This is one hit comedy for sure. You'll have some nice characters in such a hugger-mugger life, the unity of them to solve a problem, and one smart third act as good adventure when they all went to be not evil but only wily ! Although the trick of the small size was too intelligent and unpredictable but the thing which I loved the most was the real meaning of the whole thing..We're all laying. But there are lies that make us lose and others that save us. So now when fait accompli forces us to lie on its liars as the only way to retrieve our stolen rights then we WILL lie without a doubt ! Simply the theory of that movie is : if lying was the determinate so at least we mustn't do it with the ones we love. That's a good meaning in what looks as amusing comedy only.
I Watched it with a friend. We both enjoyed it a lot. I must say that from the beginning we started to laugh. The introduction is similar to the Jame Bond's Movies but with a little twist that made it very funny. I recommend it if you like french comedy. This is a great representation of the friendship and the truth about our specie (I'm talking about men). A great movie with a great cast. If you want to spend a good time this is your movie.
In 1997, the movie "la vérité si je mens" was released and had a huge success, so it was almost inevitable that it was followed by a sequel and this happened 4 years later. But this sequel is a pleasant surprise because it's more successful and better than the first film. Besides, I'm amazed that it's only rated 6.6/10. As far as this sequel is concerned, it's full of good surprises: to start obviously with the actors who are all amazing and they've got punch ( the palm would surely go to José Garcia). The first movie mainly focused on Richard Anconina's life and feelings and tended to neglect the other actors but here these actors have got more calibre and more liberty (in some parts of the movie, they're even the main actors). So the movie is well-regulated. It's necessary to say that the minor actors are wisely chosen: the thrilled Enrico Macias, the sly Daniel Prévost.... Moreover, there aren't any injuries times so you don't get bored at all. Dialogues are rippling and hit the bull's eye, several gags are irresistible although a bit predictable and let's add a lively rhythm. At the end, it's a dynamic and vibrating movie. It's worth watching!
If I lie that's the truth!?I am not sure if that's the reality but I found it sincere. If you have seen the film you can understand what I mean. "La vérité si je mens" is a comedy film pointing that people sometimes need to play games even if they are not good at playing or "acting".
