Movies that feel likeLittle White Lies (2010)

Despite a traumatic event, a group of friends decide to go ahead with their annual beach vacation. Their relationships, convictions, sense of guilt and friendship are sorely tested. They are finally forced to own up to the little white lies they've been telling each other.

If you loved Little White Lies, the closest films we have are Igby Goes Down (2002), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and The Farewell (2019). All three share Little White Lies' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lisbela and the Prisoner (2003).

Playful drama, and it commits to that

Good hearted but not very wordly-wise, Dante is happy driving the school bus for a group of mentally handicapped children, while feeling he is somehow missing out on life and love. So he is very excited when after nearly being knocked down by her car he meets Maria, who seems immediately enamoured of him. He is soon invited to her sumptuous Palermo villa, little suspecting that this is part of a plot. He bears an amazing likeness to Maria's stool-pigeon gangster husband and it would be convenient for them if the mobster, in the shape of Dante, was seen to be dead and buried.
