March 25, 2007I know this film got bad reviews but I thought it was a fun mind bender. I really really did not figure the twists out before the end.

October 20, 2009Most remakes don't seem to bother me, so it might've been my mood, but, though the acting and casting were good, I couldn't stop thinking of "Charade".

March 4, 2009A huge disappointment from the very beginning, The Truth About Charlie is a half-baked remake of the classic Gary Grant/Audrey Hepburn film Charade. Its not too bad a film but take my advice and watch 'charade' instead, its so much better.

Charade was magic; Charlie isn't, but it's a pleasant Paris-flavored treat, beret or no. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Demme can't sustain the fizz, but seeing a real filmmaker try and fall short is still more fun than watching a hack hit the mark. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Where a melting little meringue is wanted, Demme delivers a big, doughy sticky-bun of a movie, stuffed with little currants of other films. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
If it is true that there will never be another Audrey Hepburn, and it is, I submit it is also true that there will never be another Thandie Newton. full review
