Watch The Truth About Love For Free

I love this movie so much

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I really enjoyed this movie. First I caught it on TV and kept watching while wondering what's going on with Jennifer's accent. But then I caught up with the story and finally got to enjoying it. I love Jimi Mistry too (from Sex Guru) so he's another reason I kept watching at first. Great cast and light love comedy. I find British romantic comedies more complex than American, it's more time wondering what will happen at the end. Maybe the end could have been more dramatic, but I found it satisfying. I actually think they could have written Jennifer's character as an American...she seems to have struggled with the accent. Anyway she was lovely as always.

Alice (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a quietly beautiful nurse, is married to Sam, a hotshot lawyer. His best friend, Archie (Dougray Scott) is deeply in love with Alice, too, although he settles for friendship. On the eve of Valentine's Day, however, Archie sends Alice an anonymous valentine and some radish seeds. Alice is intrigued but, she starts thinking. How would Sam react if he received a valentine from an unknown source? Would he tell her about it, as she did with him? On her sister's urging, Alice does send Sam a romantic greeting card. In her presence, she watches as Sam reads the card and promptly stuffs it in his briefcase, with no acknowledgement. Huh. Alice goes further and buys a new cellphone. She promptly calls Sam and leaves a message that she, a mystery lady, is interested in him. Will Sam call back? And, is Alice treading into deep romantic waters? This is an intriguing movie, no doubt about it. The principal actors are very good, with Hewitt giving a very interesting character study as the supposedly sedate Alice. The production values, costumes, and setting are more than acceptable. But, it is the jarring inquiring into fidelity and how far one should go to determine the faithfulness of your partner that is most striking here. There are some very adult themes and scenes in this film and any viewer with serious scruples will not want to take a chance on it. That said, this is ultimately a love story and fans of this genre are always hungry for a new addition to the repertoire. For these folks, try this one as an evening's entertainment and wait for the more typical romcoms that are sure to be churned out every year for a less controversial view.

I just watched this movie and while it's not the best thing I've ever seen it was a cute romantic comedy. Can't say that I saw any of the goofs that have been mentioned -- but then I wasn't looking for them. Or maybe the DVD copy I rented had been edited/fixed. Some of the nice things from my perspective: 1) Nice location shooting - I think it was Bristol. It had a different feel from the usual London setting and was very well photographed for the most part. 2) The leads were just fine - it was good to see Dougray Scott sporting his native (at least I think it was native)Scottish accent(it's an American thing :)and I have to say I do like Jennifer Love Hewitt. It did seem like her accent may have been looped at the beginning (the tone of the soundtrack suggested it)maybe to give her a better chance to nail the dialect, but overall I do think it was her. And while I think she needs a bit more seasoning/maturity as an actress, she has a very expressive face and natural way about her on screen -- and that's got to be a plus. So, if you just want a kick-back, lazy day on the sofa movie this is worth 90 minutes of your time.

I don't see how people cannot like this movie or rip on Jennifer's performance. When she dresses up with the long hair she looks simply amazing and considering she's from Texas her British accent is pretty good. It's kind of funny listening to Jennifer talk dirty. She doesn't come across like that at all in "real life". How anyone could hurt this woman in a movie or in reality is beyond me. Anyway, the story seems to move along pretty well and the sub-plot with the trial of the famous athlete could be right out of today's headlines. You end up hating Sam, cheering for Archie and Alice, and even feeling a little sorry for Katya. I like the movie and may even let me wife watch it. Radish anyone?
