Storyline
It's a world where everyone tells the truth - and just about anything they're thinking. Mark Bellison is a screenwriter, about to be fired. He's short and chunky with a flat nose - a genetic pool that means he won't get to first base with Anna, the woman he loves. At a bank, on the spur of the moment he blurts out a fib, with eye-popping results. Then, when his mother's on her deathbed, frightened of the eternal void awaiting her, Mark invents fiction. The hospital staff overhear his description of Heaven, believe every word, and tell others. Soon Mark is a prophet, his first inventive screenplay makes him rich, and he's basically a good guy. But will that be enough for Anna? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia
The film was released theatrically in France with its original title, but by the time it was released on DVD, this was changed to "Mytho-Man!", which is a play on words, the French word "mythomane" meaning "pathological liar". See more »Goofs
Continuity: During Anna's first date with Mark, the waiter brings her a margarita and mentions he had a sip from it. The glass is about half full. In the next shot with the margarita it is almost completely full. See more »Soundtracks
