Romantic comedies are easy to watch, unless they are in the dregs of mediocrity, but somewhat difficult to do. For either they can get too mushy or too sexually explicit as is the current norm. In that respect, The Truth About Love has sexually inclined content and is very representative of the present day romantic comedy.
‘The Truth About Love’ opens with Archie’s (Dougray Scott) voiceover confessing his unreciprocated love for Alice (Hewitt),who is married to his friend and partner Sam (Jimi Mistry, a hotshot lawyer. Sam is a selfish cad and is cheating on Alice. Alice receives an anonymous love letter from Archie (which he had done one drunken night). Alice’s promiscuous sister Felicity (Kate Miles) suggests that Sam is not entirely faithful. Alice resolves to prove her wrong by sending Sam an anonymous love letter, betting that Sam will tell her about it. Sam instead hides the letter and continues to contact his mysterious admirer (his own wife), he goes through the modern day gambit of sms, phone sex, etc. and finally a late night rendezvous in Archie’s empty apartment in the city. Sam thinks nothing on cheating his wife so shy should he not cheat on his Russian mistress (Branka Katic) who is the jealous type and a painter. As all romantic comedies go the resolution finds Sam stranded mid-wicket. The mistress has dumped him and the wife has found love in his bet friend Archie’s arms.
