Iliza Shlesinger on Dating a Crazy Liar & Almost Meeting Quentin Tarantino

[@lukasschrauber]

Such a clever, funny and sad movie all in one. And finally an original story.

[@2CanSam1000]

Someone telling a lie to seem more attractive to someone else has been told time and time again hasn't it? I'm not hating on your comment I agree there is a need for originality I just don't think this is it

[@genevieve.annabelle3296]

@@2CanSam1000 nothings really original these days, especially if you reduce it to a basic premise. The originality is the personal spin on it.

@@2CanSam1000 True, but when it’s a true story it’s movie worthy. Plus, if you have followed Iliza over the years you’ve heard the “Brian story” time and time again.

[@kurtsudheim825]

It's hard to call it original when it actually happened, & she's spoken about it in her stand up. She's just regurgitating & adding the Hollywood sprinkles to it, to maximise profits

[@007Yasir]

I saw Good on Paper on Netflix last night, it was surprisingly entertaining, when she is on screen she commands. She is very photogenic and has a feisty character beefed up by her costar Margaret Cho.

[@brucerhodes8197]

I've seen her stand up, so when I saw she had a movie on Netflix I watched it...about a week ago... She did not disappoint..!!

[@vic5015]

Her movie with Mark Wahlberg is also on Netflix if I'm not mistaken.

[@robin31165]

@@vic5015 Yes, doesn’t she play a great part?

[@robin31165]

If you’d like her comedy specials see her live. You will absolutely, positively not be disappointed. She is absolutely brilliant as well as brilliantly funny! Very sweet too, if you happen to be lucky enough to meet her after the show. Edit: I saw her one week before she announced her pregnancy at her show in Texas & was saying to my niece how it seemed odd that she was wearing a T-shirt because I’ve never seen her dressed down for a live show. The next week when I saw her announced her pregnancy I thought “bingo, I knew that was a reason she was wearing a T-shirt“! Very happy for her and Noah, they will be wonderful parents. And let’s face it, they’re going to make a beautiful baby!

[@PhilFeedback]

My wife and I have met Iliza back a few years ago after her show! She was super nice and friendly to us!

[@MrsBungle78]

I know someone who pretended that *she* herself had cancer. She’d shave her head & wear a scarf on her head & milk everything she could out of everyone. It’s despicable.

[@mselizabeth2644]

Her and Kristin Wiig need to be in a movie together….playing sisters.

She has that "let me look at her for a minute and boom, I'm in love" - face

@@mm12345777 Q: Do you guys think this movie is as good or better than her standup specials?! **Asking for a friend**. Just playing, but for real, is it worth it to watch this film? Thanks you guys!!

[@Hollins23]

Yup!

@c soul nice quick wit! I like it!! Peace!!

[@justwantedtea]

Love Iliza! Not only is she funny but the she’s super smart. I’ve gone to her shows a couple of times and love it each time!

[@robin31165]

I couldn’t agree more! I just saw her a few weeks ago & it happened to be the week before she announced her pregnancy. I said to my niece that it was odd she was wearing a T-shirt because she’s usually more dressed up for shows. A week later she announced her pregnancy at a show in Texas (which makes perfect sense) and I thought “OK, now it makes sense”. So happy for them! I think they will be great parents and will undeniably make a beautiful & brilliantly intelligent baby. 👏👏👏❤️❤️

[@08rachely]

She could play Elizabeth Holmes in a biopic, all she needs is the voice lol.

[@Teaganbear]

Having just heard about her now through this video, she looks like a combination of Melissa Villaseñor and Miley Cyrus

[@Teaganbear]

Personally I don't really think she looks like Elizabeth Holmes though

[@FlyEaglesFly_2025]

Holy crap!!! I just caught that!! 🤯😱😂🤣

[@TJ-qb9ib]

She's funny. And I really like her hair.

[@fishercourt]

I was just thinking that same thing!!! Her standup is awesome with the fact she’s so vulnerable & ruthless on stage! But she pretty much says what we’re all actually thinking…but we don’t say out loud because of societal norms of ‘being a lady, who keeps her mouth shut due to our upbringing.” Anyway, as I ramble on and on, I apologize. To the point, her haircut looks really good on her! I’m sure it’s more comfy & cool this freaking hot summer. Ciao!.

[@davidbouchard5451]

i swear she looks like an entirely different person than her standup

[@mrwest5552]

i recall watching her perform this on stage for " this is not happening " and was shocked.

[@ceciliagiray7090]

Not sure I could watch that movie - I’ll get flash backs of my own experience of dating a guy who was living a double life. Lol

[@margauxf4321]

SAME

[@flibutterfli]

Same here. I wanted to ask if the sociopath is Gavern Dane Tate from Jamaica who wasted 5 years of my life. Its very sad that there are others like him around.

[@jcr-studios]

@bleedingred Um.. I think I said the guy "I" was dating was living a double life. Besides that, if you can rationalize that someone who "just lies" about his entire life is not so bad and that they're aren't living a double-life, I don't think you understand what that means. He's living BOTH his reality and a fantasy life with her. Get it?

[@jcr-studios]

@@flibutterfli So sorry to hear that. Yup there are too many who have sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies but I'm hopeful that with mental health becoming more and more understood and destigmatized, people will be more inclined to watch out for those traits in a partner.

[@ririririPXN]

I don't feel that the pressure to date unattractive people (or at least whom one finds unattractive) or they are superficial is something done against women. I think it is culturally acceptable to do against "hot" people. And no one has ever complained that they are not liked because of their looks by someone random. Everyone always complains that someone hot does not like them for superficial reasons. Newsflash, no one has to like anyone. Where did this entitlement come from?

UMMMM FERPA requires that colleges never divulge who has ever or ever will enroll in said colleges. You can't just call the registrar and get a fully truthful answer about "did this guy go there?". It's illegal federally. They may have said "we cannot give you that information" or, "we are not aware of that person" because of that law. Just for argument's sake. I've dated a psychopath before, so this is painfully familiar.

"In northwest Alaska, kunlangeta "might be applied to a man who, for example, repeatedly lies and cheats and steals things and does not go hunting, and, when the other men are out of the village, takes sexual advantage of many women." The Inuits tacitly assume that kunlangeta is irremediable. And so, according to Murphy, the traditional Inuit approach to such a man was to insist he go hunting, and then, in the absence of witnesses, push him off the edge of the ice."
