¡Demasiadas mentiras!

I have just returned from the Toronto Film Festival, breathless not only from laughing at the film, but also because I ran - literally ran - from the theatre to the nearest Internet Cafe so that I might register my immense pleasure with this film. Every aspect of this movie blows me away. Take every cheesy romantic comedy you've seen, every lame line you've seen delivered by a plastic Romeo to his inflatable Juliet, and throw them away. Dean Paras has managed to breathe new life into the rotting corpse that WAS American (or Canadian) dramedy. The movie is superb, funny, sad, real, real, real. Go see this with the person you intend to marry, and present the ring afterwards. She may be so greatful that you made her watch it, she'll say yes.

It took me a long time to track down this movie. I phoned every video store, finally one day I walked into another store (in my hometown this time) and there it was! Just when I wasn't looking. The reason I wanted to leave a comment because it was wonderful to see Stefan Brogren in a role other than "Snake" or "Mr. Simpson" from "Degrassi". He was extremely fun to watch. It is always nice to see some well-known actors with actors who are not as well known. cheers to this movie!

Danny (Dean Paras, who also wrote and directed the film) is a struggling Hollywood writer working on a screenplay with his roommate. He's also a young womanizer with a lie to manipulate any romantic encounter. Unexpectedly, he falls hard for Corinne, a beautiful young actress. Should Danny use his arsenal of tricks or would it be better to be honest and upfront in the pursuit of his dream woman? Meanwhile, former girlfriend Renee (Neve Campbell) is out to sabotage any relationship Danny may pursue. Will Danny get back what he's been dishing out for so long?

This film has an attractive young cast that makes the film a pleasure to watch, even when the funny script proves uneven. Campbell and Stefan Brogren, as Danny's roommate, are a hoot. Then, too, the young Hollywood scene for ambitious wannabes is portrayed with some threads of realism. Those who like hip, post-college comedies with a modern take on romance will enjoy this film. Such viewers should try hard to locate it at the video store or library.

Really funny, cute movie. Saw the world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. A very nice piece of work for first-time director/star Dean Paras. Better than "Can't Hardly Wait". Go see it when it's released (if...)

I saw the world premier in Toronto and genuinely enjoyed it. It was everything expected and more.

Director Dean Paras does an excellent job on this low budget feature, using every resource he can. Be sure to watch out for the bum; it's actually his father. Neve Campbell appears as we've never seen her before in this film. Congratulations to the mostly Canadian cast on a great job.

Dean Paras has a promising future.
