Trailer for The Truth About Lies, starring Fran Kranz, Odette Annable and Colleen Camp.
The Truth About Lies explores what ALWAYS happens when people lie. Didn’t your parents tell you this? It just grows and grows and grows, and Allocco deftly weaves them all together in an intricate, rollicking comedy of wordplay, extreme situations and even more extreme solutions.
Here’s how it breaks down: Gilby Smalls (Kranz) has just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and his girlfriend (Ellis) gave him the boot. He’s forced to move in with May, his booze-swindling man-obsessed mother (Camp). Life looks bleak until best friend Kevin (Fisher) drags him to a family get-together, where he meets Rachel (Annable), 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; each one more outrageous than the next. Finally, Gilby is forced to face the uncomfortable truth about himself before he can find a way out of his very own lies.
