People do stupid things

Only real reason I'm writing this is to counter everyone else's absurdly angry reviews. This was a decent story, well acted, and no I didn't know where it was going. I went along with the ride. People are mad at the plot because the parents did stupid things... well, people do stupid things. Isn't that the point? Also, if a movie inspired a reaction from you... isn't that also the point?

Cringeworthy for parents of teenagers

I've got three teenagers, and by experience, you don't need a movie to remind you that they can be obnoxiously rebellious and unpredictable. "The Lie" takes that to an extreme where the parents make very stupid decisions to cover up their daughter's misdeeds.

The majority of the movie is protecting that lie to harrowing results. The finale is a face-palm moment where you think, as a potential parent, that "I would've done that so different!" Or maybe not?

Not a believable film

This is one of those movies that makes you repeatedly think 'What the hell?' Like the girl running away from the father. She gets away then starts waking down the residential street one block away. Who the hell goes one block away and then out into the open?? And who walks down the middle of the street? I can honestly say that I have never walked down the middle of any street. Then when she sees the car behind her coming fast she starts running while staying in the street. Wtf?? That's this movie in a nutshell. Ridiculous scenarios that are just not believable.

I don't get the negative reviews about this one

This movie definitely deserved a much higher rating than all those godawful quick-and-cheap movies being churned out by the dozens. I thought the story was intriguing and kept me engaged throughout, the twist at the end was also well done, the photography was high quality. People who hated this film should stick to their freaking reality tv shows and shut up.

Could win the Oscar for implausibility

A load of rubbish. From the beginning it's one unrealistic thing after another. The parents act in unbelievably stupid ways. The girl acts in unbelievably stupid ways. That's it.
