Witherspoon does 'Good'
The video cover for "The Good Lie" (PG-13, Warner) prominently features Reese Witherspoon, but this isn't just another uplifting tale of a white woman coming to the aid of desperately needy people of color. Happily, that isn't the story line in "The Good Lie," in which Witherspoon tamps down her perkiness to play a hard-edged employment agency executive. The movie spends most of its time tracing the early life of its three protagonists, escaping the torching of their village and the murder of their families. After walking hundreds of miles from Sudan to Ethiopia to Kenya, they end up in a refugee camp where, over 13 years, they grow into strong, resourceful young men.
