Plot Summary

A youthful indiscretion threatens to derail the relationship between an otherwise predictable young woman and her nice-guy fiancé in director Bob Goldthwait's revealing look at the high price of honesty in committed relationships. To the unassuming eye, Amy is a normal young woman with a bright future and a fabulous fiancé, but when Amy's probing husband-to-be suggests that the both parties come clean about their pasts before exchanging rings, the revelation that follows may be more than he's able to handle. Encouraged by her co-worker and mother to speak her peace and put the sexual secret of her past to bed once and for all, Amy's admission to having once participated in an uncharacteristically impulsive sexual encounter throws her wedding plans into chaos and her entire future into question.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: The uncomfortable message sent by Bobcat Goldthwait's lean, subversive comedy Sleeping Dogs Lie is how easy it is to gross out people who think they're so swinging and cool. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: A scrappily funny and observant takeoff on the secrets that complete even the ''normal'' among us. – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, Sep 7, 2011

Fresh: Possesses a quick wit and an endearing tenderness toward Amy as honesty wrecks her life. It's sweet, doggone it. – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: [Director] Goldthwait explores his themes more thoughtfully than you'd expect, but ultimately, we know just how things will end. And what's subversive about that? – Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News, Jun 24, 2010

Customer Reviews

It is not a comedy. Original and thought provoking.

I am not really sure it fits into any genre. It is certainly not a comedy. It is not a fun movie, but anyone interested in making films or films as an art form, should see it. A disturbing investigation into the nuanced consequences of honesty.

Loved it!

Good acting. Really good story that we all can relate to as doing pretty stupid stuff we regret doing and how do we move on from there. She went a bit far, but if you can get passed that there is a great tear jerking story to be told. Must see!
