The Truth About Love

Comedy starring Dougray Scott and Jennifer Love Hewitt. As part of a drunken bet with her sister, a happily married woman (Hewitt) sends an anonymous Valentine’s card to her husband (Scott) to see if he hides it. When he does, what was a prank leads to a series of events and revelations that puts her marriage at risk, and leaves her looking for revenge.Synopsis
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 harbours 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.
