Title: the truth is a charade
Review: Do yourself a favor and save your money. This is a poor remake of "Charade," which was charming movie with Cary Grant and Audry Hepburn, with a few notable supporting players, including Walter Matthau. Re-cast the original, coarsen the language, add some more gratuitous violence, eliminate the chemistry, and you have The Truth About Charlie. No matter how earnest the acting, it is once again proof that Hollywood can do nothing but remake and ruin (think: Sabrina). Interesting as a last-minute or date diversion, but stay home and rent the original if you want warmth, charm, and a fine good guy/bad guy/ guessing game.
