Truth Be Told is a fun family movie premiering Saturday on FOX. Candace Cameron Bure and David James Elliot make up our adorable couple, except, they aren't a couple. The premise of the movie is a fairly simple one: a guy and girl need to lie in the hopes of realizing great business opportunities. Unfortunately, the people they're lying to have a zero tolerance policy towards such behavior and this is where the drama lies. (Sorry, couldn't avoid the pun!)

From the old college friends pretending to be husband and wife, to the kids stuck in the middle of the lies, all of the characters are likeable and make for an entertaining story. Perhaps the most enjoyable was the eccentric radio station cowboy played by Ronny Cox. His fun but hardworking character added a great dynamic to the plot and enabled some wonderful family moments. It should go without saying that Cox's acting was superb. We are constantly reminded how lies often compound themselves and become harder to unravel. Important lessons about family, lying, and doing what's right instead of what's easy can be found in this film from start to finish.

But the film was not without disappointment in the realm of fatherhood portrayal. As we've mentioned before, there were more than 20 major motion pictures in the 1990's that shared one common theme: if dad is the primary caregiver, mom must be dead. Sadly, Truth Be Told utilized this innaccurate and negative stereotype of single fatherhood. Luckily, this was the only negative side of Elliot's character. He was an otherwise loving and capable father who cared about kids and was working to help his community.

Spend a couple hours with your family this Saturday watching this wonderful story. I was fortunate enough to have candy and popcorn provided by the nice folks at Dad Central Consulting, but you'll no doubt have your own favorite movie-watching snacks handy.
