2B Perfectly Honest seems to deserve better reviews than have been posted around the Internet. It's presented as a bedtime story being told to a ten year old boy by his dad. Therefore, our expectations might logically lead us to assume that we're not in for an entirely objective recounting of events but instead the bedtime story version.

The story begins as a fairly credible depiction of a man trying to redirect his energies after his dot com business fails. As things progress, we realize that Frank (Adam Trese) is clearly not in Kansas anymore. Things have become increasingly surrealistic. His desire to somehow reclaim his elusive success becomes more pressing and compromises his ethics.

People that Frank knows are reappearing as new and darker characters. We start to realize that Frank is not living in the reality that we formerly experienced with him. He's showing less resistance to the unreasonable proposals of these new shady business partners.

This is a story that almost begs us to watch it twice in an effort to define the point at which Frank, and we along with him, lost our grip on reality. To be perfectly honest, our impressions, no matter how vivid, are, after all, not always entirely objective. Sometimes it is the subjective realities of our subconscious that have the most profound impact upon us.

This is a watchable movie. I suppose a comedy.
I must admit that the main reason I bought it was to see Hayley Mills again. It was worth the price just for that.
With a plot? that mixes the internet and old crime, Frank and Josh find themselves fronting for gangsters. Or do they?
Andrew McCarthy fans will want it.
Robert Vaughn and Hayley Mills play Frank's Dad and Mom.
