Review
There is really nothing like a great comedy to make you laugh, because laughter is the best medicine for all that ails us. There are many funny parts to this movie and with two amazing comedic actors like Wendi McLendon-Covey and Dan Bakkedahl, whose characters bring just that…laughter. The white lie used in this movie may bother some folks, but I have experienced someone who used that same white lie. It’s sad to know someone would use the “C” word as a white lie. At the moment that white lie is told, you, for a split second, understand why it was used. Wanting to hold on to a loved one or friend can cause some of us to use a white lie to get the attention we think we need to go through life. Other than being a comedy, this movie will hopefully teach some of us that any lie, white or not, should never be used. The four gals in this movie did a great acting job bringing this story to the big screen. I really liked Brandon Mychal Smith’s character and how he brought that character to life helping the “Sick Girl” and her family and friends to see the good and bad of that white lie. It’s opening on a Friday night, so that is a great reason to go to the movies for a great laugh. Don’t miss this movie. Judy Shields, The Hollywood Times
