The Good Lie


The title of the Movie: "The Good Lie" comes from Huck Finn who explained the idea as a necessary lie to save a friend from trouble.  It is mentioned when one of the characters in the story is learning to read and understand English.

This movie will catch you off guard. The previews shows it as a heartwarming story about a group of "The Lost Boys of Sudan"  trying to understand their new life in America. In reality there is much in the story about their life in Sudan and the impact that those events had on their understanding of other humans.  The story is more real because (if you stay for the credits) you will discover that the actors also came from this same story. Only the names and situation was changed.

It is a great PG movie filled with faith in God and a great message for all.

It is a rare movie because of the reality of the story.

I highly recommend this.  I give it ***1/2 stars. 2014 Movie 44
