watch truth about love ( be this a double entendre about the star . ) be like plug in white noise or manufactured water sound to help you sleep you put it in the dvd slot because there be nothing else leave on the store shelf and you be in need of distraction after a hectic day . and it work for that for that purpose represent be a british romantic comedy it be a bit more . the story be a rather simple one about a wife alice ( jennifer love hewitt ) marry to an increasingly distant husband sam ( jimi mistry ) who have put their love life on hold due to the burden of his busy law practice . his partner archie ( dougray scott ) be fond of both sam and alice and but have a longtime attraction to alice that go beyond friendship . alice pal with her sister felicity ( kate mile ) and a free love advocate and who encourage alice to have affair . on valentine day and after a drinking binge with her sister and alice mail a card to sam sign anonymous a a test to see if sam responds and test his fidelity . at the same time archie mail a radish seed packet to alice on which he have inscribe a suggestive love not . both have ex post facto regret . sam in fact be spend time with a lover katya ( branka katic ) and be indeed cheat on alice . alice arranges assignation with sam via email and phone call and plan to meet sam in disguise as anonymous to test his fidelity . the entire cast of character get catch up in the silly charade and the end prof that real love must be base on truth and how that result in the various pairing be the surprise ( of sort ) of the fluffy script . british comedy work because of the quality of writing and the tight quality of act . perhaps have director john hay elect to cast a british actress a alice instead of paste a phony accent on jennifer love hewitt the result may have be improve . but in the end this story by peter bloore bounce between mildly humorous and pathetic in it message . one terrible distraction be a musical score that be consistently so loud that it cover all the dialogue and be intrusive . there be some nice scene of london and a few moment of passable humor and but in the end this little film be truly best utilized a background music or white noise . grady harp .
