Subject: I really liked it - it was an upbeat, uplifting, light-hearted movie! (inside for more...)
In reply to: Lee 's message, "Well, what did you think of "Truth Be Told"? It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I throughly enjoyed it. My favorite line? "The truth is everything." I wonder where we've heard that line before? LOL" on 22:44:25 04/16/11 Sat

First, a few critiques...
I thought there were a few things that needed polishing. At some points I thought Candace was a bit *too* perky. And there were some things that could have been developed just a tiny bit more. Maybe Mark looking at a picture of his wife early on (while getting ready for the benefit) with that "missing you" look on his face... just a few seconds of background here and there.

I thought all the "eco-friendly" comments were a bit over-the-top, combined with the "eco-friendly" P&G commercials. Bishop says they have 350 days of sunshine so they use solar, but then he points to a dozen rain barrels lined up and talks about all the things they do with all the rain they get... in 15 days of non-sunshine... Hmmm...

But when they weren't lecturing us on environmental talking points, and got into the inter-personal interactions, it was quite good.

Like Lee said, it wasn't the BEST movie ever, but it was well-worth watching. I thought it was clever how they had so many relationship things going on at once - Bish and his wife, Jake and his wife, Mark & Annie, Kenny and the daughter, and poor Zoe trying to deal with her emotions. DJE was really good, and I enjoyed seeing some of the same facial expressions I'm so familiar with! He was wonderful with Zoe when they talked by the horse's stall (as he always is with kids), and he was deliciously sexy in most scenes. That kiss was unbelievable! Wow! *sigh* THUD!

Also, I thought it was priceless that he would go from "Suck it up, Marine" to "get me out of here!!!" LOL

OH, and I spent the entire movie trying to figure out who the actress was who played the daughter-in-law... it was the same actress who played the girl in "Angels 30" who flew her father's plane that was struck by the Tomcat that knocked down the ski tram. 20 min after the movie was over, *bing!* Lightbulb! LOL

Instead of interpreting it as the "green" fanatics shoving their message down our throats yet again, I chose to interpret it differently. I decided it was either a poor person trying to say that only the rich can afford to do all this eco-friendly stuff, or it was a rich person trying to say that "hey, we're not as bad as everyone thinks we are--see how we're trying to save the earth?" Either way is much more palatable for me. lol
