This gentle comedy is an amusingly paranoid look at how relationships can be stretched to the breaking point when pranks spiral out of control. When Alice Holbrook (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives a Valentine card, she assumes it's from her husband, Sam (Jimi Mistry), and sends a card back to him. But what Alice doesn't know is that the card is actually from Sam's best friend, Archie Gray (Dougray Scott), who harbors a secret crush on her. But things get really wild when Sam receives Alice's card and thinks it's from another woman. Deciding to test her husband when he doesn't tell her he's received a card, Alice enters into a dangerous game with him as she pretends to be the other woman. Some wacky scenes ensue, and THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE should find an audience among fans of similar fare, such as YOU'VE GOT MAIL and BRIDGET JONES' DIARY. [More]

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.

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.

John Hay's film has been on the shelf since 2004, and whoever decided to take it from there has some explaining to do.

The truth is, no matter how pretty this picture may be to look at, nothing can conceal its singular lack of humour or heart.

It is a poor movie indeed that makes you reconsider the talent of Richard Curtis.

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.

Borrowed liberally from stock British elements (Dougray Scott’s character is restoring a boat! There’s a chase to stop a lover leaving!), there’s nothing new to enjoy here.

A decent idea and cast are neglected in this ungainly Britcom with less of the com. A British actress might have been a better bet for this one.
