A first-rate cast that includes Steve Coogan, Selma Blair, and Sam Elliott stars in LIES AND ALIBIES, a drama that centers on Ray, a man who runs an alibi service for those looking to conduct discreet affairs. When Ray and his business run into trouble, he turns to Lola, his clever, sharp-tongued, right-hand woman. Stylish, witty, and absorbing, LIES AND ALIBIES recalls the Thin Man movies of the late 1930s, yet is decidedly fresh and contemporary. [More]

This straight-to-video comedy is better than most theatrical comedies I've seen lately.

Coogan é um ator sempre divertido e aqui trabalha com um roteiro que, apesar de implausível, é dotado de suficiente auto-ironia para divertir sem ser levado a sério.

Lies & Alibis isn't as jaunty as its title and dilutes a serviceable premise for a mild diversion that just lapses into confusion.

Delves into a standard caper film full of cons and double-crosses. And as those types of films go, it's really not too bad.

A warmed-over caper movie that plays like it's based on a bad Xerox of an Elmore Leonard novel.
