After discovering a 13-year-old acting prodigy (SAXON SHARBINO), he is poised to close the deal of a lifetime which would catapult his tween client and, at long last, himself, into the big time. With the support of his gorgeous new neighbor (AMANDA PEET), he must wrangle the actress\u2019 volatile, overprotective father (PAUL SPARKS), dodge a scheming producer (FELICITY HUFFMAN), and outwit his uber-slick nemesis (SAM ROCKWELL). As he arrives on the brink of the Hollywood dream that\u2019s eluded him for a lifetime, he begins to sense that his innocent young starlet may not be quite what she seems.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"features\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately no features were included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5 | AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The movie is presented with an anamorphic widescreen (2.35 aspect ratio) and looks alright while the Dolby Digital 5.1 is relatively standard though does provide for clear dialogue levels and minor depth for the score\/soundtrack.<br \/>\n<a name=\"audio\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><br \/>\n<a name=\"overall\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Overall, <strong><em>Trust Me<\/em> <\/strong>is not the perfect comedy-drama and probably could\u2019ve used a couple rewrites but as a follow-up to his 2008 film, <em>Choke<\/em>, it\u2019s not bad and he assembles (no pun intended) a fine set of actors and an at least engaging story.
