Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Why Would I Lie? made me very angry while I was watching it, because it is both a glorification of the arrogant stupidity of its central character, and an insult to the intelligence of its audience. Not a bad double play. Rated: 1/4 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
