Same Movie ?


I just read the movie plot description and I don't recognize it.

Is this the same movie where the main character gets into alot of trouble, he does not want the kid to know he is lying, so he keeps saying to him "Why would I lie?", The kid ends up helping him out of his major jam (unbeknownst to him) and at the main character he figures out the kids must have done it and confronts him with the facts and the kid's response is "Why would I lie?"

That would be it! Great movie! Everwood fans would love seeing Treat as Cletus.

I absolutely love this movie. Can anyone tell me where I can buy it? I just checked over at Amazon.com and it says no results found.

The plot is not quite what you describe. The main character, played brilliantly by Treat Williams, likes to "Fabricate" (which is what he prefers calling it) because he believes that it makes life more interesting. When he gets a job as a social worker, he gets a case where he is suppose to pick up a boy named Jorge from his foster mother (played by Marlon Brando's sister, Joslyn)and deliver him to his new adoptive parents. But when he read the file, he found that Jorge's mother named him Jorge with a "J", so that he would be easier to find since the court took him off of her (I forget what she was in prison for) So, he decides to keep the boy until he can locate his real mother instead of turning him over to stangers.

I found this movie to be extremely funny and interesting, it is one of my all time favorites and I am so glad that I taped it when HBO aired it, because I've never seen it available to buy, although I would love to have it on DVD with closed captions.

Aloha from Hawaii -

I would love to obtain a copy of Why Would I Lie - I have been living here in Hawaii since 1982, however I grew up in Spokane and was present during various aspects of the filming of Why Would I Lie. I actually attended the final cast party which was held at the Spokane Sheraton at the completion of the movie. Do you know where I can obtain a dvd or vhs copy of the movie?

Saw this movie years ago it was really sweet.I often tell my kids why would I lie about a thing like that as it was in the movie. Could you tell me if also it had a phrase in it "I love you more cuz I'm bigger" My ex always told the kids that. We lost him April2,2006.

I've been trying to find the B. J. Thomas song that's played at the end of the movie. I have the title written down someplace, but the song isn't mentioned on any website about B. J. Thomas.
