If you think about it. . .

I know the plot to The Truth About Love sounds really weird, but if you stop to think about it, it's not as strange as it sounds. Jennifer Love Hewitt is married to Jimi Mistry, and his best friend is Dougray Scott. There's a bit of a Valentine's prank when Jennifer sends an anonymous, sexy Valentine's card to her husband to find out whether or not he'll hide it. If he hides it from his wife, it suggests he's either having an affair or is open to the idea. Jimi does hide it, and Jennifer's faith in him is shaken.

In the meantime, Dougray sends Jennifer a note of his own, alluding to longtime feelings he's kept inside for years. As Jennifer decides to pursue her husband's potential infidelity by pretending she's "the other woman", will Dougray help or hinder her experiment? After all, he knows details of Jimi's personal life that a wife shouldn't. . .

I thought the premise was interesting, and definitely one that every woman has thought about from time to time. However, don't expect a philosophical drama; it's very light and funny. As usual, you get to see Jennifer prance around in adorable outfits, and she also puts on an English accent in this one. Even if she puts on a corset and stumbles her way through a naughty phone call, she's still extremely sweet, which is why she's easy to root for.
