Liar liar

WATCH: Queerty readers reveal the biggest lies they’ve told at ‘The Good Liar’ advance screening

Ahead of its November 15 theatrical release, Queerty hosted a crowd of queer creators and readers for an advance screening of The Good Liar at LA Live in Downtown Los Angeles.

And at the expense of spoilers (we would never!), this film has more twists and turns than Britney Spears and Drew Barrymore’s careers combined.

Acting gods Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen star in the new thriller, from Oscar-winner Bill CondonThe Good Liar follows a con-Juan named Roy (McKellen) who romances a wealthy older woman named Betty (Mirren) with hopes of stealing her money. Things take a complicated turn when Betty’s hunky grandson (Russell Tovey) begins to suspect Roy’s ulterior motives, and Roy begins to develop real feelings for Betty.

Just before the film, we queried the crowd on the worst lies they’ve told in romance.

See what YouTuber Michael Henry, These Thems creator & star Gretchen Wylder, comedian Zach Noe Towers and others had to say:

The Good Liar is currently playing in theaters everywhere.
