Review of Nothing But the Truth

The plot is more or less covered in the various reviews, so there is nothing to add to that. And I won't say the plot is creaky, but it is, the way it is developed. One of the conditions of the bet was that he wasn't supposed to change his routine, which he did, thoroughly, and since he didn't challenge the change forced onto him, he in fact had lost the bet within few minutes. Then, no one was supposed to hint the bet, but there is, though not specifically shown, Donnelly must have, to Linda. Of course the "Answer to All question and not refuse to answer" is something no person, even of IQ 30, would agree to. They didn't ask, but there could have been awkward questions, especially in public. A lot of scenes and embarrassing situations were forced on, with easy escape routes, even without lying, for example in the end when Bishop asks what you did with the money, the answer should have been "I have put it in an envelope and given to TT, who had put it in a safe" - unadulterated truth. Many of the similar things makes it a bit forced comedy, not really what one could call sitcom or screwball.
