When Alice (Hewitt) receives a Valentine's Day card from her husband Sam (Mistry)'s best friend, Archie (Scott) -- who harbors a lingering crush on his lifelong pal's beautiful wife -- she mistakenly assumes it to be from her husband, and playfully responds with an anonymous card of her own. Suspicions rise however, when Sam hides the anonymous card from his wife and she begins to suspect that he may have a secret mistress. Could a simple prank have the power to unravel years of marital bliss and shake the foundation of Alice and Sam's loving relationship, or will Sam's lovelorn pal Archie be able to help his old friend save his marriage despite his growing feelings for Alice? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Critic Reviews
-
Anna Smith, Time Out
while Dougray Scott is a viable romantic alternative, he's absent from too much of the film, leaving Alice to discover 'The Truth About Love' long after we all stopped caring.
-
Cosmo Landesman, Sunday Times (UK)
The film is silly when it should be sexy, witless when trying to be funny. Everyone involved is probably deeply embarrassed to be associated with it.
-
David Gritten, Daily Telegraph
An awkward, last-minute romantic dash to Bristol's Temple Meads station in the style of Richard Curtis only serves to underline the air of creative bankruptcy.
-
Anthony Quinn, Independent
John Hay's film has been on the shelf since 2004, and whoever decided to take it from there has some explaining to do.
-
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
The Worst Film of 2007 awards race has now been called off.
