written by Phil Allocco and stars Fran Kranz, Odette Annable, Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Chris Diamantopoulos.
Plot
Gilby Smalls (Fran Kranz) is an aimless guy who is having a meltdown. He's just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and he's forced to move in with his booze-swindling, man-obsessed mother. Life is bleak and as he's desperate to turn things around when he meets his friend's beautiful sister, who appears to be everything he ever wanted. Desperate to impress her, Gilby weaves a web of lies, each one bigger than the last, until he finds himself in too deep when the truth proves to be too much to admit.
