Movie reviews for Nothing but the truth

This is a deeply disturbing drama, that is based on true events although a great deal of liberty was taken with the truth, as often happens when movies are made based on such events.

Movie reviews for Yes Man

This is another funny Jim Carrey movie(can’t say I have ever seen one that wasn’t intrinsically hilarious in some way).
