I didn’t really know much about this film before watching it but as it was cheap and looked like a good chick flick then I decided to give it a go when hubby went out.
The film opens with a drunken Archie sending a valentines on the pack of a packet of radish seeds to his best friend wife. He asks if he could Radish her! Alice is the receiver of the valentine but she believes that it is from her husband Sam. As Alice soon discovers that it is not from him she is very intrigued about who sent it. She talks to her sister Flick and the conversation moves onto ether husband Sam would reveal if he got an anonymous valentine. Alice says she will prove that Sam would tell her by sending him one.
Sam receives his valentine but he does not tell wife Alice and so when Alice tells sister Flick about it they decide to test his honesty by setting him up for a meeting with ‘anonymous’. Unfortunately for Alice Sam falls for the bate and he goes to meet ‘anonymous’. Flick and Alice are getting worried now but Alice decides that Sam must know it is her and is just going along with the plan. Will Alice get the end results from Sam she is hoping for or will this simple test uncover a completely different side to Sam. What will Archie say if he is discovered to be the original sender of the radish valentine?
Well the plot for this film is quite simple to begin with but it soon turns up other people and things which are going on in the characters lives. Did find it was very easy to follow and after the first half I did find the ending was very predictable but for me this was OK as I was just after some light viewing.
The character were good and I loved the role of Alice which Jennifer Love Hewitt took, she would play a shy and quiet good wife the one minute and the next she would be dressed to kill playing he part of ‘anonymous’. She seemed to be able to slip from role to role with ease and I loved the chemistry which she bought to the film. She worked well with Archie who was played by Dougray Scott. I found he was the most likable person in the film as he was the only one who was straight talking and really meant what he said. I liked how we saw the close friendship between him and Alice and the character had a good chemistry on screen which helped to make this work.
Jimi Mistry took the role of husband Sam and I have to say I did not warm to him at all but this is what the film was going for so I suppose he did a good job of the role. I think he was too smarmy and over confident but again he acted his part well. The addition of Simon Webb who played the role of a footballer going through a court case which Sam was representing was good and I have to admit that despite him being a singer he did a good job, he was at times wooden but overall he was a nice addition to the cast and a good bit of eye candy!
The film was set in Bristol in the present day so not much attention was needed to costumes and sets and I think that they were all good and at times we got some lovely shots over the docks which did for me make the film better viewing. The music in the film was very varied. It started with a good jazz number and then it moved on to more modern tracks and at times it would go back to good old fashioned love songs. I liked the diversity of the songs and thought that they all fitted in very well with the film.
This film does have a comedy side and I liked how it was subtly done. It was not overpowering at all and did not take away from the main theme of the film. I liked how one minute there would be a serious conversation going on and the next I would be chucking as one of the characters would say something or do something funny. This made the film move away from the seriousness of the plot and for me really did improve it.
The DVD which I have does not have any bonus features but for me this was no loss as I am not a fan of them anyway. The running time of it is 1 hour and 31 minutes which I felt to be a good length and I was not loosing interest at any point. The certificate is a 15 and I do have to agree with this as there are a lot of sexual references and scenes in the film and also a lot of string language. I managed to pick this up for just £2 from Tesco but it is also available on Amazon but not at this great price and comes in at just under £5.
Overall I am going to recommend this film as it has a good story, great actors and the humour makes it less serious. Just be warned that the ending is very predictable.

I myself did not watch these as the movie had already turned my stomach sour.

Not me, I give you the truth as always.

Advantages: Concentrates fully on Imhotep, so you learn a lot about him! Disadvantages: If you have no interest in Egypt and its history it might be a bit boring!
This is amazing.
If you love Egypt and its history, this is definitely a DVD for you. If you love the Hollywood movies, then you should see this, just to see the truthabout Imhotep!
There are 8 dvds in the series, and this is the first one, and in my opinion the BEST!
The running time is 50 minutes, and it is exempt from classification, due to being a documentary!
There are no special features on this DVD, as it was originally a series shown on the Discovery Channel, and they have just stuck it on DVD and sold it as it was, although you can still choose which scene to start at.
Out of all of the legends from Egypts history, Imhotep is currently the most popular with Hollywood (The Mummy, was based on Imohtep!)
The running theme through this documentary is the search for Imhoteps tomb. Many times people have ...

DVD Description
This gentle comedy is an amusingly paranoid look at how relationships can be stretched to the breaking point when pranks spiral out of control. When Alice Holbrook (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives a Valentine card, she assumes it's from her husband, Sam (Jimi Mistry), and sends a card back to him. But what Alice doesn't know is that the card is actually from Sam's best friend, Archie Gray (Dougray Scott), who harbours a secret crush on her. But things get really wild when Sam receives Alice's card and thinks it's from another woman. Deciding to test her husband when he doesn't tell her he's received a card, Alice enters into a dangerous game with him as she pretends to be the other woman. Some wacky scenes ensue, and THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE should find an audience among fans of similar fare, such as YOU'VE GOT MAIL and BRIDGET JONES' DIARY.
