The Whole Truth made YES WEEKLY's DVD release pick of the week list! Others mentioned in the list are Skyfall, The Master, Bully, and The Birders. GREAT company!

Here's what YES WEEKLY says about The Whole Truth:

THE WHOLE TRUTH (Green Apple Entertainment): Writer/executive producer/director Colleen Patrick’s feature debut is a broad, cartoonish courtroom farce with Elisabeth Rohm as a neurotic acting coach who specializes in tutoring accused criminals so that they win acquittals – only to encounter Eric Roberts, very funny as a hilariously coiffed Russian mobster who compels her to reassess her “career.” An unrecognizable Sean Patrick Flanery is charming as a has-been TV star and Rick Overton is a hoot as Roberts’ equally dim-witted sidekick. A little on the shrill side but not without its pleasures, particularly the cast. (For an exclusive interview with Eric Roberts, see Page 41).

I am crazy with glee that so many reviewers/critics are understanding our film! Chuck Jones is one of my inspirations!

The Whole Truth makes MAX's BEST list!

My comedy feature THE WHOLE TRUTH is listed on MAX's *best DVD and Blu-Ray picks* list for February!!

MAX's list has a circulation of more than 4 million media outlets and readers world wide, and only reviews films that they believe are quality projects!

Here's what the reviewer said:

"A fast-paced satirical comedy about a beautiful acting coach (Elizabeth Rohm) who coaches a handsome but ruthless mobster (Eric Roberts) on how to work the court system to win a jury acquittal. She gets help (sort-of) from an also handsome but washed up television celebrity (Sean Patrick Flannery) who happens to be in love with her. Which fellow does she wind up with and does Roberts get off the court hook? Or maybe she can do better than either, and get a dog instead. Check it out. It’s something different… it’s really funny. On DVD from Green Apple Entertainment."


As if this were not enough (I'm breathing in a brown paper bag), our little screwball comedy is on MAX's BEST list alongside other "bests" released in February: Downton Abbey Season III and The Dark Knight Rises.

It's our first review!

It's available for reservation on Netflix DVD, for purchase at Barnes and Noble; other outlets will be joining shortly (amazon.com and more)... it's officially released February 5.

Wow!

love, cp
